100% Remote
Our company is headquartered in Vancouver but we have always been a remote
team, spread across North America. We talk frequently and use collaboration
tools you will be familiar with like Slack, Zoom, Github.
Full Idea Lifecycle
You will be involved in the design process, working with the founders and
others in the development team to scope and refine product and system
concepts prior to development. Contributing thoughtfully to conversations in
a positive, engaging manner should come easily to you.
Independent
We are a small, technically strong team. We communicate closely and enjoy
working together. However, as this is a senior developer role, you will also
be expected to be independent and self-sufficient. You will need to be
capable of developing strong strategies to solve complex business challenges,
communicating those to others, and then implementing your defined strategy.
Pace
Our success to date is founded on producing high-quality software that our
users love. Yet as a young company in a rapidly evolving market we need to
move very fast. We typically work in 3-week cycles with multiple disciplines
on a project. We try not to sprint. We value considered, well-judged,
pragmatic strategies that can be acted upon quickly. You will enjoy finding
the right balance between shipping your very best work, and pragmatically
meeting challenging schedules.
