Development @ FieldRoutes

On the FieldRoutes software development team, code is released daily to tens of thousands of field service staff around the country (our customers' service about 4% of homes in America)—the code you write in the morning could be deployed to thousands of users the same day. Our office software runs on a LAMP stack deployed across self-hosted cloud servers running the same codebase, and our app uses React Native with a continuous integration solution for a clean, build-less release process.

There are lots of differently shaped problems to take on at FieldRoutes, and we are looking for engineers who like challenges, are good problem solvers, and can build on an existing framework to optimize for scale. Customer growth presents interesting challenges—you can find something that interests you, with the opportunity to pioneer and take ownership of key features while you grow with the company. Whether you're interested in front-end user experience, mobile app development, query optimization, dev-ops, application security, or something else entirely, you'll be able to find your place.

The Software Engineer role is a direct-hire, remote position ideal for strong communicators with the ability to be detail oriented and work under pressure in a fast-paced environment. Candidates should also have the ability to track down, solve, and release solutions to bugs and issues.
