Homesnap | Javascript Engineer | Bethesda, MD | Full-time, ONSITE https://www.homesnap.com/

Multiple slots available, mid to senior experience preferred.

Homesnap is an award-winning technology company serving the real estate industry. We're well-funded and based in Bethesda, MD. Our website and app empower people to find and share accurate, real-time real estate information, whether they are standing in front of a house or sitting on a couch.

We've been awarded several prestigious awards, including 2018 Washington Post Top Workplaces, Inc. Magazine Best Workplaces, #43 on Deloitte's Fast 500, and DC Inno Coolest Companies.

We are looking for JavaScript Engineers who are motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming. Responsibilities will include implementing visual elements and their behaviors with user interactions. You will work with both front-end and backend web developers to build all client-side logic. You will also be bridging the gap between the visual elements and the server-side infrastructure, taking an active role on both sides, and defining how the application looks and functions.

Email us at tthompson@homesnap.com to apply and we'll respond to you promptly.

I recently had a great conversation with USDS, they are an impressive organization and are doing a ton of good.

There were a few things that were deal killers for me:

* on site, relocation to DC. I don't mind flying out for meetings, and being onsite for a few weeks to get spun up, but commuting and sitting in an office every day is unproductive.

* mandatory drug testing. I'm not a big marijuana user, it's not really my thing, but being forced to pee in a cup is dehumanizing and humiliating. Until the federal government is able to find a way around mandatory drug testing, I think that they are going to miss out on a lot of top tech talent.

* disorganized 'tours'. This may have just been a mistaken impression on my part, but during my conversation there didn't seem to be a lot of clarity about what I'd actually be doing, or if it was a project I'd be interested in. It seemed more like "come on board, then we'll put you where we need you". As a highly technical CTO, founder and developer, there are specific problems (especially in healthcare) that I'm interested in helping with. I don't mind taking a pay cut to do good work, but the last thing I want to do is sign up for a "tour" and end up being assigned to something that doesn't fully utilize my capabilities.

Just wanted to give some direct feedback related to my experience with USDS, if others don't have the same concerns / restrictions that I do, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
