Summary:

Yakabod, a web software and services company, is located in a beautifully restored facility in Frederick’s historic district. We’ve experienced steady growth since starting in 2001. We’ve set our hearts on building a great company. Now we’re looking for some great people to help fuel our growth. We need skilled web application developers to join our Application Factory team.

Responsibilities:

We’re still small, so you’ll do a bit of everything from integrating and supporting critical customer applications to creating new components in our core software products. Specifically, you can do many of the following with excellence:

• Lead, manage, and/or architect knowledge-based dynamic web applications
• Develop software using PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML, XML, AJAX and other web application environments (experience with J2EE or MS environments will be considered if you have demonstrated strong life cycle development and problem solving skills).
• Capture requirements, and then create use cases, specs, object-oriented design, user interfaces, and data models
• Execute disciplined development practices over a full life cycle
• Deploy, support, and maintain customer applications, including networks, Linux servers, development tools, and custom applications

Qualifications:

We’ll expect you to reliably “get things done” — you’re a self-motivated, entrepreneurial, problem solver who loves to build software that “works the way it ought to”. You thrive as part of a team that’s undertaking a bold adventure together. Most important, you resonate with our core values and culture. Experience in an early stage tech firm is desirable, but not required. An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is desirable, but not required. If you don’t have one, you must be willing to be submitted for clearance processing.
