Lead Software Developer Job Opening
The Opportunity
We're developing a new web application project and are looking for a developer to come and join us. We're looking for a smart, driven person who thrives on producing results. Ideally, you have experience in all aspects of the SDL and have worked on Web + SaaS projects before. You should have experience dealing with shifting requirements in an agile environment. A history of shipping code is a plus.
The Role
You'll be responsible for helping set iteration priorities and be the lead developer on the project. You'll coordinate design and deployment strategies with others but be the primary developer on the project.
