DUBLIN, IRELAND - [D4H] Technologies build multi-award winning emergency response team management software and have experienced rapid growth around the world. Our international operation has had particular success in Oil & Gas, Coast Guard, Pharmaceutical, Emergency Management, and Local Government - we are firmly committed to growing our team size. We are now looking for another team member to join our crew in the lighthouse - yes, we work in a lighthouse.
As our next hire you will be part of our engineering team with a wide range of responsibilities and challenges. You will work closely with the rest of the team on all aspects of our new product development. As a [D4H] engineer you will 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 as part of a technical team, assisting 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
PHP is necessary for the successful candidate to contribute to our large PHP codebase. Framework knowledge is valuable, as is the ability to work without one. Our primary datastore is MySQL and the ability to design, maintain and debug schemas and queries is an advantage.
We use jQuery and Knockout.js on the front end, but all experience with Javascript is valued. Other technologies you will be exposed to at [D4H] are Redis for job queuing and message passing, Apache, Git as source control, and our production servers are based on CentOS. We have new products currently undergoing rapid development that use a number of technologies such as HTML5 technologies including WebSockets, IndexedDB and AppCache.
We expect you to have examples of past web applications and Github 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.
