Original posting

Pathgather - http://pathgather.com - ONSITE preferred, REMOTE a possibility - New York, NY Pathgather is an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional learning systems forced on employees - is one you'll actually enjoy using, time and time again. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all large companies: how to continuously train & educate your workforce with modern/relevant content. One way we're doing that is through one of the more engaging & attractive interfaces in the enterprise market today. Historically, it seems that enterprise products can "get away" with compromising on UI/UX, especially compared to consumer products. We don't believe that should be the case. We strive to be a product you use daily, but in order for us to achieve that, our interface needs to meet (and exceed) the standards you experience on a daily basis. We're looking for an engineer who can focus & make strides on this goal. You'll do everything from helping define the UI/UX for new feature releases to actual feature implementation. About You - You don't test a feature in the browser without dev tools open - You're well versed in Javascript (we use Coffeescript), sans frameworks like jQuery - You have experience building front-end features from conception to launch. This means extensive knowledge with CSS (we use Sass) and HTML (Haml) - Perhaps you have experience in AngularJS. If not, you can learn here though - Ideally, you have experience with front-end dev tools like Bower, Browsersify, Grunt, Jasmine, etc - You're used to writing unit & E2E tests for your code About Us - We're a Techstars NYC 2014 graduate - We've got customers the likes of Qualcomm & Twitter backing us - We're making a splash in a very antiquated industry, which means you'd be given the opportunity to design unprecedented solutions to problems that have plagued companies for quite some time - On Fridays, you have the opportunity to work on or learn whatever you like. We often work on open source software (https://github.com/Pathgather) or dig into new technologies If you're interested, please email me at jamie@pathgather.com. Thanks!
