Vet's First Choice | Lead Developer | Portland, Maine | ONSITE | Full-time
I'm the software developer manager for this team and I'm looking to hire a lead dev. We are mostly tech agnostic in our lead positions because we believe leadership is less about tech skill set and more about leadership skills. That said here is a list of tech the team regularly uses and works on: Legacy stack: php, Java Spring, mysql, sqs, elastic search, redis, Angular 
New app stack: Scala, node.js, kafka, Spark, mysql, redis, DynamoDB, mysql, React/Redux, Java
This position is mostly aimed at the new stack but will need to interact and fix the old stack from time to time.
Feel free to reach out to me with questions scampbell at vetsfirstchoice . com
While we do regularly work remotely we do require that you are in the Portland Area and most days in the office.
