More about working as a developer at PulsePoint:
We?re small enough you can own something and have a direct impact, but big enough that you don?t have to go it alone. We care deeply about quality and doing the right thing, but have a strong focus on business value and time to market ? and believe that focusing on the first part enables the second. Developers have technical management (who are technical and write code), as well as direct access to business, product, and operations (and they have access to us). Lastly, our Sr. Engineers have lots of empowerment and freedom of action (but we don?t water down our responsibilities or expectations)
Some tools we use: SVN, Maven, TeamCity, JIRA, Confluence, Crucible, Intellij
Some practices we?ve adopted: TDD/unit-testing, continuous integration, code-reviews, Scrum
Things we?re working on: cloud-computing, event-driven IO, self-healing systems, analytic databases
We like open source: Spring, Hadoop (we run the NYC Hadoop Meetup), Glassfish, Linux, Memcache
We have rules around meetings ? to keep them short and useful
Developers get fast boxes, with multiple monitors, and can choose Windows or Linux
We keep a library of technical books (several hundred) and haven?t had problems buying additions
We have the usual coffee, tea, sodas, snacks, socials and events
