Front-end and back-end coding languages, development frameworks and third-party libraries
Description
Are you a seasoned software connoisseur that thrives in an Agile development environment? Are you comfortable around both front-end and back-end coding languages, development frameworks and third-party libraries?
Do you have big ideas, an open mind and an interest in residential real estate? Do you love to learn, grow and be challenged, but can also remain calm under pressure? Would you describe yourself as driven, yet humble?
If so, you could be NDG’s next Full Stack Developer.
And in addition to joining our talented and dynamic team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with some of the nation’s leading home builders and developers.
At NDG, we believe that home buyers need a trusted guide to truly help them navigate their new home search, which is often stressful and crowded with choices, competition and noise. So we innovate effective marketing strategies that challenge our clients — and ourselves — to better serve today’s home buyer, as their guide, because helping people find their dream home means we are helping them improve their life.
Whether you choose to work remotely or via our corporate offices (it’s your choice), you’ll be part of our talented team that’s responsible for the full software development life cycle, from conception to deployment. Alongside the Digital Marketing, Creative and Account Service teams, you’ll collaborate to produce scalable software solutions that are vital to our client’s business goals.
If you’re interested in engineering new software solutions for clients in a life-changing industry — as well as being part of a service-minded team that never settles for average — this could be the place for you. Let’s talk.
