[full-time] Mid Level Developer for Redfin at Redfin

2010-04-28 16:50:33

Location: Anywhere
URL: http://www.redfin.com

Description:

Software Developer; San Francisco

This is a full time on site position for Redfin in San Francisco.

As a developer on the Search team, your job is to make searching for a home as easy (and addictive!) as searching for your favorite LOLcat pic. The Search team takes an incredibly complicated, largely offline search process and makes in to an easy, fun, AJAX-y, iPhone-y experience. From the first moment that a user types in “www.redfin.com” to the moment he or she submits an offer through Redfin, the Search Team is responsible for making sure that the user gets all the information about all the houses for sale, whenever the user wants and wherever the user is.

We’ve built a bleeding-edge real estate search site with hordes of rabid fans and an iPhone app that was featured in Apple’s TV ad campaign, but we’re not even close to done. Come help us create the next set of mobile, UGC, and next-generation user interface features that will make Redfin the best site about real estate ever.

Who you really are: You are a rockstar developer who thinks like an end user, who knows that 90% done is only half done, and who can build rock-solid code that will withstand millions of users banging on it. You love beautiful, simple user interfaces, and you constantly wonder what you could have done to make your last project simpler. You love working with a smart, talented team, because you know that makes you better, and when you disagree, you disagree constructively, with respect for everyone else’s opinions and ideas.

The Tools: There is a ton of Dojo, a big heap of Spring/JSP/HTML, Linux, Apache/Tomcat, some Java, a bit of jUnit,a dash of Postgres and Hibernate, and a host of other open source development tools. We don’t expect you to have used all these tools, although it’s great if you have.

The most important thing is that you pick up new technologies quickly and eagerly.

What you’ll get from us: Support and resources to continue learning, a young brilliant team with which to collaborate, an office in downtown San Francisco close to all the action, and a commitment to your career so you can grow with the company under a management team that has experience building start-ups into profitable, publicly traded companies.

Description:

Media Service Provider has been working with ISPs and the music industry to offer ISP customers groundbreaking levels of access to digital music—and a groundbreaking user interface to match.

Tasked with delivering an innovative, browser-based music application to a large audience, it’s critical that we are able to deliver a reliable, responsive and fun user experience across a range of modern browsers (no IE6!). As a key addition to our development team, you’ll be central to this effort.

The role would suit a Javascript guru who enjoys the challenge of developing a real thick-client application in the browser. It may equally suit a GUI application developer with solid experience on other platforms (Cocoa, C#, Java, Flash, GTK, ...) who’s confident in their ability to pick up the necessary Javascript skills.

Required skills:

Solid software development background
Strong object-oriented design and programming skills (in the context of stateful, longer-running GUI applications would be particularly good)
Foundations of web development: HTTP, HTML, CSS, Javascript and the DOM

User interface development

And some nice-to-haves:

‘Thick client’-style javascript application development
Javascript frameworks (we’re using Dojo toolkit)
Browser-based unit and integration testing
RESTful web service APIs (mainly consuming them, but API design and implementation experience could be handy too)
A feel for usability issues
Server-side development with Ruby
Source control with Git

An interest in music!

In return we can offer challenging problems in an interesting field, opportunities for growth and to get involved with other aspects of our offering, at a fast-moving company based in the east end.
