Software Developer II

We are looking for a Software Developer to be a key member of the team, contributing to the design and development of new features and enhancements that will be used by thousands of customers. Our team is small and fast moving so you should be as comfortable designing a new feature as you are writing and debugging code. You will work with a closely knit team of developers, analysts, designers, product managers and testers so excellent communication and interpersonal skills are a must.

 

We are reimagining the billing and payment customer experience and evolving the MyIDEXX platform to new heights. This is your chance to become part of our growing team of creative and talented individuals who are passionate about the customer experience.

The ideal candidate is a versatile Software Developer who enjoys tackling a wide variety of technical challenges and is comfortable working across different areas of the technology stack. While they may not be a specialist in any one area, they are adaptable, curious and have a solid understanding of software engineering principles. Using the latest technologies means they must be willing to continuously learn new things.

Location: See the location requirement below. This is not a remote role. We are looking for those preferably local to Maine, and also open to New Hampshire or Massachusetts.
