Kennett Square, PA :: Chatham Financial :: recruiting _at_ chathamfinancial _dot_ com

Who do we want?

- We want to hire full-time people passionate about software development and testing; who care about building and maintaining top-notch infrastructure, services, and UIs.

- If you're not already well-versed with the tools we use, no worries! We hire people, not 'X years in Y language/technology'

What do we do?

- The domain happens to be the financial industry (namely mitigating Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange risk). It's a casual work environment, and we work with the advisory side of the business as our primary 'customers' (they are experts in the area of finance we serve).

- Check out http://www.chathamfinancial.com for more info on the business side of things.

How do we do it?

- Web and service development: the language we typically use is C#, but we always seek to choose the right tool for the job.

- Testing: we have a large automated test suite in BPT, and are developing an in-house services testing framework in Ruby (which will likely be open sourced)

- Other languages/technologies that we utilize are: Rabbit MQ, Node.js, AWS

- We continuously integrate using TeamCity, focus on agile and lean developement practices (scrum), and deploy all of our software to production every 2 weeks. Check out http://intruthitsnotthatsimple.wordpress.com/ for one of our Product Owner's perspectives on things

Other misc. info

- Every 3 months we have a Hack Week. It's a week to work on ideas that we wouldn't normally have time for in the 'daily grind'. These can be anything from trying out a new language or technology to refactoring existing stuff. You choose!

- Very family friendly

- Philosophy-driven, not policy-driven (let's get paid to work together and solve problems, and have fun all the while!)
