Austin, TX preferred; Remote possible
You have written a LOT of code in your life - but it's still fun to dive into new stuff, like websockets, nosql or Hadoop, or explore an interesting language like nodejs or ruby/rails. You find Heroku and Cloud9 intriguing. Even twenty years later, you like how the web continues to transform the way people work and live.
Coding is both art and science to you, and you're willing to share knowledge with talented up-and-coming coders, yet welcome collaboration with veteran peers from whom you still learn every day.
Front end, back end, or classic app coding, you've done it all - in a web-centric context.
Join our talented team at appsoma.com and help build innovative systems augmenting the Appsoma platform.
