TripCase / Sabre Holdings - Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas (Southlake)
TripCase is hiring for a few positions, and we're looking for Rails and JavaScript application devs.
TripCase is an app that helps you manage your travel itinerary. We notify you when your gate changes or when your flight is delayed, and provide helpful messages and tools during your trip.
Our tech stack: Ruby on Rails for the service layer and desktop app with RSpec and Capybara for testing. JavaScript/HTML5 for the mobile clients (Backbone.js, Require.js, PhoneGap, Grunt) with Jasmine for testing. Sass + Compass for styles.
How we work:
* Git has changed the way we work, and our development/deployment process is heavily influenced by it
* We're and Agile shop and pair pretty frequently and watch each other's backs
* Our product manager and designers are integrated on our teams
* Stories aren't done until they have automated test coverage
* Our Rails folks write mobile client code and vice versa
* We use Trello and Campfire to stay on top of things
* Our Joel on Software test score is about 11.
* Test-driven development
* Macs
Some things we have on our plate:
* Automated CSS tests (with Sass + Compass making it so easy to refactor and author CSS, it's also super easy to break stuff. We are getting tired of ⌘+R all day)
* Automate all the things
* Automated/continuous iOS and Android builds
* Vagrant VMs with Chef Solo for development
