Rally Software Development

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

Software Engineer - Raleigh
*Engineering | Raleigh, NC, United States*

Rally Software is creating revolutionary new user experiences that push 
the limits of current browser based technology. We are looking for 
passionate developers capable of working across our stack with strong 
experience in building robust, flexible, reports and features.

Sick of working on boring projects with lousy architectures you have no 
control over? Wish you had more say in what you work on and how?

Rally is hiring developers to work on our next generation of software 
development tools.

Here are the top 10 reasons developers choose to work at Rally:

   1. Hackathon - Every 8 weeks, Rally developers get a free week to
      work on whatever they want to help the business. This means that
      12.5% of your time is free for exploring new technologies and
      architectures. Several Hackathon projects have been integrated
      into the product and released, so you have a real opportunity to
      influence product direction.
   2. Influence - You are encouraged and empowered to make things
      better. The team owns all architectural and framework choices, so
      if anything is not working, you really can change it! Don't just
      put up with it, actually fix it, and you will have the support
      from your team and management to do so.
   3. No ruts - You'll have the opportunity to work across the stack
      (JavaScript, Java, REST, database, etc.) as well as provide input
      to which features should be developed.
   4. Collaboration - Our teams work closely together in an Agile/Lean
      style, enabling us to learn from everyone's experience rather than
      getting trapped in silos.
   5. Pace - Sustainable.
   6. No dress code - Please wear something.
   7. Career - Support for attending conferences, writing books,
      blogging and speaking.
   8. Beer - We have a kegerator, and know how to use it.
   9. Raleigh, North Carolina - There are precious few better places to
      live, and none on the East Coast. Plenty of days of sun, four
      seasons, beach, mountains, etc...
  10. Awards - Rally named the Best Company to Work For in Colorado for
      the last four years, and ranked a top ten Best Places to Work in
      the U.S. from Outside Magazine.  Our product has won numerous
      awards and was recently recognized by industry analyst Forester
      Research as 'offering the best combination of capability and
      strategy of Agile ALM tools'.


Ideal candidates will have experience in the following:

    * A history of successful delivery and career progression in
      software development.
    * Prior experience building scalable solutions.
    * Experience writing rich, browser based user interfaces
    * Grails / Groovy
    * MongoDB or similar NoSQL technology
    * Java
    * JavaScript (ExtJS a plus)
    * CSS
    * AJAX
    * Object-oriented design
    * Object/Relational Mapping
    * SQL and Relational database experience
    * The experience and skills to understand our entire scope of
      products and process.
    * A track record of collaboratively designing, developing and
      testing database driven web applications.
    * and crazy ping-pong skills wouldn't hurt.



Location: Raleigh, North Carolina (We will consider candidates who are 
seriously interested in relocating to the Raleigh area)

We are looking for people who are passionate about the software industry 
and want to work with the best and brightest. We value teamwork and the 
ability to make and meet commitments as well as skill and a successful 
track record. We strive for a healthy, productive work/life balance, 
while enjoying the opportunity to substantially contribute to the 
direction and success of a vibrant software business.

Rally offers excellent compensation, benefits, and stock options with an 
exceptional opportunity to grow.

If it sounds like you might thrive in an environment like this, we'd 
like to hear from you.
