We are looking for a software developer to join our team. Rustici Software makes eLearning standards based software. Our software is responsible for launching and tracking standards based online learning for millions of learners. You would join a team that develops software that integrates into other software products around the world. We are a remote/in-office hybrid company located in Franklin, TN. While we give preference to local candidates, we are open to qualified remote candidates residing in the United States.

The ideal candidate will be able to balance the competing priorities of producing quality code and solving customer problems quickly. We are not hung up on a particular amount or type of experience, but we are adamant about a particular level of skill and aptitude. The areas of expertise we value are in software development, communication, version control, and learning new technologies. Experience in specific languages is not crucial, but we look for developers that can code in more than one language. In our world today Java, JavaScript & .NET are the most common languages we use but there is no guarantee we'll use those languages for our next project.

• Java
• .NET
• JavaScript/TypeScript
• SQL (MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server)
• AWS
• Git

• Maintaining existing codebases: One or more software products and all of the ancillary tools needed to manage them. These are profitable products that have been around for 10+ years (and we expect to be around for 10+ more) and that our customers expect to work as well or better than they did last year or the year before or the year before that. There is technical debt to be paid, refinement to interfaces and implementations, bugs to squash, and processes to improve. QA is a forethought and a requirement, developing test code is just part of the work.
• Writing technical specifications for new work: Anytime we embark on larger features, we build out a technical specification, with the goal of expressing the work in English before we attempt to express it in code. We write technical specifications for the larger work we do.
• Taking new features from start to finish: We really value autonomy here at Rustici. Engineers pick up work that needs to be done and run with it until it has passed code reviews and QA.
• Identifying new work: We rely a lot on customer feedback for improvements and new features, but we rely on our engineers to listen to what customers want and provide them with what they need. We also don't expect all the answers to come from the top down, and will look to our engineers for ideas on what to work on next.
• Weekly standups: We try to keep meetings at a minimum. Each team meets once a week to discuss the work that happened last week, and what they expect to accomplish in the coming week.
• Play and compete: The day to day may vary, but almost everyone carves out a little time every day to play ping pong, crokinole, D&D, AmongUs, or whatever people are into at the time.

Every day, millions of people around the world access valuable learning and training content powered by Rustici Software's products. If you've ever taken an online course, there's a good chance our software was running behind the scenes. We specialize in helping software vendors and organizations solve problems specific to implementing eLearning standards, such as SCORM, xAPI and cmi5. Since 2002, we've been sharing our expertise with our customers and the industry by providing resources for creating, delivering and distributing eLearning content. We are proud to be known as the "SCORM folks," "eLearning nerds" and most recently, the learning industry into newer standards.
