Toronto,ON. Onsite
Top Hat is looking for hardcore engineers to help build our cutting edge education platform that students all over the world use in class. Does doin’ your thing in Django take you to your happy place? Does coding in JavaScript feel better than Christmas morning? Read on, you Maniac Hack. Read on.
Our client side app is built on a fairly sophisticated JavaScript framework and makes use of JQuery, backbone.js and all the usual suspects. The server side is written in Python on Django, with a MySQL database. In addition we use Node.js and SockJS for our real time components. Our systems all run on Amazon Web Services.
You will be will be working a variety of projects relating to our flagship web application. These will include frontend MVC application design and development, DOM optimization, and scalable and modular HTML/CSS . In terms of backend development, you will be working on our Django application and creating lightning fast REST APIs.
We like to hire developers who have solid full stack experience but definitely value, and accommodate, developers who choose to be more focused on either front-end and back-end development.
You should be comfortable with most of the following:
Semantic HTML and HTML5 concepts
CSS 3.0
JavaScript
Git
Automated unit and integration testing
HTTP
REST APIs
Databases (Hopefully including query performance and optimization)
We think the best sign of a good developer is interesting projects they've done on their own time, not just things they were assigned by their boss or in university. So please showcase any cool side projects, open source contributions or community involvement.
