Web Developer- Back End Development

As
a senior back end engineer you will be leading the build of the software the
runs our clients’ websites.  You will
lead small teams of talented engineers and collaborate with front end
developers, information architects, business analysts and visual
designers.  You will naturally know the
good solutions to any given problem and be able to direct the team in executing
those solutions across different software languages, tools and environments.  

Our
typical engagement size and the size of our teams makes it possible for all
team members to craft and shape the experiences we produce, with the full
support of the leads and directors.  The
flexibility of our process makes for happy clients and the unusual ability to
produce exactly the work you envision. 
Each project will have one Senior Backend Engineer as the lead for all
back-end coding and markup integration. 
If you want to make a real difference on a project, this is your dream
role.

Off
projects, you will be expected to teach your colleagues something they didn’t
know in an area you are excited about. 
Has continuous integration only been a dream for you?  Make it happen.  Fast data indexing your thing?  How about NoSQL data structures?  There is no shortage of opportunity to use it
here.
