OK, we do bust our a__es and have to find solutions for many problems, but as stressful as it gets… it’s always a good time.

1. Creating Great Experiences

What is development like at iQmetrix?

• We are first and foremost passionate about software development. We are continuous learners and work together to make each other better every day. We pair program and believe that close collaboration is the best way to share knowledge.
• We require excellent problem-solving skills but not just to solve problems. We find the right solution, not just the first one we come up with.
• Most of our developers have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, but skills and abilities come first.
• Communication is key. We work in multi-disciplinary teams and most communication is verbal. The formal documentation we do have is a result of these verbal conversations.
• To create high quality software, we write clean, extensible, S.O.L.I.D. object-oriented code and use techniques like Test-Driven Development and Continuous Deployment to ensure that we sustain our velocity over time.
• Delivering value to our customers is our top priority and we look for devs with a strong bias for action. We strive for excellence, but don’t let “perfect” get in the way of moving forward.
• We automate everything that moves, to transition from coding to deployment to production as quickly and as often as possible.
• Our systems are based on a distributed, micro-service architecture. We build REST APIs, leverage Azure Service Bus and ØMQ to build highly scalable and efficient products.
• Our web apps are built as single page apps using modern JavaScript tools and frameworks such as Backbone.js, Bootstrap and gulp.
• Tools like Git, ReSharper and Postman allow us to move quickly and don’t get in the way. Our dev teams use open source tools a lot; we’ve contributed to several open source projects including NancyFx and NetMQ.
