Working at Moative

Moative is a young company, but we believe strongly in thinking long-term, while acting with urgency. Our ethos is rooted in innovation, efficiency and high-quality outcomes. We believe the future of work is AI-augmented and boundary less. Here are some of our guiding principles:

• Think in decades. Act in hours. As an independent company, our moat is time. While our decisions are for the long-term horizon, our execution will be fast – measured in hours and days, not weeks and months.
• Own the canvas. Throw yourself in to build, fix or improve – anything that isn’t done right, irrespective of who did it. Be selfish about improving across the organization – because once the rot sets in, we waste years in surgery and recovery.
• Use data or don’t use data. Use data where you ought to but not as a ‘cover-my-back’ political tool. Be capable of making decisions with partial or limited data. Get better at intuition and pattern-matching. Whichever way you go, be mostly right about it.
• Avoid work about work. Process creeps on purpose, unless we constantly question it. We are deliberate about committing to rituals that take time away from the actual work. We truly believe that a meeting that could be an email, should be an email and you don’t need a person with the highest title to say that out loud.
• High revenue per person. We work backwards from this metric. Our default is to automate instead of hiring. We multi-skill our people to own more outcomes than hiring someone who has less to do. We don’t like squatting and hoarding that comes in the form of hiring for growth. High revenue per person comes from high quality work from everyone. We demand it.

If this role and our work is of interest to you, please apply. We encourage you to apply even if you believe you do not meet all the requirements listed above.  

That said, you should demonstrate that you are in the 90th percentile or above. This may mean that you have studied in top-notch institutions, won competitions that are intellectually demanding, built something of your own, or rated as an outstanding performer by your current or previous employers. 

The position is based out of Chennai. Our work currently involves significant in-person collaboration and we expect you to work out of our offices in Chennai.

• Technology: Java/J2EE, Spring, Hibernate, Microservices, React, Angular, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, SQL, Git, JIRA, Jenkins, Build Management (Maven/Gradle), Linux, Windows
• Experience in software development using Java/J2EE,
• Microservices and front-end tools and a strong command of object-oriented principles/programming.
• Knowledge of Node.js, React and Angular a plus and willingness to upgrade the skills
• Experience of development in agile models.
• Working knowledge with design patterns and component driven approach.
• Experience in requirement gathering, analysis and modeling
• Must have worked in continuous integration and continuous delivery.
• Good verbal and written communication skills are required for client interaction.
• Willing to work on frameworks/products around Java/J2EE technology on which company is working.
