• Our software stack leans heavily on JSON, HTML5 and Javascript. We extensively use Backbone & React in the frontend, connected to a Python/Django backend, with MySQL and Mongo for persistence. Our hybrid iOS and Android apps are also fully written with HTML and Javascript to round out our end-to-end JSON based stack.
• The Zenput Core Platform teams own the full-stack web application that powers our customer experience across web and mobile devices. Everything from APIs to storage indexes to IE quirks, unit tests to integration tests, and greenfield features to spelunking in legacy code.

• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and associated tools & principles
• MySQL/Postgres/RDBMS experience. (Just using ORM's doesn't count)
• Ability to design and implement the right technical solution for the right problem at the right time (i.e. you don't over-engineer, but you do thoroughly consider the constraints)
• Someone fun, interesting, and likes to build and hack. Not just software!

• Specific experience with our tech (React, Django, Javascript, Python, NoSQL, Mobile Development, AWS)
