At BloodHub we are focused on helping blood centers and hospitals maximize the efficiency of their interactions. Our project managers work closely with our customers to identify their business objectives. These business objectives are then presented to the engineering team for implementation. As an experienced full stack developer you'll have latitude to present a solution you feel maximizes the business objectives while maintaining the integrity of the system.
Our team is remote and this allows engineers to work flexible hours at a place of their choosing. We first try to put out any fires (there aren't many), quash bugs and then build features. We lean heavily on test harnesses to minimize regressions and CI to maximize automation. We avoid meetings and regard email as a necessary communication tool. The languages we use are mostly Ruby on Rails, Javascript, and CoffeeScript. PostgreSQL is our main data store while MS-SQL is used for customer integrations. The tools we lean on are Cucumber, Rspec, GitHub and CircleCI. Our migration to the Google Cloud platform is underway.
Your average day will start with checking in with the team and making sure no one has any immediate needs. Usually there aren't any. You'll then be able to focus on your engineering tasks. As a full stack engineer this will include direct engineering work on the product, SQL based client integrations, code reviews and DevOps related work. You will be expected to make progress in a self-directed fashion without micromanagement. At the end of each day you should feel good about your work product, the company's direction and enjoy your free time.
