Swift Software - Frederick, MD (Near DC) - Software Engineers for Product Development and Professional Services Are you tired of commuting to DC or Northern Virginia? Swift Software is a growing product-centered technology company seeking talented developers to join our development and proserv teams in Frederick, MD. Our flagship product is JobTraQ, a task management and workflow system that offers vastly more flexibility and power than any other product in our market segment, and is significantly less expensive and easier to configure than big "BPM" suites like MetaStorm and Lombardi. These advantages are allowing us to disrupt both markets.

Product developers will create new features in JobTraQ and enhance existing functionality. You’ll help us build advanced visual design and administration tools, augment the product’s business intelligence capabilities, improve performance and scalability, and use customer feedback to enhance all parts of the system.

Proserv developers will work with our mid-market and enterprise customers and our business analysts to design and implement software solutions that build on JobTraQ's capabilities. Our implementation and customization projects are usually one week to two months long, so you’ll enjoy a wide range of work on interesting problems for clients in many regions and industries. Recent projects have included a touchscreen system for warehouse tracking, integration with accounting systems, complex custom finance and billing reports, and automatic data synchronization.

Both teams have an enjoyable and collaborative culture in a creative environment. We interact positively and openly and emphasize learning and professional development. These attributes have enabled us to produce an industry-leading product with a globally recognizable and satisfied client base. Our environment is relaxed and fun, we play everything from Total Annihilation to Alien Swarm at our game nights, and we equip everyone with new quad-core Thinkpads with SSDs and dual monitors. Our policies and benefits are family-friendly, with generous vacation time, good health insurance options, and flexible work schedules.

For more information about these positions, see the links below. If you are interested in either one, email your resume to resumes@swiftsoftware.com.

Sonian (Newton, MA) - Full time, local or remote

We're a funded (recently closed Series C) email archiving startup with many customers. We are looking for an additional engineer for our operations (or "devops" if you prefer) team, to take us from merely using configuration management and automated deploys to delivering our internal services as dependable, multi-IaaS-portable tools that empower the rest of the company to solve customer issues.

We have offices outside of Boston (Newton), but our dev and ops teams are mostly remote, and we meet over VOIP and pair-program in tmux.

Some highlights of what we do:

  +   We manage hundreds of compute instances across multiple clouds, including over a petabyte of data.
  +   We write the code to help facilitate deploying our application to new public clouds.
  +   We automate everything we possibly can
  +   We build up awesome applications, and then opensource them (Perhaps you've heard of our monitoring framework Sensu - https://github.com/sensu )
  +   We meet up 2-3 times a year in Boston with the rest of the company.
What are we looking for in a new member of our team?

  +   Excitement, energy and a willingness to learn something new.
  +   The ability to take a task from idea to code to testing to deploy (all within a short amount of time).
  +   Bring new ideas around project or processes to the team - if we like it - we'll do it.
  +   You can work from home, from our Newton, MA headquarters, or your local coffee shop.  Anywhere with Internet access.
  +   You'll be part of an on-call rotation with the rest of our team.
  +   Flexible person who can work by themselves or pair with their team to teach or learn.
What are some things you should know or have worked with before? (Some, many or all)

  +   Ruby 
  +   Chef (comfortable writing cookbooks, LWRP's, etc), Fog
  +   Rails, Sinatra
  +   Git or other DVCS
  +   Strong System administration with Ubuntu (includes security, logging, monitoring, web/SQL admin, etc, etc)
  +   Contributing to open source
Interested? - Contact pete.cheslock@sonian.com or https://twitter.com/petecheslock, and let him know you saw this post. Please include a short summary of why you think you would be a good fit, resume/blog/etc, and a link to a Github account or other code samples.
