| Description: | As a Software Developer you are given the liberty of not only having one of the most flexible jobs in the company, but also one of the most exciting. You work in the fast-paced, Internet-driven industry where you are expected to eat, sleep, and dream about creating a better product. You work in a small team environment with some of the smartest developers in the country (at least we think) where creativity and hard work collide to produce cutting-edge web applications. We need you because your talent, hard work, and dedication allow us to produce technical designs, develop web-based software, implement test plans, and document products that are going to take us to the next level.
We compete in the same space as Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo because the work that you do allows us to. Your thoughts, ideas, input, and creativity are pushed to the limit because pushing past the boundaries of today's email hosting standards is the only way we're going to become #1. The pressure is on. Are you ready?
Your responsibilities to the customers (the people who pay us the big bucks) include:
* Thinking, creating, pushing farther, developing new products;
* Taking those products and making them bigger and better; and
* Helping to build the best email hosting system in the world.
Your responsibilities to your co-workers (the people pounding at your door) include:
* Educating the Customer Care and Sales Departments on new products and features;
* Answering questions from other employees about products; and
* Developing tools that will be utilized by departments such as Finance, Support, and Sales (depending on your position).
Important Skills and Characteristics:
* You should be able to switch easily between programming languages and have intimate knowledge of some of the following:
o Web Design: HTML, CSS, XML, AJAX, Javascript, Asp.net
o Languages: PHP, C#, C/C++, Java
o Databases: MySQL, SQL Server
You should also have a clear understanding of both Linux and Windows Operating Systems.
You're going to do just fine here if:
* You are passionate about our products and services as well as the projects we're working on;
* You are hardworking, self-motivated, and passionate about learning and working with the latest technologies;
* You love having to think outside the box to find solutions to problems;
* You're a team player who adapts quickly to the ever changing environment at Rackspace; and
* You want nothing more than to be part of one of the most exciting companies around.
