At UrbanTouch.com, we are building the next generation e-commerce platform that scales to tens of thousands of orders a day, is insanely fast, and makes the overall online shopping experience a breeze, so brick and mortar stores will finally become a thing of the past.

We are looking for exceptional programmers who can write code, and write it well (there is no QA team to fall back on!). We rarely do anything twice. We expect you to tinker, and we expect you to be the best.

Our backend will use node.js + mysql, our frontend will use javascript/jquery/html5, we need programmers who can think async, can code in callbacks, would test their own code and can wear multiple hats.

A cross-discipline mindset is a must.

You should be -

  • hands on with code in either of C, C++, Java, Javascript, Ruby or Python
  • experienced in programming in at least one dynamic language. Multi-programming-lingual is a must. The more the merrier
  • comfortable working in a *nix environment
  • eager to learn new tools, techniques, languages, and technologies
  • passionate about making a difference to the world
  • able to contribute to system architecture and design
  • able to debug non-trivial application code
  • able to write clear, concise source-code documentation, unit and integration tests
  • able to think beyond code to architecture and user experience
  • able to communicate and coordinate within a team

Nice but not required -

  • B.Tech in CS, with strong product development experience
  • prior experience with e-commerce or web application development
  • contributions to open-source projects
  • understanding of scope, closures, callbacks, prototypical inheritance, and asynchronous programming techniques
  • experience with node.js or core javascript (beyond form validation)
  • experience with mysql and/or nosql databases, memcached, nginx
  • experience with dynamic languages (Python, Ruby)
  • experience with git
  • familiarity with unit testing, integration testing, and test-driven development
  • experience with HTML5, CSS, JQuery, Web application development

Job Perks

  • Your own laptop
  • Free lunch and snacks
