Morning Consult
Software Engineer
Original posting
Morning Consult | Software Engineer | Washington, DC | FULL-TIME, ONSITE
We're a public opinion startup. Bootstrapped and profitable. Running daily polls on politicians and thousands of brands, all of which can be granularly explored by date/geo/demographic/etc (Uber was a fun one to watch). Some better explanation here: http://www.businessinsider.com/morning-consult-election-poll...
We aren't looking for engineers who:
* require a lot of externally-imposed structure or process to succeed
* want to spend most of their time working on bleeding-edge technical challenges
* enjoy architecting systems more than writing code/tests
These perks will come with time as we grow, but we're only 6 devs right now, and most of our pressing challenges are frankly pretty standard problems that we're solving for the first time for a historically low-tech industry.
You'll enjoy working here if you want to:
* build full-feature systems end-to-end from prototype to production (being responsible for all aspects, from UI to server-side to unit tests to devops)
* grow with a team of mostly self-taught and rough-around-the-edges engineers in a town that still call devs the "IT guys"
* dig into interesting polling data (ex. "Is there a correlation between favorability and purchasing consideration among Internet Service Providers?")
Our tech: NodeJS, RethinkDB, Marko, Nginx, AWS, some other usual suspects
