Background

We're looking for a talented mid- or senior-level engineer with several years of experience in a full-stack web framework, preferably Rails. We need someone who can dig in on React, so experience there is a plus, but relevant experience with other libraries could work. The ideal candidate takes a stand on software design, has opinions about code and isn’t afraid to speak up. Our development team is tightly integrated with our product team, so the right person understands how the forest impacts the trees when building a software application and wants to be involved in the product design process.

The job

You build the products and manage the technologies that make the company’s offerings compelling. You will work within the engineering team in a very flat and open organization. This position will be based out of our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.

• You are adept at writing effective unit tests, system tests and regression tests
• You take an active role in the success of the rest of the engineering team
• You insist on the ‘why’ in addition to the ‘what’. You foresee higher level problems with a project before it even starts
• You are skilled at estimating engineering efforts and delivering on-time
• You are extremely adept at troubleshooting and fixing hard bugs
• You know what corners can be cut and what corners should never be cut
• You know how to use your time and resources effectively
• You are aware of and sensitive to information security

Requirements

• Deep technical knowledge of a number of web technologies and strong awareness of the rest
• Expert-level software engineering and coding skills with 7+ years experience in software engineering
