AccuLynx is a fast-growing SaaS provider of CRM/project management software for roofing contractors. With more than 10 years in the business and impressive year-over-year growth, we have quickly established ourselves as the leading software product in this multi-billion dollar industry.

What will you do at AccuLynx?

• You will work independently within a smart and passionate team.
• You will build solutions to handle large data growth.
• You will establish best practices and a "paved path" for teams to work within.
• You will drive automations to accelerate delivery.
• You will learn and innovate.

It's not expected that any single candidate would have expertise across all of these areas. For instance, we have wonderful team members who are really focused on big data but didn't come in with as much container knowledge. We want learners and problem solvers across whatever area needs attention.

Recruitment Process:

We do not hire based on buzzwords or popular acronyms. We expect you to have mastered your domain and be eager to learn any technology or language in the future. We aim to reply to your application within a week of receiving it. Our interview process consists of several stages, each one allowing us to get to know you better, professionally and technically. It is also an opportunity for you to gain a better understanding of our culture and the work we do here at AccuLynx. The stages include:

• CV, open source code, or public portfolio review
• Phone interview
• Face to Face conversation with a few members of your team.
• Possibly a Tech Challenge - A take-home 4-8 hour real-world technical problem. Build something that meets a simple goal. It's not a stupid brain teaser or something requiring special knowledge.
