We're looking for a product-minded software engineer. You will be our third engineer, and will be essential in shaping the early features and functionality of our fast-growing community product, our culture and processes. You will have direct access to our primary users as well as a strong influence on the technology used to solve our problems.

Tools & skills you'll be using

We use Clojure for all of our server-side code, using the Edge framework from JUXT, backed by PostgreSQL.

We use AWS for our infrastructure.

For keeping organized, we use Clubhouse, Notion, and Slack.

Responsibilities

• Help shape our product and technology roadmap — what should we be building in 3 - 6 -12 months and what will we need?


• Analyze upcoming features as a member of the Product team — question why we are building something, and describe how we can deliver it


• Deliver changes to frontend and backend code and infrastructure in a continuous and agile way, in order to achieve our product goals


• Ensure the availability and quality of our product by monitoring and responding to alerts and bug reports


• Work with a high level of autonomy in a remote, asynchronous way
