Who You Are

You are a builder! You enjoy coding, whether it’s building user interface components based on the design team’s spec, or translating some ambiguous business logic to a scalable backend. You are easy to talk to. You are opinionated, but you also keep an open mind. Not only do you have a strong sense of ownership, but you thrive on it. You can work independently and in a team. You love working in a fast-paced environment. You have high technical standards, but you also know when to be scrappy: you are goal-oriented and you prioritize getting results.

And you have a great attitude!

  • Experience in building in-house solutions for non-technical teams
  • Experience with payment processing solutions
  • Experience with CRMs (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce) and CMSs (e.g., Contentful, WeWeb)
  • Experience with backend (e.g., Nest.js, Express, Django) and frontend frameworks (e.g., Vue.js, React.js)
  • Experience with various databases (relational, non-relational, in-memory)
  • Experience with Git and agile development
  • Strong communication skills and sense of ownership coupled with strong problem-solving skills
  • Experience working with cross-functional (e.g., product, sales, marketing) and fully remote teams

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
