Hiring junior/intermediate developers for immediate start!
by Zack Newsham 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hello All, Good news: We're hiring! We’re looking to hire a group ( 3 - 5 ) junior/intermediate developers on a part time contract basis. We’re building real live commercial products, which means you can gain experience in a commercial environment, learn a few tricks, and develop real-world products that actually make a difference in peoples’ lives. More good news: we’re flexible. So long as you give us advance notice, you can pretty much set your own hours (between 10 and 30 per week) and put them in at any time of day or night which you choose. We’re looking to give people an opportunity to prove themselves. Commercial experience helps but it’s not a must. What is a must is that you know what you’re doing. The ideal candidate would have experience developing with as many of the following as possible: Java, Javascript (native and jQuery), Node.js and Meteor as well as other web technologies (CSS, HTML5, SQL, PHP). Experience with Agile and test driven development is desirable, but not essential, as is experience developing/implementing API’s. We’re looking for you to start right away, and we have several months of work lined up - this ain’t no one and done contract. We’re offering $20 - $30 per hour, depending on experience and how you perform on a short development test. Interviews start this week. Please send the following to znewsham(a)uwaterloo.ca: 1) Your CV / resumé 2) A sample of your best code - git repo, live site, zip file, whatever 3) A ranking of your top 5 skills (eg. 1. Java, 2. Javascript, 3. Breaking things, 4. Ruby, etc..) 4) 2 or 3 times when you’re free to meet for an interview this coming week 5) A link to the funniest thing you’ve seen online lately ( we’re always on the hunt for a good laugh ) This is the part where you get excited and apply. Look forward to hearing from you! Zack
