\nAbout this job\n\nJob type:Full-time Experience level:Mid-Level, Senior, Lead Role:Frontend Developer\n\nRemote details\n\nEmployer's note:We're looking for someone in the DC to Richmond, VA area-ish; however, we could live with the NE corridor-ish. More in the posting.\n\nTechnologies\n\nangularjs ruby vue.js react angular\n\nJob description\n\nAre you a versatile developer (frontend and backend) with a touch of UX designer who is obsessive about creating thoughtful software that improves someone’s day? If so, we’d love to chat with you about adding some firepower to our senior product team -- a team who is actively helping women’s health providers spend more quality time with patients by fundamentally re-imagining their daily digital workflows.  \n\n*** \nUpdate on 'Location' : So, while we do have the 'remote' flag on, we're *ideally* looking for someone in the Richmond, VA area-ish (think: 2 hour train ride, so DC to Raleigh to Charlottesville); however, we could live with the NE corridor-ish (think: <2 hour flight; our VP Engineering is near Boston), too. Our CEO works in an office in Arlington, VA, if you want to keep him company. Or, put another way: are you available to be in the Richmond, VA virtual office once every month-ish? Yeah, That'd be greaaaaaat... Don't forget the cover page on those TPS reports either.\n****\n\nIdeally you are as eager and passionate as we are about:\n\n\n* Crafting thoughtful user experiences that help people (in our case doctors, nurses, and medical assistants) make the best decisions possible while removing tedious BS from their daily workflow.\n\n\n\n* reducing the large amount of time that clinicians spend on documenting what they have already done (go ahead -- ask your doctor about how much they like their EHR (electronic health record) next time you’re sick)\n\n\n\n* re-imagining not only the traditional user experiences & workflow of EHRs, but also the medium through which the latest medical best practices can be actionably and seamlessly incorporated into delivering care.\n\n\n\n\nOK, you may not be super-passionate about these things right now (let’s face it -- medical workflows and “EHRs” sound pretty boring on paper), but you will be. Why? Because you’ll be building software that fixes INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING experiences for doctors.  And it’s incredibly satisfying to modernize, replace & improve outdated, problematic software.  It’s important. And you’ll be loved/adored for it.  (And once you see the way this stuff is currently done, you’ll be left scratching your head or otherwise disappointed)\n\nA little about us...\n\nWe’re a small-but-mighty with funding and a strategic partnership with the most influential voice in women’s health: the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG).\n\nOur mission is to remove the digital roadblocks that interfere with healthcare providers’ ability to spend quality time with patients (Oh, and we try to help them make better decisions along the way as well).\n\n...A Lot About You\n\nIdeally, you are a multitalented wunderkind who runs circles around each of the below bullet points, but let’s be real: while some of these are must-have, many are wish-list.  We may have gotten a bit carried away with these, so if feel your unique combination of skills is close-ish to the mark, don’t hesitate to reach out. In fact, do so enthusiastically.\n\n\n* ...you’re a software craftsperson with a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality -- there’s a lot of thoughtful, nuanced, nitty gritty work to get done.\n\n\n\n\n\n* … you have “X years of experience”  Pshaw. We aren’t big on formal requirements in the credentials department; rather, we want to see what you’ve worked on.  Show us a project you’re proud of that you shipped and we’ll start the conversation from there. But let’s not kid ourselves -- you should absolutely come without training wheels.\n\n\n\n\n\n* ... you are comfortable shifting gears between front-end Javascript and back-end Ruby-on-Rails when you need to… We have some folks who are stronger on the front end and some folks who are stronger on the back end.  Our ideal is someone who has excellent design sensibilities and a firm grasp of HTML5 / CSS / SASS, ui toolkits like bootstrap, but also can talk about and implement good APIs to talk to the front end and also write code to connect to other APIs from our backend.  \n\n\n\n\n\n* … you’re pretty opinionated about your design choices and can easily articulate/defend your design decisions/rationale when asked “Why did you <insert observation that challenges your design choice>?”\n\n\n\n\n\n* … you have solid AngularJS front-end development chops.  But, because you love javascript frameworks in general, you’ve played around with -- and probably are opinionated about -- other frameworks like Angular(7), React, and Vue.js.\n\n\n\n* ... you have solid Ruby on Rails development jobs.,  Or, because you love software development in general, you're not worried about picking it up because you have other back-end experience that translates.\n\n\n\n\n\n* ...you should be able to design, architect & implement solutions that reflect your particular problem-solving approach (...and you’ll probably be solving a problem that was based on a story that you yourself were instrumental in either eliciting or refining).\n\n\n\n* … you’re a natural Design Thinker.  Therefore, you’re good at leveraging your empathy to investigate both known and ambiguous aspects of a complex, convoluted story (lots of these in healthcare!) in order to discover hidden parameters and open alternative paths which may lead to the real story.  \n\n\n\n\n\n* …  you have an admirable understanding of the principles behind a good* RESTful API design.  (*But also know enough to not let perfect get in the way of the good)\n\n\n\n* … you’re comfortable/knowledgeable with git.  CI experience a bonus, but not required.\n\n\n\n* … you’ve worked at startups before or have always been looking for an excuse to.\n\n\n\n* … you work well in a loosely structured PM/Managerial environment (we’re agile with a “little a”)\n\n\n\n\nUs + You?\n\nAs the newest member our product team, you’ll be an integral part of every aspect of our business strategy, dev roadmap, technology architecture decisions, and, undoubtedly, will wear a lot of hats.  \n\nOnes of these hats -- in addition to your techie/design hats -- will almost certainly be the Customer Hat. At Dorsata, we are fervent (rabidly obsessive, really) believers in frequent, high-touch interactions with our involved, loyal customer base, who drives our roadmap.  As we've grown, developers are often removed from the day-to-day, but you should be the type of person who is able to empathize and ask good questions of customers.\n\nObligatory message:  If you're a third-party recruiter who is looking to send us resumes, please don't. We don't accept resumes from third-party recruiters. No, we're not interested in how Yet Another Recruiting company can help us make the world a better place, etc.; we already know good people who do that when we need to. (We're amazed at the number of random LinkedIn messages from recruiters we see, both on the hiring and job seeking side. Yes, you're great human beings, but please move along.)\n\nAbout Dorsata\n\nDorsata’s clinical workflow intelligence platform is designed to work both top of and inside of the existing electronic health records (EHRs) that our customers use. The ACOG Prenatal Record -- our flagship product for the Dorsata platform -- is an AngularJS/Rails SPA designed collaboratively with women’s health providers to support the way that they work & think -- not tell them how to work & think (or add additional clerical burdens to their already-busy day). We want practitioners of women’s health to feel like they are using a piece of software not only designed for them, but by them.  \n\nMore About Us :\n\nHow We Interview & Hire\n\nLike many of the other startups you are currently perusing on stackoverflow/angellist/hired/vettery/reddit/linkedIn/etc., our interview process begins with an intro call to help you learn more about the role, for us to hear more about you, and to help the two of us decide if Dorsata is a mutual fit. If we move forward, the next step will be a more in depth call with us that dives into some problem solving about healthcare.  Based on that problem solving exercise, we do a quick real-world based coding test to make sure you actually do know AngularJS (or React or Vue or AngularX) / what a computer is.\n\nWe're small, so we also like to have people talk to our CEO.\n\nBenefits / Perks / Comp\n\n\n* Health Insurance / Dental\n\n* Market salary + equity participation opportunity\n\n* We are remote first, though we do have some space in Arlington, VA.  If you like, go for an occasional stints in Antarctica, though we operate on the East Coast timezone and get together every 6 weeks in person.  Also, Antartica is cold.\n\n* Fun, friendly & delightfully BS-free work environment\n\n\n\n\nJoel Test\n\nSource control One-step build Daily builds Bug database Bugs fixed before writing new code Up-to-date schedule Specs Quiet working conditions Best tools that money can buy Testers Code screening Hallway usability testing \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Senior, Full Stack, React, JavaScript, CSS, Ruby, API, Medical and Non Tech jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

What you'll do\n\nYou'll collaborate to build, maintain and streamline our large application, working with Ruby, Rails, Postgres and more. Some examples of the work you'll be doing include the following:\n\ncontinually improving our fetching code, which grabs information about millions of properties throughout each day\nintegrating against a new REST api to give our customers even more info about a house\nmaking our mobile website a more pleasant experience\nrewriting a SQL query to be 100x faster\nYou'll have both the opportunity and the independence to tackle all kinds of challenges: some days you'll work on refactoring a legacy part of the app to make it do something new, and on others, you'll build a brand new, greenfield feature.\nYou\n\nYou care about both building and maintaining a clean, readable, well tested codebase. We're looking for someone with Ruby experience. We do Ruby, Rails, Postgres, plus JavaScript, CSS and HTML on the front end. We don't require you to know all of those, but you should be comfortable in Ruby, and familiar with Rails. You communicate and collaborate with the whole team, be it to work through tough code problems or clarify product specifications.\n\nAbout Us\nWe're a small team focused on opening up the old school real estate world.\nOur goal is to build the best place for people to browse, shop for, and buy homes.\nWe employ an iterative approach to building products and deploy multiple times a day.\nWe have a big vision.\nWe believe in hiring smart people and giving them the support and flexibility to succeed.\nIf you work locally, you'll be in a relaxed and fun office in the Belltown neighborhood.\nWe're looking to hire the best people wherever they are in the world. If you don't want to relocate to beautiful Seattle, you should be awesome at working from home and available to join our daily standup at 10am Pacific. Some developers live in Seattle and come into the Estately office, but the majority live and work remotely, including several who live outside of the United States. We've had remote developers since 2011, and are seasoned veterans of working with a distributed team, across multiple timezones.\n\nOur Hiring Process\n\nWe don't believe in algorithmic interviews under hostile conditions. We'll never ask you to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard or interview you with five interviewers at the same time. We like our recruiting process to be transparent to you. It roughly consists of the following steps:\n\nAn initial call between you and a member of our team\nWe'll tell you more about the work that you'd be doing, and why we think Estately is a great place to work. You'll have the opportunity to ask us lots of questions, too. We'll ask you about your experience and some technical questions, mostly to get a feel for where you're at as we move forward with the process.\n\nIndividual Exercise\nWe have a few practical challenges to assess technical knowledge. Over the course of a few hours, you'll be fixing a bug in our app (that we've previously fixed), so we can see how you approach solving a realistic problem.\n\nPairing on a Few Potential Features\nFinally, during the pairing exercises you'll pair with one of our developers to implement an (existing) feature in the app. This will take a couple hours or so, and will mostly consist of discussion about approach, with some coding in the midst of it.\n\nDiversity\n\nEstately seeks to increase the ratio of women and underrepresented minorities in software engineering and development, we encourage women and people from underrepresented groups to apply for this position.\n\nEstately is striving to be a diverse team, made of and built by people with different backgrounds and lifestyles. We don't discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, religion, color, or any other group. \n\nPlease mention the words **MATTER ORIENT MEDAL** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xOTg=). This is a feature to avoid spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they're human.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Ruby, Full Stack, Developer, Digital Nomad, CSS, HTML, API and Mobile jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
