London UK: Red Badger - http://red-badger.com
We're a creative software workshop working on the leading edge of tech. We've been implementing Node.js projects for enterprise size clients for 2 years now. Our team is the perfect balance between creative and tech. Our UX people understand the technical limitations of what they are designing. Our techies understand UX. Everyone sits side-by-side and they talk, solving complex problems together.
We're passionate about providing value to our clients. We use agile processes such as Scrum and Kanban to deliver quickly. We use lean startup principles to innovate, failing fast & failing cheaply.
Most importantly, we have strong opinions, weakly held. We're always adaptable to new ways of working, new technology and new ideas.
At Red Badger our tools are chosen to fit each project, not the other way around. We are technologists, geeks and polyglots.
Technology doesn't stand still and neither do we. On a regular basis we get our whole tech team together (developers, testers, agile project managers) and review all the tech we've used across all our projects to derive what's hot and what's not in our world of tech.
Far from an exhaustive list, you can find the results of our most recent Tech Round Table with our favourites on our website: http://red-badger.com/services/tech/.
We're currently hiring into the following positions:
* Technical Architect - leading interesting new projects across multiple enterprise clients.…

If you want to set up Elasticsearch and have a quick play around with some queries I have written a beginner friendly intro which you may find useful:

Looking forward to reading this book! Elasticsearch has been a great tool for us.

I'm a full stack engineer looking for some new impactful work to get stuck into. If you're pushing the boundaries on something exciting, something that'll change people's lives and have a team that's empowered from top to bottom on technology and process - let me know.
Alternatively, I'm available for short-term React work if you need a seasoned specialist.
I have successfully shipped boatloads of successful products including
- Shepherding an extremely large scale React project for a global retailer chain (https://red-badger.com/our-work/case-study/retailer)
- Scaling the popular Zombies, Run! fitness app to a free to play model, resulting in a userbase in the millions
- Creating a pharmaceutical workflow and portal used by the largest companies in the field
I also give talks about tech (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqrUzKv_ElU&feature=youtu.be&t… and https://pusher.com/sessions/meetup/london-node-user-group/serverless-a… and have my articles scattered around the internet (e.g.https://betanews.com/2017/03/24/pioneer-guide-alexa/).
If this sounds like a great match to you, drop me an email.
