Are you someone who thinks of an application as soon as you come across a real world problem to be solved, manual errors to be reduced/eliminated, a monotonous task to be automated or enable distributed problem solving in a highly collaborative crowd sourced environment If so then you are someone we are looking for, a passionate and energetic Software Application Engineer-in-the-making training on production level applications, to build next-generation web and/or native solutions which are efficacious, highly extensible and scalable. This would be a one year full time apprenticeship, you would absorb the functional domain skills, business and market domain knowledge and above all nbyula's core organizational values, through an immersive, learn-via-building apprenticeship. We would be ecstatic to make you a full time terraformer, if you continue leveling-up throughout your apprenticeship!

Who is an ideal match for being aterraformer at nbyula

All the attributes that we are looking for in an ideal teammate.

Openness- We welcome people from different backgrounds and schools of thought, Terraformers are open to different perspectives in approaching a solution and not just limit their thoughts or ideas to only a specific domain
Conscientiousness- We believe in working together for the larger goal and with complete dedication and not just for personal benefits, however we do not expect terraformers to work to the point of burnout
Humility- Being humble, grateful and respectful are the core traits of terraformers, we do not expect people to agree with every view of the management, feel free to have a different perspective but we always expect it to be put forward with respect
Risk Takers- Terraformers are not afraid of the unknown and are open to new things, not that we encourage extreme risks without weighing the consequences but we are ones who take calculated risks
Autodidacts- Terraformers teach themselves to learn, we do our own research to get solutions, we do not expect you to have a blank slate and figure everything out yourself, we are here to guide you but not handhold and micromanage you
Self-Actualization- Terraformers are on the path of self-actualization, we are not bothered by the noise and distractions around us, we only work towards achieving our full potential. We do not expect you to over-burden yourself and not have fun but we expect you to work to the best of your capabilities
