Sr. Software Engineer

About The Role:

As a founding engineer, you will design, build and own products that our users love and use on a daily basis. You will do this using Clojure(script), a functional programming language that truly makes developing software a joyful experience. 

We are looking for engineers who have a strong customer centric mindset and a deep sense of ownership of the product. We like engineers who have a strong attention to detail and like to constantly learn new technologies, systems & thought processes. Not only will you be responsible for building a great product, but also a great company that is thought through from first principles. You will enjoy working with us if you like to put your engineering hat on, challenge everything and solve hard problems.

We are a small team of passionate engineers that are focused on developing great software for our users. We move fast and have strong internal and external feedback loops that we act on and improve ourselves. We deliberately chose Clojure(script) as our language of choice as it helps us ship great bug free products and be very productive, at the same time. We try to be system thinkers with strong first principles based reasoning. We strongly believe that trust and autonomy is necessary to come up with the best products and customer experience.

• Taking strong ownership of the product and improving it based on customer feedback and product analytics
• Improving our culture and engineering/product practices
• Helping with future hiring, onboarding and growing the company
• Develop in (and learn) Clojure(script) (a strong functional programming language) which has some of the best tooling for iterative (repl based) development

• Have experience in building Single Page Applications using HTML/CSS and a JS framework, preferably React.js

• Have experience with or aspirations to learn functional programming practices
