Love the fast-paced and creative environment of a start-up, but could do with a little less stress and chaos? FreshBooks has been around for more than five years now and has a fanatical fan base of over a million people who use our groundbreaking web application. We need fresh-thinking, disciplined developers who know their way around tools like jQuery, SQLALchemy and RabbitMQ but also know their enterprise-level design. In return, we supply a stable, creative environment(want a Mac? got Ubuntu? No problem!) with a competitive compensation package, and the sort of collaboration that comes out of just wanting to get things done, not from the latest IEEE-mandated "best practice".
You will:
Join our development team in designing and developing our popular online application and the tools we use to run our business behind the scenes — you should be able to figure out what that entails. You’ll learn hands-on about our industry and our customers, and you’ll be figuring out how to make them happy, and then going ahead and doing it.
We need you to have:
• 3 years’ experience building online applications
• 2-3 years experience with object-oriented development in dynamic languages like Python or Ruby
• Serious SQL chops and experience with an ORM
• Communication skills like whoa (you better be able to talk to customers on the phone (yes, we talk to our customers on the phone))
• Demonstrated fanatical attention to detail
• No desire to waste our time because you don't actually have some of the qualities described above
We hope you have:
• Experience deploying and maintaining web server technology
• Familiarity with source control systems
• Some experience with event-driven or functional programming
• Experience with “Agile” development methodologies (whatever “Agile” means)
Interested? Send your resume and cover letter to careers@freshbooks.com and tell us why this is a role for you.
