You see \u2026 here\u2019s the deal.<\/p>\n<p>AgilityFeat does two things: <strong>(1) custom software development<\/strong> in Costa Rica, and <strong>(2) agile process and engineering coaching<\/strong> and training for companies around the US. Do you also do both of those? Well, maybe except the Costa Rica part?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re in the enviable position at AgilityFeat of turning away agile coaching work these days, and like most business people,<em> I hate turning away people who are willing to pay me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have to hire right away to fill this position, therefore I am willing to wait until just the right person comes along. So <strong>don\u2019t be offended if I don\u2019t hire you \u2013 it\u2019s not you, it\u2019s me.<\/strong> But if you fit the bill of goods below, then let me know. Push me off the fence and convince me to hire you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m looking for someone who is:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Really good at agile processes like <strong>Scrum and Kanban<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Developer<\/strong> and\/or test automation background<\/li>\n<li>Experienced agile engineer with hands on <strong>TDD, CI, and Continuous Delivery<\/strong> experience<\/li>\n<li>That means you\u2019re also <strong>really good at writing software in an agile way<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Project or department level management experience, or at least some <strong>Scrummaster experience.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Great people skills.<\/strong> Not the kind where you carry the requirements to the engineers, but the kind where you are a good listener, and can combine your super powers of <strong>empathy<\/strong> and technical prowess to connect with our customers and help them craft the process and technical changes they need to take the next agile step.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Great public speaking skills.<\/strong> You should probably sweat less than I do when I speak publicly, unless you can pull off the weird Steve Ballmer vibe.<\/li>\n<li>US Citizen (some of our clients will require this)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Willing to travel<\/strong> 3 weeks a month, around the US. Occasionally to Costa Rica too!<\/li>\n<li>You like <strong>coaching, training, and doing hands on development<\/strong>. When we need to fill in the cracks between your training and coaching, we\u2019ll ask you to write code with our teams in Costa Rica.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with any or all of these: <strong>.NET, Java, Ruby, Python<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Experience as a consultant, especially with business process analysis<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entrepreneurial mindset<\/strong>. We like side projects.<\/li>\n<li>Not annoyed by <strong>Lean Startup<\/strong> buzzwords. I\u2019ll try not to overuse them though.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Got a blog or tweets<\/strong> that show us how knowledgeable you are and give us a sense of your communication style? Make sure to share!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s kind of a long list, but <strong>my standards and goals for this position are pretty high<\/strong>. I\u2019m happy to coach you in the role, but <strong>I want to do just as much learning from you<\/strong> too, so I\u2019m looking to be impressed.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in applying, send me a note at Arin@AgilityFeat.com or call 434 996 5226. Don\u2019t be offended if I don\u2019t answer right away, I\u2019m probably busy turning away work.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AgilityFeat is hiring an agile engineering coach!
