Senior Full-Stack Developer – Remote OK

About Us

We’re a software company. We build apps and websites for other businesses. We have about 18,000 employees in different countries. The team you’d join has 8 people right now.

I’m Sarah, the engineering manager. I’ve been here since 2019. Most of my team has been here 2-3 years, which is pretty good for tech.

The Job

You’d be working on web applications. Sometimes it’s fixing bugs, sometimes it’s building new features. We use Node.js for backend stuff and React for frontend.

Last week I spent Tuesday morning helping debug a payment processing issue. Wednesday I was building a new dashboard for one of our clients. Thursday was mostly code reviews and planning.

That’s pretty typical.

What You Need

Experience: 7+ years building web apps professionally. Not counting school projects or weekend stuff.

Backend: Node.js, Express, probably some database work. We use PostgreSQL mostly.

Frontend: React. You should know hooks, context, the usual stuff. We don’t use class components anymore.

Other tech:

• TypeScript (everything new is TypeScript)
• Docker (for deployments)
• Git (obviously)
• Some kind of testing framework

Nice to have:

• GraphQL
• AWS experience
• Kubernetes

What We Don’t Care About

Degrees. I don’t have a CS degree. Three people on my team don’t either.

Where you went to school. Where you worked before. How many GitHub stars your projects have.

We care if you can write code that works and doesn’t break things.

Day to Day

Check Slack when you get up. See if anything’s broken. Usually it’s not.

Morning standup at 10am EST. Takes about 15 minutes.

Rest of the day is whatever you’re working on. New features, bug fixes, code reviews.

We don’t track hours. Some people work 9-5. Some people work weird hours because they have kids or live in different time zones.

The Hard Parts

Sometimes stuff breaks at 2am and you have to fix it. Doesn’t happen often but it happens.

Some of our code is old and messy. We’re slowly cleaning it up.

Clients sometimes want things that don’t make sense. We usually talk them out of it.

Money and Benefits

$120k-$160k depending on experience. Health insurance. 401k. Three weeks vacation.

We’re remote-first. Office in Austin if you want to go there sometimes. Most people don’t.

Interview Process

30 minute phone call with me. Talk about your background, what you’re looking for.

Then 90 minutes with two engineers. They’ll ask about projects you’ve worked on. Maybe look at some code together. No whiteboard stuff.

Reference check. Offer.

Usually takes about two weeks.
