The right person will bring energy, passion, and a love for technology to the role. We are looking for people who are curious, love creating solutions and get excited about new technology.

If selected for this role, you will be key player on our technology team and a major contributor to our internal e-commerce platform. Our ecommerce platform processes all orders for our rapidly growing company, so knowledge and experience creating highly scalable applications is essential.

* Flexing your muscles on aspects of application development outside of app code: database modeling, query optimization, setting up efficient logging and monitoring solutions, and other advanced requirements for highly functioning apps (you do not need to be a DBA or SysAdmin).

* Experience working with AWS services is a plus.
* Working in a professional development team environment
* Experience using tools like Git / github.com and Jira.
* Must be located in North America (US or Canada).
* Must be fluent in English (verbal and written).

Personality Traits You Should Have

* Results focused - nuff said!
* Curious - strong desire to learn, especially new technology
* Optimizer - natural gift for identifying and solving problems quickly and effectively
* Resourceful - finds ways over, around or through barriers and challenges
* Driven - relentless, passionate, self-starter, super determined
* Team Player - approachable, cooperative and a good collaborator
* Responsible - truly have an ownership attitude
* Organized - effectively manage work / projects in multiple areas at the same time
* Great communicator - skilled listener, strong written and verbal communication
* Productive - great at managing your time, a strong starter and finisher
* Detail oriented - must have an eye for detail
* Growth oriented - you are always looking for ways to be and do better
* Witty - If you enjoy word play and arcane references to sci-fi then you'll fit right in.
* Tough - must be able thrive under pressure if the situation calls for it.

As you can see, I am very clear about the role, the responsibilities, the experience, skills and personality traits needed in order to be successful. If you feel you are a strong fit for the role, I definitely want to hear from you and encourage you to apply.
