Senior Software Engineer

Work with cutting-edge open-source technology

Citrusbyte caters to high-end clients with challenging project requirements. You will take on projects like adding chat and a rich virtual world to a user's browsing experience or providing a stable transactional platform for private equity to name a few, instead of building yet another content management system with a different skin. Meeting our clients' challenges require us to work with the latest technology open source has to offer, and may even mean extending those libraries where necessary.

Unlike a product firm where you have an established set of technology being used, we have to pick the best tools for the specific needs of a project. Therefore when hiring we emphasize the ability to learn over specific expertise in a few areas. Our developers don't have to worry about working with the same technology over and over -- new codebases are started and blossom all the time.

No babysitting. No architecture astronauts.

We do not hire junior developers here at Citrusbyte. As studies have shown, the best developers are 10-20x as effective as the average, and thus provide the most value both to us and our clients. You will never have to walk a junior colleague through a basic task.

We also believe in hands-on development from our technical leads. Many consultancies have their senior developers lay out a spec or framework and then move on to the next project, leaving those on the project to constantly face the battle between the original spec and the project's changing requirements. We don't do that here. Our tech leads are highly involved in the day-to-day engineering of their projects and do not hand down technology edicts from high.

We'll never give up the start-up environment

In start-ups people have the ability to make their own decisions, take leadership of themselves and get things done. The people within Citrusbyte can all manage themselves and are allowed to do so. We have company cards as the policy is "spend what you need". We have no vacation policy other than "take some time and make sure your work gets done". If there is a suggestion for something to be done, its expected that you rally whomever is necessary and get it done -- costs will be covered.

We have strong values

Its really hard to say it better than the Netflix Jobs Page already has. We're not Netflix, but we look for all the same values (Judgement, Innovation, Leadership, Curiosity, Communication, Honesty, Selflessness, Passion)

We're a personality based company

We have a pervasive culture that is evident in all that we do. We're not just code-monkeys, we're also into a variety of hobbies that make us diversified individuals.

Who we're looking for

The ideal candidate understands consulting. They will understand the client-vendor relationship, communicate well, and consistently hit self-set deadlines.

The candidate would be responsible for:

• Working under the guidance of a team lead to implement application functionality
• Communicate task progress & impediments to other team members, management and clients
• Be able to develop applications quickly, with readable and sensible code.

Necessary Experience:

• 2+ years consulting or professional web development
• Full stack knowledge of web technology: from provisioning servers to front-end CSS and Javascript
• Intimate familiarity with the HTTP protocol and its strengths and weaknesses

Interested?

While we aren't perpetually hiring, we do like to keep track of talent interested in working with us. Apply at any time and your resume will be kept on file should we not have open positions.
