Calling all Silverlight and dojo gurus: Hiring again

May 11, 2009 by homebrutrout

That’s right, DTSAgile is again looking to expand our team building next generation RIAs and GeoWeb applications in our Fort Collins, CO office.

As we have a backlog of projects that use diverse technologies, we’re looking for an excellent developer with one of the following skill sets.

SL, EF, ADO.NET Data Services

If you have bona fide project level experience with Silverlight 2, Entity Framework, and ADO.NET Data Services or NHibernate, DTSAgile wants to talk to you.  We are not looking for an entry level developer or someone who can learn on the job, we are seeking developers who have real world experience implementing this technology stack.  We’re looking for someone who can make an immediate impact, show us how this stack should be implemented, and tell us how to avoid the pitfalls.

JavaScript, Dojo, CSS, etc.

Alternatively, if you have mastered the zen of dojo, JavaScript, CSS and all things client-side we’d also like to receive your resume and review your credentials.  Actual project experience implementing mapping technologies using ESRI’s JavaScript API including the starter kit will be reviewed favorably. Again, we’re not looking for entry level folks here…you’ll be asked to come in and put fingers to the keyboard relatively quickly out of the gate and show us what you’ve got.

Other fun stuff you should grok

  • Agility. No, you don’t have to do backflips or crazy stretches in an interview setting. As our name implies, we’re a group of consultants pretty committed to Agile processes on our projects.  At minimum you should have some background knowledge regarding Agile and an interest in working on an Agile team
  • Favorite patterns. ASP.NET MVC is high on our list of happy shiny things that we like to work with.  Many of our projects are and will continue to be architected with ASP.NET MVC in the mix.  Real world project experience with it will be be reviewed favorably.
  • Unit testing.  We’re big on tests…lot’s of ‘em.  Some of our projects are run in TDD fashion while others have a test-late lifecycle.  Regardless, we unit test everything that goes out the door thoroughly.  NUnit, MBUnit, TestDriven.net, mocking frameworks such as Rhino mocks, and IoC/DI principles should all be on your resume.
  • The Geo.  We primarily target mapping related projects so exposure to GIS, the GeoWeb, etc. in the form of the ESRI product stack, VE, Google Maps, Open Layers, Geoserver, Mapserver, PostGIS, etc. will be viewed favorably but is not required.
  • Information exchange and social networking.  We’re software architects and developers, and we’re also bloggers, presenters, and participants in growing social networks.  Run a blog? Participate in Twitter? Grasp the finer points of presentation zen and really good Powerpoint? Great, you’ll fit in just fine.

Still interested?  Drop a line to myself or Dave and we’ll have a gander at your qualifications and see if you might be a fit for our current needs.
