Job Description
We have offices in Houston, New York, and prefer flexible hybrid work.
What you ll do
As part of the technology team, you'll work alongside other frontend engineers, backend engineers, mobile engineers, designers, and product managers to spearhead the development of several new web applications for our internal team, customers and consumer audience, reporting to engineering leadership that supports the team with technical guidance and cross-functional leadership and that supports you, individually, with career mentorship and development. We operate on 2-week sprints in an Agile-like way.
Technologies we use
- NodeJS and .NET Core REST-like APIs for the backend
- ReactJS and TypeScript single-page applications
- Flutter/Dart for cross-platform iOS and Android mobile development
- Heroku and AWS for cloud hosting
- GitHub
- Various third-party integrations with Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, and others
Qualifications
- At least 4 years experience in building single-page applications integrated with RESTful backends, ideally with ReactJS and TypeScript experience
- Start-up or small team experience in a rapidly growing or changing company with the ability to be quick, flexible, scrappy, and pragmatic about the tech we re building
- A strong degree of autonomy, curiosity, humility, and respect for the team
- Full-stack candidates absolutely encouraged to apply (we have a .NET backend)
Requirements
You re driven by teamwork, respect, trust, growth, and humility.
We are looking for open minds to join and help build a team that will only succeed if we nurture deep trust and respect across the team. Heroes aren t the answer to our business challenges; humility, trust, teamwork, and recognition that no single person has all the answers are what will keep us on the path to success. Being open, honest, and respectfully direct are core traits that are necessary for our team to be the strongest and most successful it can be.
You know how to design and build systems for different clients.
You have several (minimum: 4) years of professional team-based engineering experience and have built widely-used single page applications with modern frameworks. You may have experience with ReactJS and TypeScript (huge bonus, if so), but we re open to other similar technologies. You do, however, have experience with and an appreciation for building simple, scalable, and usable code and componentized frontend systems that are easy to expand, and have depth in practical experience. You can discuss design systems, technical design patterns, and are pragmatic and experienced enough to know that chasing every new frontend technology isn t likely to speed us up. You also recognize that writing code is the baseline for engineers, and being able to appreciate and think through business and product challenges and provide your expert engineering guidance to drive solutions is where you will bring your full value to the team.
You re scrappy.
We expect you to be ready for the fast-paced nature of an early start-up company and the needs we have of quickly building and deploying software. This is an environment where we need to optimize our speed and balance it with an eye towards the mid to long term. Practically, that means things like:
- We will architect quickly and in a way that allows us to move quicklynowwhile not backing us into a difficult-to-escape cornerlater.
- We won t prioritize things like high code coveragenow, but will write code thatiseasily testable in the future.
- We will question every process and thing we do if it s slowing us down and not adding value to the team or mission.
- We won t chase shiny technology; we ll use technologies and tools that enable us to simplify our environment and move faster, while keeping us as open as possible to future possibilities.
You re autonomous -and curious.
We will expect you to hit the ground running upon joining. We re looking for experience that will enable you to move quickly without your hand needing to be held. We place deep trust in our team members to be curious, to reach out to others to get guidance and ask questions, and to move quickly, while considering the impact each individual s actions have on the rest of the team. You will be no exception to those expectations. Your curiosity will also drive a solutions-oriented mindset expected of everyone on the team:
- Is another team in the company asking you for things you think we shouldn t be responsible for? Seek to understand why you re being asked and what solutions we could offer to reduce dependencies and improve operations.
- Faced with a product request that is incredibly challenging to fulfill? Seek to understand the intent, share your concerns, and offer solutions to your concerns to keep the product and company moving forward quickly.
