## Description

Allovue is looking for engineers that display a love of their craft and are continuing to strive to learn more about programming and building software in general. We don't stop at helping to facilitate K-12 education; we strongly believe to stop learning is to grow stagnant.
We are looking for candidates that are varied in experiences and are generally well-versed in one or more specific areas of practice. Those areas may include:

 + front-end development
 + back-end development
 + data mining
 + operations
We have services written in R and Ruby: including a Rails API. We use Postgres and Elasticsearch as our persistence layers and Ember.js as the framework we currently use for our client-side application. Some languages we have been evaluating for upcoming services include Clojure, Elixir, and Node.js. We do not expect a candidate to have all of those skills currently, but he/she should be proficient in building web applications at scale.
