Responsibilities will include:

  • Working on the full stack, from UI elements to database performance.
  • Building new features from start to finish and back end to front end, including architecture design, coding, testing, and supporting in production.
  • Tackling a wide variety of technical issues throughout our stack and contributing to all parts of the code base.

Key things we'll be looking for:

  • The ability to hold your own on the front end and the back end.
  • Experience with MVC frameworks such as Rails, Django, Pyramid, etc.
  • SQL database experience (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite).
  • Experience with deployments to Heroku, AWS, or similar.
  • A track record of balancing fast-and-dirty and long-term code maintainability.

Extra credit if you have:

  • Deep expertise with Ruby/Ruby on Rails.
  • Experience with Postgres database administration.
  • Shipped code that has supported tens of thousands of users, including enterprise/business customers.
  • Experience in operations and how it pertains to site reliability/speed.
  • Familiarity with networking, caching, database, and how to triage issues.
  • Experience working on a fundraising/crowdfunding platform.
  • Experience working on a fintech or payments technology product.
  • A good eye for intuitive, user-friendly front end design.
