Job Description

Kapow, now a Cvent company, is an industry-leading event platform that allows companies to find, book and manage memorable, scalable and essential corporate events. We help companies grow revenue quickly by combining 10,000+ unique, pre-packaged experiences, national partnerships with restaurants, retailers and other special event venues, and the service and expertise of local event experts. Kapow empowers customers to drive stakeholder collaboration, boost attendance, fill pipeline, measure success and produce bottom-line results from their event programs.

Headquartered in Chicago, we operate all over the U. S. and in select international markets.

Here's where you come in. We're looking for motivated, energetic and flexible team players that want to be part of something big. If you're a self-starter looking to carve out a niche at an early-stage, high-growth company, Kapow is the place for you.

What You Will Be Doing

* Work on Internet scale applications, where performance, reliability and scalability, are critical design goals - not after-thoughts.
* Learn the nuts and bolts of Microservices Architecture and build robust RESTful APIs.
* Create beautiful, interactive and easy-to-use web applications using modern client-side frameworks and libraries
* Gain experience with different database technologies, ranging from traditional relational to the latest NoSQL products such as Couchbase and Elastic Search.
* Create innovative mobile applications on a wide range of platforms including iOS, Android and others.

?Cvent offers a fun, collegial work environment tailored to sharpening your technical skills and growing as a software professional. While we have evolved from startup to mid-sized company, our Technology Team has preserved an entrepreneurial and merit-driven culture where meaningful initiative and contribution are recognized and rewarded.

* 3+ years of overall development experience which ideally includes working with a dynamic programming language (Ruby, Python, Javascript)
* Experience with using and implementing RESTful APIs
* Experience with one or more of the commonly used javascript libraries and frameworks.
* Experience with Facebook's React framework would be a big plus.
* Experience with one or more of the following databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Couchbase, MongoDB, Redis or other NoSQL technologies
