Software Engineering | Boston, MA

Did you know that mobile apps crash over  1,000,000,000  times a day? It’s a huge problem.

We’re Crashlytics, and we’re helping make mobile apps better for everyone. We provide real-time error detection and analysis for some of the top iPhone and Android apps out there -- and we show developers the line number of code where it all happened so they can fix the problem!

A lot of tools for software developers are ugly and hard to use - we believe that it doesn't have to be this way and are looking for someone who feels the same to help us build easy to use, beautiful products for software developers (and everyone else!).

About The Job  
  • You will focus on the modern web - We don't support IE6, so you'll never have to worry about it!
  • Direct contact to your customers.  You’ll be able to connect directly with customers who are using what you’re building and use their input to make the product better.
  • You will ship, ship, ship - we're huge fans of TDD, build/measure/learn, and are moving towards continuous deployment.
  • You’ll be hyper technical - Deep understanding and optimization are in our soul - what can your code accomplish in 18ms?
 
Requirements
  • You have previous experience architecting a full featured client application using Javascript.  This is a MUST.  If you have figured out how to bring stuff like  Coffeescript and Backbone into the mix, you are probably just as serious as we are about using the best technology available.
  • You’re an expert in object-oriented Javascript, HTML, and CSS - able to create elegant and maintainable code from mock ups.
  • You are ready to aggressively push your code out to our customers day one, and you are committed to building a flawless customer experience.  We are a team with a passion for great user experiences on mobile and the web, and want to work with someone that makes this a priority.
  • You want to play a lead role in building a beautiful application used by thousands of mobile developers around the world.
  • You’re smart, get stuff done, have great energy, and thrive in a fast paced environment.
  • You are independent, and want to solve complicated problems on a daily basis.  We don’t hand you a spec on your first day, we let you choose what you want to work on.
  • You are confident in your engineering abilities, and you aren’t afraid to break things.  We have an amazing team that can fix things quickly, so let’s figure out how to push the limits. 
Desired  
  • You’re into Javascript MVC frameworks.  If not Backbone, maybe Ember, Spine, or Knockout.
  • You are a seasoned developer tying front end technologies into the back end.  Whether you are in a Java environment or PHP... we don’t care.  You don’t have to be an expert at everything, we just want you to to be excited about taking your production experience and jumping into an emerging tech stack.
  • You believe in the fundamentals.
  • You’re an active contributor to any open source projects.
  • You’ve had previous mobile development experience.
  • You stay updated on current technologies -- go to meet up groups, have a favorite blog, follow your favorite developer on Twitter, etc.  Whatever works for you.

Knowledgent was founded with the mission to help an enterprise become more information centric.

Mining this data can produce highly instructive predictions about products, markets, customers and human behaviors.

Knowledgent is a first-in-category firm, built from the ground up to combine IM&A advisory and delivery capabilities with vertical domain knowledge. While our core capability is comprised of competencies that address business and IT strategy, business analysis, program management, information management and Big Data analytics, the context in which we approach any problem is the vertical industry of our clients.
