Company: Strong Suit

Location: Evanston, IL

Description:

You speak Java or PHP, but do you speak our language?

Do you love a good tech conference? Are you a regular at Apple’s WWDC or at Microsoft’s PDC? If you don’t see yourself suiting up for a Fortune 500 company, but you’re not ready to give up on the idea of designing and building large scale enterprise systems, “hot start-up” may be the words you’ve been waiting to hear.

Strong Suit, a fitting name for a company dedicated to excel.

Growing a recruiting firm from the ground-up can look messy. But there’s nothing unfocused about the way we’re transforming the art of recruiting. Fast paced, well funded and technology driven, Strong Suit doesn’t toss out a random net. We leverage experience, long-term business relationships and the latest technologies to identify the right candidates for our corporate clients. In fact, we have so much confidence in our process that each candidate we place comes with a guarantee.

They say the best developers are seldom on the market.

They serve as the engine of innovation. The interpreters of vision. And because the developers we hire will be tasked with solving big data problems, the kind that typically reside in large enterprise environments, we’ve set our sights on finding the best. So if you’ve been programming since you were seven, if you were an early adopter on tools like Ruby and Python, and if the idea of building your own community sounds like the challenge you’ve been waiting for, Strong Suit could be the perfect fit.

We’re in building mode.

On a steady growth trajectory, we are designing operational systems and building a team of software developers who will report to the CIO. Successful candidates will include people who can demonstrate experience with: Java, SQL databases, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Ajax/Javascript, MVC Frameworks and Objective C. We are not looking for one person with expertise in all these technologies, but rather to build a team of experts which complement each other. We’ll hire you because you have the mental agility to learn new programs quickly and can impress us with your mastery of logic.

Bring it.

Passion is a prerequisite for a developer. And at Strong Suit, you’ll have plenty of motivation. Our projects include: CRM, collaborative web, rules engines, semantic technologies, workflow management, development of customized tools, integration and customization of open source technologies, development of Mac applications and integration technologies. So bring your enthusiasm, your curiosity and your relentless dedication to getting it right. Bring your sense of humor and your “no obstacle is too big” work ethic. Blow us away with your adaptability and grasp of ideas—spoken and coded. And we’ll reward your efforts.

Be the “me” in team.

The people we hire will be integral to our continued growth and success. In return, you’ll be eligible for our benefits, a 401K plan, plus you’ll have access to the tools and training you need to develop your career. If being part of a small team tackling big scale problems with cutting-edge technologies is a language you understand, tell us more about yourself.
