Kennett Square, PA :: 
Chatham Financial :: recruiting _at_ chathamfinancial _dot_ com
Who do we want?
- We want to hire full-time people passionate about software development and testing; who care about building and maintaining top-notch infrastructure, services, and UIs.
- If you're not already well-versed with the tools we use, no worries! We hire people, not 'X years in Y language/technology'
What do we do?
- The domain happens to be the financial industry (namely mitigating Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange risk). It's a casual work environment, and we work with the advisory side of the business as our primary 'customers' (they are experts in the area of finance we serve).

How do we do it?
- Web and service development: the language we typically use is C#, but we always seek to choose the right tool for the job.
- Testing: we have a large automated test suite in BPT, and are developing an in-house services testing framework in Ruby (which will likely be open sourced)
- Other languages/technologies that we utilize are: Rabbit MQ, Node.js, AWS
- We continuously integrate using TeamCity, focus on agile and lean developement practices (scrum), and deploy all of our software to production every 2 weeks.

Other misc. info
- Every 3 months we have a Hack Week. It's a week to work on ideas that we wouldn't normally have time for in the 'daily grind'. These can be anything from trying out a new language or technology to refactoring existing stuff. You choose!
- Very family friendly
- Philosophy-driven, not policy-driven (let's get paid to work together and solve problems, and have fun all the while!)
