At CA Technologies’ R&D Innovation Center in Denver, Colorado we build products like CA Agile Central, formerly known as Rally, that enable companies to morph from slow-moving bureaucracies into places where trust, collaboration, innovation, and rapid response to changing customer demands are the norm.  

We think radically transforming the way software is built and delivered is pretty exciting stuff, and we’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer who can lead/mentor other team members along the way. 

A Bit About Us

We collaborate constantly. We develop with modern languages, frameworks, and tools.  We think about clean code, automated testing, and scaling all the time.  We take walks, sample the kegs, and play games to give our brains a break.  We use our own products to manage our work and stay agile.  We’re always getting better.

Some of the reasons our engineers love it here:

• Hackathons: Unleash your creativity with regular opportunities to prototype your ideas with whatever cool new tech you want and present it to the rest of the business. Many hackathons have become full-fledged parts of our products.

• No role or tech ruts: Expand your role or create your own.  Work across the entire stack or specialize in an area of interest to you.  Change teams when you need some new scenery.

• A Learning Environment: Our experiment-rich culture has us evolving our methodology and tools constantly.  We encourage developers to attend and present at conferences and meetups.
• Collaboration: Our teams work closely together in agile style, enabling us to learn from each other rather than getting trapped in silos.  Almost all production code is written in pairs.

• Influence: Every developer is empowered and encouraged to make things better - the product, the technology, the processes, and the culture.

• Location: With a thriving tech scene, 300 days of sunshine, 300 miles of dedicated bikeways, and an almost embarrassing abundance of outdoor adventure opportunities, Denver is an amazing place to live.

• Work/life balance: We take this one seriously, and work hard to make the pace sustainable.

Things You Might Do Here

• Stand up a new service written in Clojure with a MongoDB backend
• Build a new page using ReactJS, creating reusable UI components along the way
• Prepare pages for localization into dozens of different languages
• Create integrations between Agile Central and other products using WebHooks
• Advance the state of the art of our front end testing infrastructure
• Use Splunk and in-house tooling to dive deep into a performance problem and fix it
