Description
Overview:
You'll be an integral part of a fast-moving tech team, focused on engineering the best customer experience imaginable. The tools we’re working on power the way our entire company operates, from the user experience on the web to the operational systems around logistics and order management. As an early member of this team, you’ll have a huge role in determining the process and scope for future projects, and be responsible for carrying these through to implementation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design + develop new technical projects that interface with every single part of our business.
- Collaborate with our design team to build intricate systems around order management, inventory management, logistics, and shipping.
- Scale our technology as the business grows, making sure we maintain & improve upon our work as we reach a broader audience.
- Work tirelessly to analyze and improve the speed & stability of our website, and constantly evaluate the tools we use do to so.
- Develop ways to capture, analyze, and act upon data to improve our user experience and workflow.
- Think of new ways to improve the business, and be ready to take ownership over their implementation.
Our ideal candidate is highly motivated, and able to manage their own time effectively. You should be very opinionated about the software you build and the tools you use, and be willing to debate the choices we make as a team (in the spirit of collaboration of course!). You should also have:
- 4+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, preferably in a start-up environment
- A degree in Computer Science, Design, or equivalent education
- Knowledge of JavaScript (we use CoffeeScript), CSS (Sass), and HTML
- Experience building reusable functional interfaces
- Experience with Rails or another MVC web framework
- Experience interfacing with 3rd party APIs
- Comfortable working with Unix command line tools and version-control tools like git
- Experience building and expanding web platforms through periods of high growth
- Experience in E-Commerce is a plus
