Software Engineer

Oddball believes that the best products are built when engineers understand and value the things they are working on. We value learning, growth and the ability to make a big impact at a small company. We believe that we can make big changes happen and improve the daily lives of millions of people by bringing quality software to the federal space.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to help provide on call support to deploy hot fixes for our VA client. As an early hire on a small team, you'll have a huge stake in what we build and how we work.

What you'll be doing

Working hand in hand with other engineers developing and scaling a major application. Day to day work will involve writing code, developing tests, and debugging. As an engineer, you will be expected to give input on high-level architecture decisions and communicate those decisions to other developers on the team.

Requirements

• Provide customers with 24/7 after-hours on call support to incidents/outages, including weekends and holidays. 
• Troubleshoot and resolve errors, and develop hotfixes as needed.
• 3+ years of experience writing services in languages like Java, Rails and Javascript
• Experience working with VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC), building an API infrastructure that includes a Java-based Veterans Health Information System Technology Architecture integration. 
• The ability to write code that is a pleasure for other engineers to read and understand.
• The ability to speak and write in terms that non-developers can understand clearly, whether it be in a conference call, blog post or support email.
• The ability to keep cool under pressure as you provide first level support for a critical, high traffic application.

This is a salaried role. As part of your benefits package, Oddball provides a monthly continuing education stipend and a tech stipend.

Must be located within the United States.
