Chennai
We're looking for an awesome, fun, smart, hardworking, creative, friendly, responsible team player. Your day will consist of tasks like researching, designing, architecting, implementing and testing solutions. We're looking for a full-stack engineer to join our small and talented team. As one of our first Software engineers, you'll have the opportunity to work on all aspects of our product, from backend Python services to slick dashboard features in JavaScript.
Ideal candidates are passionate advocates of technology and open source. You should be self-motivated, self-directed, and excited about solving hard problems. We're looking for people who don't just use these these tools and services, but people that write them. It is one thing to start a virtual machine on a host, it is another to have the curiosity to read the source code and figure out how it all works. We are looking to balance the -been there, done that- with the -why can't we do it that way?- mentality of thinking. The ability to challenge assumptions and conventions is important.
