We're looking to expand our engineering team at Poppy. As a core member of the team you will be responsible for the design and development of systems and features that enables the Poppy experience.
Responsibilities include:
- Writing maintainable and testable backend logic and code
- Designing, developing, and maintaining REST APIs
- Creating first class web and mobile user interfaces
- Translating product specs into code and usable features
Our Ideal Candidate has:
Strong software development skills:
Developing clean, well-designed code to solve really hard problems is what we do. This one is kind of non-negotiable.
Strong collaboration skills:
We’re a small, close-knit team that works on understanding how the technology we build improves the experience of our users in the real world. We value those that enjoy and thrive in tight collaborative working situations.
Prior experience working with a team on a web application.
We’re a team on a mission, with a lot of ambitious work in front of us so we strongly prefer candidates with at least 4 years of experience working on a professional web application, and who can hit the ground running.
The ability to work across the stack:
We’re responsible for an array of systems, some of which require navigating the latest JavaScript APIs and others which require writing a lot of Ruby. It’s important that you’re a quick study; it's equally important that you're both capable of and excited about working in a variety of different spaces.
Proficiency with and (especially) desire to work with Rails and React:
We are looking for someone who has a background in web development with experience developing with web based frameworks such as Rails, Django, or Nodejs. You should also have knowledge of modern web development standards (HTML 5, CSS 3, ES6) and familiarity with front end JavaScript frameworks such as React and Angular.
An appreciation for great interfaces:
We value engineers who are thoughtful and excited about great user experiences. Everyone on our team contributes to product and design decisions. If you can’t think of an interface that you’ve used recently which delights you, you likely won’t enjoy the role.
