Q/A
The role looks like a combination of a full stack developer & Linux administration?
- They won t need to be Linux admins, they should have general knowledge of administration skills so that when clusters are deployed, they can debug
For front end technologies mentioned, Angular & React, is one used more than the other?
- They re used 50/50
- Ansible skills will also be preferred as the process will need to be automated
What is the primary language on the backend?
- Node & then Postgres is used to enter the data into the database
- RDBMS skills will be major help; they don't need to start anything from scratch we already have an application it's already developed but we have few backlog tasks and support
- we want the person to be helpful in coding and in supporting the whole thing
Location Preference and Hybrid Schedule
- Raleigh NC preferred to come into the Tower a couple times/week
Extension & Long Term Goals
- High chance of extension with contract to hire being a possibility as well. That said, only green card holders & US citizens should be considered
Interview Process
