Description of the offer
We’re setting out to level the playing field for job seekers, building a truly consumer-first platform that equips people with the tools, technology, and resources they need to feel empowered to achieve career growth on their own terms. Our long-term goal: to help people make confident career decisions from the day they start working to the day they retire—and that starts with the job search.
We’re looking for a fully remote, US-based seasoned Rails developer. You will be working directly with our CTO, our engineers and our designers to build out features that surface insight, guidance and time savings to our users. Join us as we build the first truly consumer-first platform to help people grow and manage their careers.
Responsibilities
- Build out features that offer insights and career guidance for our users
- Help maintain existing services
- Collaborate with our designers and business stakeholders, brainstorm, have fun 🙂
- Develop and shape the company’s backend standards and processes
You Have Experience
- With our stack: Rails, Postgres, Redis, Heroku, Git
- With testing, and you love it
- Working in a startup environment where helping to build culture and processes is just as important as building code
Nice-to-Haves
- Working in an early stage company (series Seed & A startups) where process grows along with our team size.
- Experience working in a 100% remote environment
What Awesome Looks Like
At day 1:
- You’ve made your first pull request, perhaps a missing test, or readme improvement.
At 1 week:
- You have a good idea of how the backend services work.
- You have a small PR merged into master.
At 1 month:
- You’ve deployed your first full feature.
- You’ve associated this feature with a metric, and seen how your feature has moved the needle on this metric.
At 3 months:
- You are fully fluent in our platform, showing us what is possible, what can be improved.
- You are helping us plan major features.
What We Offer
- Salary: $140,000 – $170,000
- Incentive Stock Options proportionate to salary
- Fully remote work & remote office stipend (coworking, laptop, etc.)
- No company wide meetings on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays
- Career development stipend
- Unlimited vacation and sick days
- Up to 12 weeks paid parental leave, earned 1 week for each month of tenure
- 80 – 100% coverage of health insurance (depending on chosen plan) & 401K Benefits with up to 4% company matching
- Guaranteed 1-month severance if things don’t work out. You are trusting us with your career, and we want you to know we take it seriously.
- As mentioned we are fully remote, however once per year we pay for the entire company to fly to the same city for a week of fun projects and general team building, think hackathons, boat rides and great food.
