📋 Description

• BackerKit enables creators worldwide to focus on doing what they love: creating! • We're a profitable, self-funded start-up of around 50 people with a diverse, close-knit team that prizes creativity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn. • We're looking for a Staff-level software developer (an individual contributor) to take us to the next level. • Our Tech Stack includes Ruby on Rails “majestic monolith” deployed on Heroku. • We prioritize fast iteration, shipping small experiments to make sure we’re constantly learning from our customers. • We're small-a agile, which means no component of our process is sacrosanct. • None of the developers are expected to “stay in their lane,” particularly at the Staff level. • Strong communication and consensus-building skills are essential. • We are a remote-first distributed team, working 9-5 Pacific time.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep knowledge of Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript • Experience working on multiple such projects over time • Ability to zoom out to big-picture thinking (i.e., architecture or business level), while remaining comfortable bushwhacking in the weeds • Building a web product in an iterative, small-a agile environment • Frequent pair programming - excited to use it daily to learn and teach • Test-driving and automated testing in general - can have thoughtful discussions about when and how much to test code • Awesome communication powers, including with non-technical people

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first position on a distributed team • Competitive salary and stock option plan • Stipends for supporting creators of your choosing • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k benefits (with employer match!) • Family-friendly and focused on maintaining a healthy work/life balance • Awesome work environment at a company with a huge vision • Annual Learning and Development stipend to support your professional growth
