We build great technology for great people doing great things (like saving lives). Cheesy sounding, but true. We use the tech and tools you hear about at those bleeding-edge conferences to power web tools that trained crisis specialists use to chat with young people in crisis (bullying, self-harm, suicide, and the like).
We build for scale and are driven by our 4 core values:
- Teens #1.
- Kick ass and always get better.
- Be a lean machine. (See: The Lean Startup)
- Bring out the nerd.
What you'd be doing...
- Work directly with the rest of our 5-person staff to spec and build out new features and platforms for our users on web and SMS.
- Pick the right tool for the job, but also expand your toolkit. Hear about a new piece of tech? Let's give it a go.
- Think DevOps - don't just write the code, think about how you test it and deploy it to a distributed cloud environment. Jenkins, Puppet, Capistrano, Ant, DB migrations. The works.
- Work on side projects. We have instances of Moodle, OpenSkedge, and WordPress running and we're working with NLTK (Python) to build machine learning tools for our huge data set with over 2.6 million text messages.
