Inventive - Austin, TX  | Contract or W2 Full Time

 

You’ve taken apart every product in your house, haven’t you? 

Yeah, you’re definitely an engineer.  While others may Netflix and Chill, you want to know how the screen it’s on actually works in the first place! 

What’s great is that Inventive celebrates curiosity and intelligence; being surrounded by natural engineers only makes us better.  We are a team that respects and values a diversity of thought and we all aim to create an energizing workplace that brings out the best in all of us.

To respect your time and interest, our interview process is three simple steps: 

1. 10-minute one-way video interview via Spark Hire
2. 30-minute call with Recruiting Lead
3. 30-minute Zoom with COO (and former VP of Engineering)
4. 30-minute Zoom with our Engineering Manager
5. 30-minute Zoom with our Founder

Challenges and Opportunities 

Getting shit done, brilliantly isn’t just a cheeky tagline. We love to roll up our sleeves, constantly iterate, and stay focused on the work that matters.  We say what we mean, so get prepared to jump on board and trust your gut when it comes to GSD - let’s rock it out!  

Here, you’ll collaborate with a team of engineers, project managers, and designers; and directly with our clients. We build real-world applications for our Inventive Works clients, Inventive Ventures partners, as well as charities and non-profits that Inventive Cares supports. 

As a valued member of our team, you’ll be hands-on with each phase of the software development life cycle, including analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and documentation. You’ll follow guidelines and IP procedures, and may even serve as a lead! 

When programming, you don’t view working both fast and right as trade-offs.  You understand when things require precision and accuracy as well as where 80% gets you to the desired outcome.  You share valuable demos without losing weeks of time. 

When collaborating with the team in activities like daily standups, sprint planning, and deploying features in production, you check your ego at the door.  You are only interested in finding the right answer versus always having the right answer.
