What's the job like?
|
|
|
|
This is not a typical development job. As a developer at SoftArtisans, you will have a chance to work with our products from start to finish, from defining new features to designing the structure of the code to implementing new functionality that customers will use every day. Every two weeks, the development team decides on the next block of functionality to be implemented, with the goal of having a releasable build at the end of those two weeks. You will have the opportunity to work with many different platforms and with many different tools, ranging from server-side enterprise applications in .NET to open source Linux tools in Java to utility scripts in Ruby. Every day you will be working alongside a team of creative and innovative developers, whether it is to discuss how to attack challenging new problems, to flesh out an idea you have for a project, or to relax around a foosball table. |

What's the Company like?
|
|
|
|
After over 13 years, SoftArtisans still maintains the exciting atmosphere of a startup, giving employees exceptional opportunities to significantly impact the company and the products we develop. The SoftArtisans team is a close-knit group of people who like to both share new challenges and have fun. Every day, we collaborate at our desks (no cubicles in sight), over lunch, or at the large table that looks like a giant peanut - whether to come up with solutions to interesting technical issues, to discuss ways to improve the company, or to make plans for a custom built theremin. We are encouraged to pursue our individual interests, with hackathons in which we exclusively work on personal projects or pick up new skills. In one such hackathon our team members built an image preview Google Gadget, an HTML 5 uploader with animation, a new plug-in for Confluence and an Android application to get directions to and from local bars at the touch of a button. We also hold various after work activities ranging from a game of soccer or frisbee in a nearby park to kayaking down the Charles River or weekly Yoga classes and our annual company retreat. |
