StoredIQ, an IBM Company

We are looking for smart, well-articulated, driven individuals who see new challenges as opportunities and not as hurdles. You are motivated by challenging tasks and are determined to drive projects assigned to you to successful ends. You can identify with and understand a problem deeply, and will not rest until you have solved it. You have a specialty in a few programming languages and tools and platforms, but they are not your identity – your passion goes beyond the tools to the end goals you aim to achieve. If a pacy work environment where you can hope to learn something new and exciting every day, and work with driven individuals just like you, is something that you seek as a refuge from a dour 9-5 job, that is exactly the kind of place we want to create.

The primary responsibilities of this position will include, but will not be limited to:

• Helping with laying down requirements for new features and “stories”
• Understanding wire-frames and user-experience design and transforming them into functional requirements
• Developing applications based on the designs that fulfill the documented requirements and meet other goals such as user-experience, aesthetics, performance, reliability and scalability.
• Ensuring that the User Interface is conformant to the standard look-and-feel described by the User Experience Architects (currently based in Austin).
• Working with other engineers in an Agile development process.
• Working with a QA team to ensure the final product is as good as it can be.

Basic skill-set expected to be useful for this position includes:

• Developing user interfaces for a Python-based application/web-server. This will involve both template design (Cheetah) and Django.
• Good working knowledge of HTML/CSS/Javascript/Ajax and the latest UI scripting tools.
• Experience in cross-browser compatibility exercises (primarily IE7+ and Firefox3+).
• Developing applications feeding the user interface using Python and among other things SQL.
• Well-versed in algorithms and data structures because these will eventually improve the reliability and performance of the applications you develop.
