We're looking to expand our team with colleagues who are smart, driven, and who have a knack for solving difficult challenges.

Engineering at RizeHQ
Our approach is to foster an agile development culture based Scrum, but without some of the cumbersome overhead. Our engineering team operates on two-week sprints. Each sprint begins with a meeting to discuss the goals of the development cycle, and it ends with a review of the sprint progress. Our product requirements methodology favors brevity and visual specs wherever possible. We utilize UI workflows and wireframes for interface specs, and sequence diagrams for backend specs.
On the frontend, we're focused on abstracting the complexity of fostering meaningful professional relationships into a simple UI. The design challenge is extraordinary.
On the backend, in the near-term, we are focused on building out clean, highly-tuned data models and APIs. In the intermediate-to-long term, we're excited to apply our energies to machine learning and complex matching algorithms.
Working at RizeHQ
Our most prized cultural qualities are our energy, drive, and resourcefulness. We place the development and satisfaction of our people first — it is central to our mission and values. And, we take pride in cultivating an environment that is collegial, fun, and down to earth. Finally, we don't attempt to fit individuals into a mold. We prize cognitive diversity and individual perspectives, and we strive to encourage each member of our team to be the best versions of themselves.
