Microquest is an Edmonton-based software development company specializing in health IT. We're looking for a full-time Javascript Superstar/senior software developer to join our team of tech wizards and pop culture aficionados. Ideally we’d like someone that loves programming in their free time, keeps up to date with the latest and greatest in technology and frameworks, and has a serious passion for development.
Responsibilities
- Create some incredibly architectured applications. You understand n-tier development and why it’s important to decouple your data from your presentation layer.
- Focus on writing software and new features for users, not design. You’re a developer, not an artist. It works, right? You just have to click up here, then type in this thing over there, and hit CTRL+Shift+Enter to send it. It’s easy.
- Eeking out every possible bit of performance you can from the code. It’s never optimized enough.
- Providing assistance to the “lesser” employees that just don’t understand development. The ever-present “groan of disbelief” is expected when a question is asked of you.
- Participate in daily scrums and monthly sprints to actually get bug fixes and features released to our users
- Fight with the Quality Assurance team, assuring them that it works on your machine so it must be something wrong on their end
- Take part in the always exciting Change Review Board meeting, where you get a say into what features will and will not make it into future releases. This is a bribable position.
- Joke around with the rest of the team about whatever ridiculous thing occurred recently, including but not limited to: YouTube videos, pop culture references from 1970+, Comicon and/or Cosplay-related activities and the always present kitty memes
