Web Application Engineer-TripIt

TripIt is a next generation travel site founded by experienced online travel executives and entrepreneurs. We are venture backed and are moving quickly to tackle the largest category on the Internet (travel). The site launched to the public in September as a TechCrunch 40 finalist and has since gone on to be a Web 2.0 Summit Launchpad finalist.

If you are interested in travel, love writing code, and solving hard technical problems with a highly experienced team of talented and friendly engineers that keep development moving at a high rate of speed, we want to talk to you!

The position involves the development of TripIt's core web application. We're looking for an engineer who has a good sense of product design, experience in web application development (we use PHP for the backend), has solid development habits (e.g. unit testing, technical design documentation, etc...), has solid experience with frontend web technologies (HTML, CSS, and Javascript), and is not afraid to dive into new and unfamiliar technologies.

• At least 3-4 years of prior software development experience
• Strong understanding of web and web-related technologies
• Server-side application development in PHP, Python, Perl, or Ruby
