We're on a mission to de-stigmatize seeking therapy and counseling using technology for the Facebook generation. Everyone has problems; not everyone has access to help.
TalkSession is reinnovating the way we interact with mental health professionals in order to make help more accessible, and more applicable to today's society. We are a company with a mission to do well, while doing good. We are looking for a dynamic hacker to work with our small team in Manhattan, who wants a challenge.<p>RESPONSIBILITIES<p>+ Build the core software foundation and user-facing SaaS experience<p>+ Build and develop key back-end components in Ruby on Rails<p>+ Implement user experience design, front-end JavaScript development, HTML 5, CSS 3<p>+ Build database and matching algorithms for patients and providers<p>+ Prototype and deliver unique solutions to challenging customer problems<p>EXPERIENCE<p>+ BS in Computer Science or equivalent proven outside experience (links to github/bitbucket would be great!)<p>+ Expertise in Ruby on Rails (3 years plus)<p>+ Experience with databases (PostgreSQL preferred)<p>+ Experience with modern development practices (agile, TDD, etc)<p>+ Full stack web database experience (we're on Postgres with some Redis caching)<p>Why us?<p>We work hard and make our employee's owners.
