We're a new team trying to use the best tools and techniques to move forward the state of the art in software development while making innovative software services to improve patient health and reduce healthcare costs. We respect each other. We work in small batches. We max out the RAM in our laptops. We drink coffee on Monday mornings and classic cocktails on Friday afternoons. We try to be cutting edge without getting caught up in meaningless buzzwords and flaky vaporware. We use effective methodologies without being dogmatic or cargo-culty.
What are we looking for?
That depends. What do you have to bring? We're staffing up an entirely new team with a flexible and changing set of technologies, so we're not rigid in specific job requirements. We just want talented people who care about making great software in an enjoyable and sustainable way. If that's you, please email westlake.robots@gmail.com or contact me directly. Contact info is in my profile.
Where are we?
Our office is in Seattle. As the team is still forming, we're hesitant to add the extra complexity of working with non-local talent at this time. My hope is that we'll eventually become a geographically dispersed team, but we're limiting our search to local talent right now. I have no idea if we can provide relocation assistance, but if you're thinking of moving out here, let me know.
We have a very small recruiting web site up at http://www.westlakerobotics.com I'm a little unsure about which details are OK with me to share, as I'm a coder, not a recruiter, but here's some more stuff:
We're a new (~3 month old) development lab of a well established company in the healthcare information / transaction processing space. Sort of skunk-works, sort of pilot program. We're supported by the "mother ship", but we're building both the software and the team from the ground up.
We chose "robotics" as a guiding metaphor for our strong focus on build/test/deploy/monitor automation.
We're using Amazon Web Services and open-source tools (Java, Gradle, Spring Framework) wherever possible.
