Any gaps in the project approach are the responsibility of the PM to fill.\n\n\nA PM accepts that they are empowered to find ways to deliver a project on time and on budget.

The PM is responsible for knowing how the project will be executed, what the effort entails in terms of hours and resources, and how it maps to the overall project schedule.\n* The PM is also responsible for working with the team to ensure that the approach keeps the project within budget and ensures profitability. The PM carefully manages scope and is able to rein in client requests that are out of scope or get agreement in issuing a change order.

Must also surface any risks quickly and escalate to the right people.\n* Clear and detailed written communication especially in tickets for the team and in correspondence with clients.\n* Unacceptable PM behaviors that signal underperformance:\n* Inability to take the lead in developing a cohesive project plan, including the technical aspects. Not being proactive in bringing in the necessary subject matter experts to detail out an approach.\n* Delays and lack of urgency in creating project schedules and providing clear direction to the team on priority actions.\n* Not taking responsibility for project delays or budget overruns, quick to blame external circumstances. External circumstances may indeed impact the project, but the PM must still take ownership and present solutions to keep moving forward.\n* Being inflexible with process and approach even as scope and variables change.\n* Disorganized and lacking personal systems to manage flow of communication, tasks, and knowledge to ensure project success. Clear sign is when details are missed or communication is slow and unresponsive, especially to team members who need guidance and to clients who need status updates.\n* PM seniority levels are determined by:\n* Skill and experience navigating complex problems and high stakes projects.\n* Track record of having successfully delivered projects on time and on budget.\n* Degree of comfort managing technical scopes and being able to interface at a technical level with other team members. This means being able to understand and stress test certain solutions versus being a messenger.\n\n\n\n\n\nBarrel offers competitive compensation, paid vacation, half-day Fridays all year round, remote home setup stipend, profit sharing, and a professional development stipend. Most importantly, we work on projects that truly impact our clients’ businesses and attract team members who love to be challenged with tough problems and fast-paced work.\n\n\nTo Apply\nTo apply, please fill out our online application form below.

You'll form a key part of a team of developers building backend services to support our SaaS eCommerce platforms.\n\nYou start your day in a team Stand Up discussing progress you made yesterday, listening to your team members describe their current issues and dropping some knowledge bombs on how you “solved this last time”. You’re working from home today, so you pay the pet tax and encourage your four-legged-friend wave to the camera before logging off.\n\nFirst up you’ve got a pair-programming session with a Junior Developer in your team to help them through a tough ERP integration that they’ve been working on. They’ve been steadily improving under your experienced wing and are turning into a really productive team member.\n\nAfter lunch you’ll set your Slack status and turn on Do Not Disturb for a couple of hours while you debug a weird issue with a customer’s site. There’s been a change to the out of stock logic recently to support multiple warehouses. You update your unit test suite to cover this unexpected scenario and tell the Project Manager the good news! You push your feature branch to Bitbucket and watch Bitbucket Pipelines build your artifact and prove that your tests pass.\n\nYour JIRA issue has automatically transitioned to “In Code Review” and you open your pull request, studying your diff carefully before assigning it to your team mate for a sanity check.\n\nTomorrow (assuming all is well!) you’ll merge your pull request into a release branch and let Pipelines deploy it to Staging where it will be regression tested by the QA Team and their bank of automated tests. It should be out to Production by the end of the week, providing we can get through the testing and get client sign off by 2pm on Thursday.\n\n**If you read this and it sounds like your ideal job — we want you on the team!**\n\n## What you'll be doing\nThe following should give you an idea of how you’ll be expected to typically be spending your time.

Use this time to try that tool you read about and see if it’s worthy of being a part of our toolchain.\n\n#### Personal Development (10%)\n\nKeeping up with new software releases, development practices, horror stories and post mortems are an essential part of any Software Developer’s time!
