KickBack Rewards Systems, Remote (Idaho)

  KickBack Rewards Systems
  http://www.kickbacksystems.com
  http://careers.kickbacksystems.com

KickBack Rewards Systems is a privately held company founded in 1999 that specializes in customer specific marketing and payments for over 1000 US clients. Our clients include a half-dozen Fortune 50 companies, one of them is an anchor partner in our national coalition loyalty program. As the CTO and Director of Software Development I need some help! You will be joining a medium sized team of 13 developers who all commit to their projects as a labor of love and their lives work. If you are interested in any of these positions my contact information is located under my profile.

-

Back-end engineer

I am looking for that elusive 10x engineer polyglot that can create scalable back-ends. The right person is on-board with microservices and has been implementing them since before they were a fad. Message queues, concurrency and fault tolerance should be second-nature to you. Our current stack is Python, Celery, and Docker.

-

Front-end engineer

Our front-end tools are all built in AngularJS with a half dozen other JavaScript libraries like D3. We have some interesting UI/UX challenges in graphing metrics and representing data that our current front-end team describe as nothing less than "the most exciting and challenging work they've had for awhile." You're supported by an incredible UX team to perform the heavy lifting as far as design and deciding which A/B testing should occur.

-

Mobile Developer

KickBack uses Xamarin (C#) to build a native and compiled mobile application for iOS and Android. We have an amazing contractor building our app who is acting as the lead, architect and senior engineer. You'll be working with the best. We're looking to add a little redundancy and augment the team with additional resources if we can.

-

Security engineer

Last but not least, I am looking for an Information Systems Security expert. KRS works in a live transaction processing environment and identifying fraud, patterns and preventing information breaches and transaction fraud is second nature to the right candidate. I'm looking for that type-a engineer who cannot sleep if he or she believes an attack vector exist. He or she has an extreme sense of responsibility and can execute on delivering best-practice prevention methods. This role is both advisory ("Team, implement this best practice") and execution ("Team, I implemented this best practice..") We're lean and mean so you should have no problem at all hacking on Ruby one day to deploy a new 'hids' through Chef or drafting a Cisco IOS access-list the next.
