End Result, powered by Stack Sports, is actively seeking a new junior software developer.  A full-time employee is preferable; however, starting part-time is acceptable.

This developer will be joining a small IT team, and primarily will be responsible for creating and maintaining web and mobile application software to be used before, during, and after participatory sporting events (e.g., marathons).  Our web-based software includes several websites related to event registration, timing, and results.  We also have several mobile applications in place for related, specialized services, and would like to develop more.  We also need to further develop our APIs for these services to increase integration and efficiency.  Much of our work is flexible in nature: there is room for experimentation during the development process, and new ideas and techniques are encouraged.

In addition to office-based work, this developer will be required to travel occasionally in order to test and use their applications in context at events, and gather feedback from employee, client, and event participant users as applicable.
