Description

• Kit is an email-first operating system for creators who mean business. We help creators grow and monetize their audience with ease. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn’t a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products - all within one platform. More importantly, there isn’t a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. • We’re on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote. We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. • The Kit culture is one where emotional intelligence is valued, radical candor is encouraged, and where everyone works together to uphold a set of shared team principles. • We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys creating beautiful experiences and has empathy for the Creators we serve. You will be joining the Builders Squad, which is responsible for building the suite of tools Creators use to build their emails, landing pages, Creator Profile, and more. This squad builds and supports features that directly impact our growth, conversions, and churn.

Requirements

• Expertise with modern frameworks like React and Tailwind for building high-performance user interfaces. • Experience with Ruby on Rails. • Previous experience writing code that is accessible, scalable, maintainable, and performant. • A keen interest in working closely with Product and Engineering managers on prioritization. That includes analyzing risks and dependencies for proposed features, and providing insight into scope we can cut while still meeting business goals. • A commitment to mentoring and teaching other engineers formally and informally. • The ability to dive deep into problems, especially in maintaining and improving legacy applications, ensuring long-term stability beyond quick fixes. • Ability to take on ambiguous tasks, propose solutions, and independently execute projects. Self-starters with strong initiative are key. • A strong growth mindset, leadership, and ownership with a drive to continuously improve and take on new challenges. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a focus on documenting technical work clearly and making it accessible to all stakeholders. • Be autonomous and self-motivated to work effectively in a 100% remote company. • Have enthusiasm for and belief in our mission, vision, and values. • Attend our bi-annual company retreats. • At least a 4 hour overlap with teammates based in the east coast.
