About ThinkData

ThinkData helps organisations turn any data into fuel for their business. With the most diverse catalogue of data in the world, ThinkData pulls public data from everywhere. We are an emerging force in enterprise data management and we hold a unique space above our competitors.

Companies of all sizes are only just beginning to tap into the potential of available data. With internal data being made more accessible through the adoption of proper warehousing, and new streams of external data published daily, the world of data management has never been more dynamic and cumbersome – but there has also never been more opportunity.

Our mission at ThinkData is to significantly increase the amount of data accessible within an organization. We are creating a standard way to access the disparate world of data and organizations are relying on our platform to power their decision science.

We need a Polyglot Developer to join our team. Someone with expertise in Java, Go or Ruby. A Polyglot Developer who wants to focus on scaling our big data processing pipeline to further increase the load it can take. Just one of six projects we have on the go, another being our transformation engine, this is a challenging environment where we are changing the way organisations think about data.

At ThinkData, we don’t want to put you in a box before you get here. We are looking for people who are passionate about programming and who love learning and using new tools and languages. If you are a highly skilled developer, we will capitalize on your strengths.

What’s in it for you?

• The chance to make an impact. You will be empowered to make decisions and make a difference as a driving force on the team.
• Access to new tech. At ThinkData we don’t shy away from bleeding edge tech. We encourage you to experiment, test and push the boundaries through research and development.
• New builds. You will utilize open source tech to build new, unique product features, addressing change requests and incorporating user feedback into the product roadmap.
• A clean slate. We have new ideas to develop and we are open to new concepts. This is a chance to develop products and APIs on a virtual blank page and introduce your own ideas for future products.
• A dynamic environment. We are a startup that works with enterprise companies. That means complex challenges that are continuously changing. It’s projects that quickly evolve as we respond to the demands of the environment and innovate to solve problems that might not even exist yet.

So, how do we know that’s you? You can:

• Push us to the next level. With three years hands-on experience developing enterprise apps and exposure to data analytics products, you bring expertise in Java, Go or Ruby (on and off Rails). Your backend expertise is well rounded to include other open source tech such as MongoDB, elasticsearch and PostgreSQL. You can work across our full stack, pick up new tech easily and build out features for our platform. Familiarity with Docker, RabbitMQ, Angular and React is an asset.
• Innovate solutions to complex problems. Communication and decisiveness are key as is the ability to weigh the opinions of others. You can confidently make software design decisions.
• Collaborate. You can mentor the team, work autonomously and as a contributing team member.
• Evolve with us. The landscape is being built under our feet as we move forward, so we need people who can channel their passion, learn quickly and navigate the unknown at top speed.
• Rock climb or rock out. With a Joe Rockheads across the street, most of our engineering team has a love for solving the puzzle of getting up the walls efficiently. There are also a shocking number of musicians floating around. We’re guessing it’s a precision art-perfectionist thing.

Need more reasons to join?

We may be technologically driven, but like any good Canadian we know the best ideas are thought of up north in a cottage. We currently take two 3-day retreats for mission setting, aligning with our goals, product management and team building. We usually do a spring and fall one up at a cottage. We’re not saying this involves a beer keg, guitars and campfires. But we’re not saying it doesn’t.

We are managing our growth. We continue to promote and nurture the open, collaborative nature of who we are and how we work. And we don’t just support each other in the office. The number of musicians in-house is pretty overwhelming, from big band trumpeters to death metal guitarists. There’s always a co-worker with a gig coming up and we go out to cheer them on.

If being a pioneer in the world of data and solving real-world problems sounds like a future you want to be part of, express your interest here or follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn to learn more about us.

About ThinkData

ThinkData helps organisations turn any data into fuel for their business. With the largest open data catalogue on the continent, ThinkData pulls public data from everywhere. We are an emerging force in enterprise data management and we hold a unique space above our competitors.

Companies of all sizes are only just beginning to tap into the potential of available data. With internal data being made more accessible through the adoption of proper warehousing and new streams of external data published daily, the world of data management has never been more dynamic and cumbersome – but there has also never been more opportunity.

We need a Product Integrations Developer to join our team. Whether you are a Technical Writer with bootcamp acquired coding skills or a QA Analyst with side-projects; you are looking to step out from behind the scenes and into a customer-facing role. You might be a BA seeking a chance to be more hands-on on the programming side or a content creator who codes their own demos. Whatever your background, if you are passionate about solving problems and connecting the dots, we will capitalize on your strengths.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to conduct research, be hands-on and engage with clients who are integrating our software. You want to take on the role of point-person and apply your knowledge of working with the latest 3rd-party tech out there – from Tableau and Power BI to IBM Watson and data visualization tools.

What’s in it for you?

• Career growth. This is a new role within ThinkData, one that you can build out and define as your own. As we continue to scale quickly, the possibility to lead a team exists.
• The chance to be an influencer. You will be empowered to make decisions and make a difference as a driving force on the team. You will design documents, write blogs and create content to promote the ease and efficiency of integrating 3rd party products and tooling with our platform.
• The recognition. You will make a direct impact on our growth as you foster responsive relationships with our clients – a direct lead to an increase in contract size.
• Access to new tech. At ThinkData we don’t shy away from bleeding edge tech. We encourage you to experiment, test and push the boundaries through research and development.
• A dynamic environment. We are a startup that works with enterprise companies. That means complex challenges that are continuously changing. It’s projects that quickly evolve as we respond to the demands of the environment and innovate to solve problems that might not even exist yet.

So, how do we know that’s you? You can:

• Take a vision and facilitate discussion. You will develop a deep understanding of client requirements, gathering information on scope, gaps and risks. You are detail-oriented and personable.
• Champion integrations. You can gain – and apply – insights while building relationships. Communication, strong research skills and decisiveness are key as is the ability to document technical processes. You can intellectually evaluate feasibility, cost and speed of integrations to guarantee everybody ends up satisfied.
• Innovate simple solutions. From mockups to plugins, you have the basic coding skills to create the bridge between 3rd-party applications and our platform. You can confidently make software design decisions.
• Evolve with us. The landscape is being built under our feet as we move forward, so we need people who can channel their passion, learn quickly and navigate the unknown at top speed.
• Rock climb or rock out. With a Joe Rockheads across the street, most of our engineering team has a love for solving the puzzle of getting up the walls efficiently. There are also a shocking number of musicians floating around. We’re guessing it’s a precision art-perfectionist thing.

[Full-time] Full-stack Engineer at Routific

2018-02-07 17:19:55

Location: Vancouver
URL: https://routific.com/

Description:

Routific is a best practices-driven engineering team (committed to continuous deployment, continuous integration, automated testing, etc), looking for exceptional, startup-minded developers to join our growing team.

If you want to experience what it’s like working with a tight team of entrepreneurs, and you’d like to maximize the pace of personal development, Routific might be the place for you to jump-start your career.

Our office is located at the heart of Vancouver downtown, in the iconic Harbour Centre. We believe that employee happiness will lead to team productivity. Company perks include: generous extended health benefits plan, free gym membership, top-of-the-line Apple hardware, electric sit/standing desks, and the state-of-the art Herman Miller Aeron chairs – remastered and fully loaded, ftw!

As the ideal candidate, you:

Code for fun and are a true hacker at heart
Love to learn. And you pick up new languages/concepts hyper-fast
Have a strong grasp of CS fundamentals and design patterns
Are excited about working with a passionate and fast-paced team, taking on significant responsibilities
Take true ownership of your code that is being used by real businesses in the real world.

Bonus Points

Passion for super-clean code
Prior experience with startups
Familiarity and comfort with Git and GitHub
Prefers a data-driven environment as opposed to an opinion-driven one

Skills
Javascript, Node.js, Coffeescript, Angular.JS, Algorithms & Data Structures

Compensation
$72K – $86K
0.05% – 0.1%

What We’re Building
We have built a route optimization platform and industry-leading API that empowers last-mile delivery businesses to work smarter and more efficiently, saving up to 40% in driving time and fuel consumption.

Routing is one of the most complex problems in Computer Science. Our founder, Marc Kuo, wrote his thesis on advanced route optimization algorithms and developed the proprietary routing engine that powers Routific.

Manual route planning is an epic waste of precious time, money and resources. Businesses are unable to deliver to their customers on time, and their growth and profit margins are bottlenecked because of poor logistics. Business owners and fleet managers struggle for hours when planning daily routes. Some use pen and paper, while others use spreadsheets or hire dispatchers. Routific changes this.
