Your Role

Allovue is looking for engineers that display a love of their craft and are continuing to strive to learn more about programming and building software in general. We don’t stop at helping to facilitate K–12 education; we strongly believe to stop learning is to grow stagnant.

We are looking for candidates that are varied in experiences and are generally well-versed in one or more specific areas of practice. Those areas may include:

• front-end development
• back-end development
• data mining
• operations

We have services written in R and Ruby: including a Rails API. We use Postgres and Elasticsearch as our persistence layers and Ember.js as the framework we currently use for our client-side application. Some languages we have been evaluating for upcoming services include Clojure, Elixir, and Node.js. We do not expect a candidate to have all of those skills currently, but he/she should be proficient in building web applications at scale.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development
• Comprehensive knowledge of one or more of these languages:
  • JavaScript
  • Ruby
  • Clojure
• Experience with MVC frameworks and paradigms
• Excellent designer of APIs for other developers (and future self!)
• Solid understanding of both unstructured and relational databases
• Collaborative
• Low ego and high pride in your work

Bonus Points
