ABC TECH IS HIRING

Job - Senior Data Developer

We are looking for a Senior Developer to join one of our development teams here in Bangkok.

The role

You would be a central part of one of our cross-functional, internationally distributed teams. We expect our seniors to show direction in choice of technology and application architecture. A vital part of a team's success is that everyone contributes, which means senior developers have a responsibility to help more junior developers progress.

We encourage and expect our developers to contribute back to the open source community. ABC Tech developers have created and maintained several open source projects, and supplied numerous patches to others.

This particular position is very data-focused, and a strong sense for data quality is a must. We gather data from many sources, and we need those sources to match up.

Who are you?

Successful candidates usually have several of these key abilities:

Knows more than one programming language
Knows at least one dynamic language
Good communication skills
Good command of the English language
Ability to help others
At least 5 years experience doing software development on a daily basis
Open source contributions (like a github or bitbucket account with some repos, a CPAN profile page or some references)

Who are we?

ABC Tech, part of the Telenor Group, is a subsidiary of ABC Startsiden and Amedia, two mature (15+ years) Norwegian web development companies who are at the forefront of web development in Norway. ABC Tech has since 2010 developed products in close collaboration with both parent companies.

Our offices are located at Exchange Tower, which sits right on the corner of Asoke. Skywalk to BTS station Asoke, and easy access to MRT station Sukhumvit. We moved to larger and better equipped offices in 2012.

ABC Tech sponsors events such as barcamp bangkhen, Agile Tour Bangkok and encourages its developers to attend, speak at, and organize conferences, camps, and community meet-ups.

What we provide

A fun workplace with lots of room to grow, throw around ideas, and experiment
Cutting edge agile as part of your everyday
Competitive salary
We provide high level English training to further improve your communication skills
Friendly atmosphere

Some Fridays we like to end the week with a small social gathering at the office, where someone presents a short tech talk on a topic they hold dear. A good place to share that new technology you just discovered and played with, or an idea you have been thinking about lately.

We have a comprehensive benefits package, some highlights are:

BTS/MRT allowance
Racquet club membership or individual fitness/gym plan
Group insurance
Gadget program
Company trips and happenings
Provident fund
And more :-)

Technology and how we work

We like OOP (Object Oriented Programming), testing and MVC (Model, View, Controller). We're also big fans of Agile. Our current process is KANBAN-based with some twists of Scrum. We try to keep it lightweight, while still providing the security we need. Other departments (like marketing) are currently adopting our KANBAN lifestyle, which is great to witness. We focus on improving ourselves where we can, and are always open to change and new ideas.

Our main language is Perl, but it is not a pre-requisite for applying. If you are a good developer we will teach you Perl. We also have some PHP and NodeJS. Some of the technologies we currently use and investigate are:
