New Orleans - Full Stack Developer @ Carrollton (relocation assistance provided)
Carrollton is seeking a Full Stack Developer for full-time employment in the heart of downtown New Orleans. We are in the middle of expanding our talented development team to take on the growing number of projects coming through the door.
---A day in the life---
Coffee, nerf, and more coffee. At least once a week there are freshly baked goodies that will taunt you on your way to your desk in the bullpen. In the early morning there’s chatter, but then as the day progresses, it’s mostly headphones and HipChat. In between knocking out new features for a client, there are whiteboard sessions and strategy talks. When you need to clear your head, the New Orleans skyline surrounds you from almost every angle. However, you will feel the most liberated when you deploy, which typically leads to libations down at G & O. Fun and exciting projects are the future and are possible because of our roots.
