Full Stack Developer

Why Bonfire?

At Bonfire, we bring people together to make decisions with certainty. What does that mean? We’re powering billions of dollars worth of decision making across 200+ customers.

You’ve probably never heard of us before - and that’s okay - but remember when you had the opportunity to see your favourite band at a small venue before they were selling out the ACC? Joining Bonfire now is like getting on the guest list.

We’re a VC-backed, Y-Combinator success story that customers love (99% retention) and we’ve already impacted $12B+ in procurement spending decisions.

Bonfire is an opportunity for you to make an impact and accelerate your career. We’re in a unique position, growing from 40 to over 100 people in the next year. We’re looking for team members who will:

• Make an impact
• Drive results
• Remain humble - no job is too small

The Role

As a Full Stack Developer, you’ll join one of our 4-6-person dev squads that owns a product area and takes features from story to shipped. All aspects of our development stack are fair game, from architecting schemas to crafting front-end experiences and from designing APIs to rolling out micro services. You'll choose your own adventure, working with your squad to achieve shared goals, helping each other cross the finish line and ensuring everyone gets the opportunities and challenges they want.

You’ll work alongside peers in your squad as well as the other dev squads, reporting to Kris Braun, our Director of Engineering. Squads move through a weekly rhythm of kickoff and retros, with the whole dev team gathering for peer Tech Talks and Team Huddles. Development is backed by our fantastic Product Management team, with Technical Product Managers deeply understanding customer needs and working with developers to deliver more than customers expect.
