Contract Software Developer

Software developers at Campspot work on small agile teams to build our products. Campspot developers are truly full stack, working on both front and back end code, as well as managing the whole lifecycle of a feature from planning through delivery.

Campspot is built on a modern tech stack using the latest versions of Java and Kotlin on our backend with the Dropwizard framework, and TypeScript on our frontend using Angular. Our products are SAAS applications that run on AWS cloud infrastructure and we use modern tools like Terraform to manage that. We believe that skilled developers can be successful in any tech stack and set our expectations for ramp up time accordingly, but having experience in any of the technology above is a big plus.

Development at Campspot is heavy on collaboration. Developers are expected to collaborate with each other via technical design meetings, pair programming, and code reviews. Developers also collaborate directly with our product managers to scope, refine, and test features. Lastly, developers need to collaborate with our designers to create solid UX for new features in our app.

Automated testing is another key skill for developers at Campspot. All new code coming into our application is expected to have unit and integration tests written for it. We utilize automated CI builds to ensure that our app builds correctly and all of our tests pass.
