Test Driven Developer opening at virtuwell

[zach]

Forget all the rules. That’s what we did when we created virtuwell. At virtuwell™ we began with the idea that health care should be simple, convenient and affordable. We wanted to create amazing medical diagnosis and treatment experiences while cutting the costs in half. And we created it because we saw a great new way to do something good: To make people well.

And that’s why we’re not just looking for anyone. We’re looking for people who are compassionate, creative, flexible, adaptive, and articulate, and self-motivated at the cellular level to do something good, for everyone.

Our software developers are the technical energy that sparks to life virtuwell’s revolutionary approach to online convenience care. We are dedicated Agile practitioners. We use these techniques to ensure that we continually deliver exceptional value to our consumers. We expect our team members to craft work of the highest quality and in turn keep our work environment stimulating and our hours sane. As a Software Developer you will play a central role in the design, development and delivery of virtuwell’s web and mobile web applications. We also encourage our developers to contribute to the technology community through speaking, writing and participating in open source projects. We’re looking for someone who thrives on solving new business problems that make a difference (like helping us solve one of our nation’s biggest problems – delivering simple, convenient and affordable health care). We are always exploring new technologies, tools and techniques and want you to do the same. Continually learning, adopting and inventing new tools and techniques is a requirement for your and our success.

Zach is spot-on here, and I will add that we are a highly motivated and friendly bunch working with really cutting edge stuff. In addition to the flexible work schedule, we're flexible on tools as well: bring your own preference of machine, IDE, and tools in general, whatever you need to build great things.

If you're smart and committed to writing high-quality software, talk with us. Email us. Ask to have a lunch or coffee meeting to talk more, or find us at the GUM or JS monthly meet ups at Refactr. We're an open door and looking for more great people to add to our team and keep Minneapolis on the map as a bastion of excellent Grails development!
