About the job
Job title: Senior Full Stack Engineer
Job description:
- Own the development, maintenance, testing, and operations of a full-stack application. The backend is primarily Elixir/Phoenix/Absinthe and hosted in GCP. The frontend is React, primarily JavaScript with some TypeScript.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with our product manager, designer, other engineers, etc. to understand our users’ problems, design and build solutions to those problems, and validate our work.
- Build and maintain the application throughout the product life cycle.
- Take ownership and be empowered to make key decisions about what we build and how we build it.
- Grow as an engineer and assist those around you in their growth via mentorship, pairing, code reviews, and so on.
Salary range: USD $120k/yr-$175k/yr
Qualifications or experience required:
- 6+ years of backend software development experience, with 3+ of those in a functional language. Elixir or Erlang experience strongly preferred.
- 3+ years experience in React
- Self-directed and capable of working effectively in a startup environment
- Able to design data models and architect software solutions that consider both performance and future maintainability in a large, existing codebase
- Very communicative and responsive, as we work from home
What the successful job applicant will be working on: Full stack web development. We’re a small team (3 FT engineers currently, plus me), so there’s an opportunity to have a lot of impact and cut across the entire stack.
Position on remote work
Remote job: Yes
Remote restrictions: US-based in TX, CO, or NC
Remote leeway: Candidates in other US states with 4+ years of professional Elixir experience may be considered.
Any other notes about your position on remote work: Must be willing to travel once per quarter to Austin or Denver for our quarterly kickoff (2-3 days, company covers expenses). There’s a group that gets together in Denver at a WeWork once per week (optional), and we may expand that to other cities. We have no plans for ever mandating a return to an office.
