Full Stack Developer
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Full Stack Developer with an affinity for startup culture to work as part of a tight, fast-moving web product team. This is green field work -- you’re not dealing with legacy. So no reverse-compatibility headaches -- you can design it right from the get-go.
What You'll Do:
Own the technical design, implementation, testing, and technical documentation of several new products.
Create robust and easy-to-maintain components and libraries as needed, and select plug-in technologies to help extend functionality. Optimize our web-first, responsive web app development approach.
Ensure code quality via solid PRs and building of automated tests using React Testing Library and Cypress.
Work in a small, tight team of experienced web developers with many years of production experience in industries such as education and e-commerce. We have an aversion to tech debt, and we don’t pay lip service to the retrospective, but really try to improve our SDLC every sprint.
About You
Solid experience and desire to sling HTML, CSS, Tailwind, Yarn, etc.
Modern JS skills with specific experience in React and Typescript
Experience with ORMs and SQL esp. Postgres
Experience working with APIs to ingest data and interfacing with vendors and partners
Understanding of automated testing with React Testing Library and Cypress
Knowledge of distributed version control systems (e.g. Git on Github)
Strong knowledge of React ecosystem and opinions about what a good stack looks like
Comfortable with sudden shifts in functionality as we respond rapidly to user feedback.
You’re not afraid of on-call shifts and hot-fixes, if they have to happen. Of course, you know that solid testing minimizes the pain of on-call and hotfix!
Nice to have’s:
Ability and willingness to document your code effectively in README’s, videos, etc.
Experience in CD/CI/Cloud deployments such as AWS, GCP, terraform
Experience in engineering for digitally native/software businesses & products
Interviewing for this role
You’ll meet 3 engineers on the team, and work side-by-side on a hands-on challenge with each of them (CoderPad).
You’ll meet with your manager, our PMs, and our execs to learn about our culture and share your experience and interests
A more junior candidate may work on a small take-home assignment to assess style and approach.
