Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time positions as software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- We aren't limited to any really specific set of technologies, which is a great
opportunity to learn. In the past year, I've worked with Objective-C (and Swift),
Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap), Angular.js, QT Node.js, and of course Ruby.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

- We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us access
to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- Low cost of living. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

- A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. You have some experience with web or mobile technologies.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:

Resume: http://chrismorgan.info/resume.html

Email: me@chrismorgan.info

I enjoy work at all levels; backend, frontend, precise usability details, deep in the bowels of algorithms, metaprogramming where reasonable, web and non-web (but mostly web)—it’s all great fun.

I’m very much interested in improving the state of web development, something I’m pursuing in my spare time and why I’m using Rust; I’m speaking at Strange Loop later this year on the topic: https://thestrangeloop.com/sessions/fast-secure-safe-the-web.... With my goals in this way, I’m very much interested in learning new tools and new paradigms.

If you happen to be interested in talking to me in person, I’m planning to be in SF later this month and probably for a few days after Strange Loop (mid–September).

We use GitHub for version control and our infrastructure is entirely hosted via cloud services. We care about keeping our libraries up-to-date and test coverage. While most of our stack is on Rails today, we're comfortable with other technologies and always strive to use the right tool for the job.

This is a full-time position at our headquarters in Dallas, TX and includes a competitive base salary, a full range of benefits, stock options, and an awesome team of creative people by your side.

## Requirements

- Passion for developing excellent software and an appreciation for elegant code

- Strong understanding of web services and REST concepts

- Strong understanding of relational databases including complex queries and optimization

- Experience writing object-oriented software guided by tests

- Strong understanding of performance optimization and caching techniques

- Being comfortable in a polyglot environment a plus

- Open source project contributions a plus

- Ability to play "Careless Whisper" on saxophone a plus

- Strong written and verbal communication skills

Now my personal comments :)

Emphasis on C or C++ is a good thing; the core software is written in C++ and we do a lot of linux kernel work. This is the most sophisticated product I've ever worked on; we have a combination of cutting edge software design, truly awesome features to get the most out of our flash, and a dedication to data integrity that cannot be matched.
Much of the reasons for PHP being stringly typed are historical. For example, extremely old database drivers used to stringify everything so you didn't get individually-typed columns. An HTTP request, specifically an encoded GET or POST, all values from the browser are strings. A file system is a stream of bytes, but many common web file formats stringify all values (JSON, XML, INI, etc).

> Strings are an implementation detail which should be abstracted over.

That's exactly what PHP does -- PHP doesn't care what representation a value has. But that is also then the source of it's strangeness.

## About Us ##

Citrine Informatics is dedicated to solving one of the greatest scientific & economic challenges facing society today: How to rapidly invent and manufacture novel materials with desired properties. Our approach is unique in the materials industry: Instead of building traditional research labs and factories, we are an all-software company that aggregates huge quantities of materials data and uses these data to develop machine learning models of materials behavior. These models then guide our partners in academia and industry toward blockbuster materials. We aim to make breakthrough discoveries in areas ranging from energy (batteries, photovoltaics) to aerospace (superalloys, heat shields) to electronics (screen coatings, transparent conductors).

## Key Skills ##

You are someone who loves science, remembers more than a little bit of high school chemistry and beyond, is hungry to solve really hard problems across data mining, scientific computing, and understanding experimental scientific information. We use C++, Java, Python, Ruby, and any other tools we can get our hands on to solve the problems we encounter, so we want you to be hungry and flexible.

## Why Citrine ##

- Change the world through materials that enable amazing products people use every day

Email: wi.is.cold@gmail.com

I'm a software engineering generalist, but my skills run pretty deep in both systems engineering and embedded programming. I'm comfortable working at any level from handful-of-KB bare-metal microcontrollers to Linux kernel drivers to complex multithreaded application design, and I enjoy the variety of working in multiple domains.

My most extensive experience is in block storage peripherals. I've written drivers for a variety of storage protocols and I've designed and built the software architecture for products that move data from storage device A to storage device B at improbably high speeds. But I'm not really looking to get pinned down as a "block storage guy," and would prefer to branch out in a different direction and learn some new technologies along the way. Maybe you have something interesting?

I'm not really looking for yet-another-web-startup opportunities. An attractive position will have challenging problems to solve, a meaningful product to deliver, and a team of smart engineers getting it done. It might involve a physical hardware component, but that's not a requirement. If you are building something on a Node stack, you should be prepared for me to not take you seriously.

Bonus points for use of functional programming languages with strong static type systems.

I struggle myself with why I think I have to be a programmer. More and more I feel like "what am I trying to prove?" when I suffer from the same nagging imposter syndrome and self doubt. If you don't like it as much, don't do it. Go for what makes you happy, relaxed, and fulfilled. Not what you think you should be doing. I'm sure you'll end up with something that takes advantage of your existing skills with software and your aspirations to work more with your hands.
