We are now looking for another engineer to join our crew in the lighthouse - yes, we work in a lighthouse in Dublin, Ireland.
SENIOR ENGINEER - DUBLIN, IRELAND - [D4H] Technologies build multi-award winning emergency response team management software and have experienced rapid growth around the world. We are now looking for another team member to lead the implementation of a new software product we're building in our lighthouse - yes, we work in a lighthouse.
As our next hire you will be a senior player in our engineering team. You will be responsible for the execution of our new real-time emergency response software, "the most important innovation since the 2-way radio". As a [D4H] engineer, you'll solve the hardest problems in emergency response, and have the opportunity to influence the design of our international infrastructure, our technology choices, our policies and procedures, and how we interact with our customers around the world.
Ideal candidates should be passionate about technology and enjoy writing code daily. They should be comfortable with designing robust extensible systems, working with real-world end users, and be able to demonstrate a willingness to continually learn and keep their skills up to date.
Preference is given to those who can primarily work out of our offices in the Baily Lighthouse, Dublin 13, Ireland. Exceptional remote candidates may be considered.
Desired Skills & Experience
Ideally, javascript is required for the successful candidate to contribute to our codebase - you'll also be working in PHP and other languages. Framework knowledge is valuable, as is the ability to work without one. The ability to design, maintain and debug database schemas and queries is an advantage.
We expect you to have examples of past web applications and public repository accounts are looked favourably upon. You should be able to talk about these examples in detail and describe the design decisions, technologies used, mistakes made and lessons learnt. Particular emphasis is given to examples that demonstrate your strength in the above technical competencies.
Our Values
- Outcomes, not incomes: Success is measured by tangible human outcomes. We ship insanely great stuff and expect it to convert to insanely great outcomes.
- Connections, not transactions: We encourage networking, co-creation, and collaboration. We champion the front-line responder by providing an incredibly deep and engaging technology experience for them.
- Creativity, not productivity: We create new value, not shift around the old. We work out of an actual lighthouse in Dublin Bay - come and see our culture for yourself. Don't forget your camera - the sunrise over the bay is awesome.
- People, not product: We invest in people and always give real responsibility. Our weekly team sit-down is an open forum for sales, engineering, business, and international contacts to review and question the week's activities.
Company Description
[D4H] Technologies have developed a collaborative emergency response team management tool that helps record and analyze operations, members, equipment, and training. It replaces the widely-used paper and spreadsheet formats and automates the entry of information using internet-connected computers, laptops, and consumer smartphone devices.
The tool uses this data algorithmically to deliver reporting, team management and intelligent information to the field, and information on-demand. Where required, outputs can be formatted for passing on to governing and compliance authorities.
Through intelligent collation of the data from the 'front-line', [D4H] facilitates extensive analysis, monitoring and scheduling of training, targeting of resource allocation and cost control.
Applications
The position is now open for interviews and immediate start. Applicants should email an introduction to themselves, with any other considerations to robin.blandford@d4h.org using the subject line "Senior Software Engineer Application".
