Senior Full Stack Developer
Boulder, CO
We are currently looking to hire several Senior Full Stack Developers. We want people who know JavaScript, CSS and the JVM well beyond the syntax and into many of their idioms, patterns and advanced libraries. On the JavaScript side, we make heavy use of promises and modules; on the CSS side, we make use of transitions and tools for precompilation; on the JVM side we use Scala and we’re looking for Scala developers or strong Java developers looking to learn Scala.
Our environment is full of interesting and intelligent people, and we’re looking for similarly high caliber developers to join us. We've got a PhD from Oxford with deep roots in category theory, as well as contributors to the Play Framework and an iteratee-based MongoDB driver for Scala (http://reactivemongo.org/). We strongly emphasize open source development and have already released a Scala library for Datomic (http://pellucidanalytics.github.com/datomisca/). We have several other open source projects in the works, including a promise-based JavaScript library for high performance UI in native iOS applications. Our software stack is meant to be 100% non-blocking and our libraries are focused on making that a reality.
You would be working on a product that will have a major impact on investment banking workflows, especially with respect to financial visualization and analytics, through automation as well as fluid and intuitive UX. Even though we're focused on the finance sector and many on our team come from banking, we maintain a startup feel, but are well funded so neither pay nor job security is an issue. We offer four weeks of vacation, brand new Macbook Pros, and 30 inch monitors. We also do hack days and make strong efforts to include interesting technologies into our daily work.
Desired Experience:

Senior Front End Developer
Boulder, CO
We have several Senior Front End Development positions open. We're looking for people who know JavaScript well beyond the syntax and into the many of the idioms and patterns, like promises and the Modules pattern. We’re looking for people who know CSS well beyond changing fonts and text colors. We use some of the more advanced CSS3 features, like CSS transitions, and we’d expect a good candidate to have used those features too.
Our environment is full of interesting and intelligent people, and we’re looking for high caliber people to join us. To give you an idea of where that is, we've got a PhD from Oxford with deep roots in category theory; we've got contributors to playframework (https://github.com/playframework/play); contributors to a MongoDB driver for Scala (http://reactivemongo.org/); we're developing our own open source library for Datomic (http://pellucidanalytics.github.com/datomisca/), and we've got two other open source projects in the works (not open yet), including a JavaScript library for UI and a non-blocking AWS library. Our software stack is meant to be 100% non-blocking, and our libraries are focused on making that a reality.
In general I think we can all agree that banking is marred by horrid UX and UI. We're building an application to fix some of that, and make a major impact on the way investment bankers work through not only automation, but fluid and intuitive UX. And even though we come from banking, the environment at Pellucid has a startup feel, but we're well funded so pay and job security aren't issues. We offer four weeks of vacation, brand new Macbook Pros, and 30 inch monitors. We do hack days and make strong efforts to include interesting technologies into our daily work.
