Senior Fullstack Engineer - Retail - remote

We are looking for an engineer with a “find a way or make a way”attitude that is excited to join a small but growing team that has more projects than developers. This opportunity is for someone excited for autonomy, ownership, and breadth of responsibility.

Our environment is typical of a start-up:

• We work in small teams, fast-paced, we all get a lot done by everyone wearing many hats.
• We are serious about optimizing our time and staying focused on the most important goals and outcomes.
• We are a remote team and are completely on board with 100% remote work, meaning we focus on over-communication to ensure we can stay in sync despite our physical distance.
• We coordinate using a kanban board, hold a daily standup, and mostly communicate via ad hoc video calls and Slack.
• We’re building lots of new things, but also maintaining a significant business. We are mindful of the balance and need to monitor and pay down tech debt and also innovate with exciting greenfield projects.

Tech stack.
