Position overview:

When it comes to software engineers, there are two types. Moriarty and Sherlock. The Moriartys of the world want to create some elaborate web of code, building a plan from the ground up, accounting for every detail, and eventually ruling the world. The Sherlocks of the world want to dig into an elaborate web of code and figure out what went wrong. They deduce…they investigate…and when they solve it, they can’t help but tell everyone. This is a role for the Sherlocks.

You love digging into code, and figuring out what is wrong. You love fixing code that isn’t working right, or just making it better. You’re ready to expand your software development career by helping some of the largest companies in the world maximize their use of Fountain’s hiring platform.
