Hi, What are we looking for? A software engineer/craftsman (yes I did read the Dan North post but I still like the term, you get points for being able to talk coherently about these things). Ideally you're a class act, you've been around the block a bit and you know your development onions. By which I mean that you're capable of writing clean code in a language like Ruby. In fact if you write good code in any OO or functional language then we're interested. Also you'll look at a terminal and be thinking "cool, I can make a sweet tool with that". We want you to support what you deploy so that means you need familiarity with Linux and RDBMSes, bonus points for chef/puppet. You're looking for a job that pays $80-$100k (if you're an absolute champion I'm prepared to move that bar a bit too) plus a bonus. Most of all we want the attitude and approach, I don't care where you're from, if you went to uni or if you can drive a submarine. Can you solve a problem and make a beautiful piece of software? If so I'm keen to have a chat.
What would I be working on? We have this tool called Integrity, its an RoR app with OK test coverage and it collects data to feed into Business Intelligence apps. It's designed to hoover up the scraps of data lying around in an organisation and make sure they're OK to feed into your BI setup. The app has a configuration front end and a data munching backend, as you'd expect Integrity can end up munching a lot of data. There are some lumpy bits in the code right now which require some refactoring TLC but then if was perfect that would be boring wouldn't it? We have a small number of customers right now but we have a number of trials in the pipeline (which is one of the reasons why we need you). It's a web app deployed as an appliance monitored by things like New Relic. We also have some other ideas flowing out of the consultancy business right now that are interesting but there's no one to work on them so we're not a one trick pony either. Who are we? C3 Business Solutions (C3 for short, that's what we say). We're a Business Intelligence consultancy that decided we need to do our own software. We have awards for Integrity from the AIIA and have some press like the BRW magazine's 100 fastest-growing Australian companies and SmartCompany's Smart 50. But I suspect you're more interested in the biscuits rather than the packet, so lets talk a bit about the real deal. We're a small team right now, technically four people but we're on the lookout for three new hires. We run an XP-based process and we work out of a little office in docklands with a whiteboard wall. Is there a dress code? Nope we binned that :) So if I'm interested? Drop me a line at [email protected] with some details of who you are (CV, Linkedin, Github, etc. are all interesting) and how we can get hold of you.
