• Experience in core aspects of web application development including design, development, separation of layers, configuration, performance, integration, analytics
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills: strong interpersonal skills
• Detail-oriented, self-started, motivated, results-driven, with high-level of energy, enthusiasm, and initiative

We have an awesome work environment with:

• Full Health Insurance, Dental, Vision, Life, 401k matching, Short and Long Term Disability

• Apple Laptop and Workstation
• Free Breakfast/Soda/Coffee (really, really good coffee: espresso, cappuccino)

• Free Conference Admission (once per year)
• An on-site Personal Trainer

If you were with us already, you would have:

• Launched products that have won TechCrunch Disrupt awards

• Scaled out a 8 million document system to return queries in under 30ms across cloud platforms
• Eaten lots of tacos (about once a week)
• Every week: written a blog post once, attended a "Tech Demo", and code reviewed your teammates
• Worked on a community service project "pro-bono" on behalf of a deserving charity
• Had a one-on-one performance review, weekly one-on-ones on current work
• Spoken directly with the client (not through some project manager who doesn't know what's going on)
• Worked out with our on-site, on-staff personal trainer (sessions twice a week)
• Been challenged to improve (iterate) on everything

We have a kick-ass office space, and super flexible work hours (hint: there are none). We're a Results-Only Work Environment.

Our target salary is at the 75% percentile (above average) for Atlanta Web Developers, AND we provide cooler benefits, exciting and challenging work, and foster a results-only environment. We have several internal levels for developers with Revenue Targets, and a Quarterly Team-based bonus structure.

While we've been lauded as Rockstars, Ninjas, Cowboys, Aliens -- we're looking for Professionals.  Come join our team.
