We Work Remotely
Here at Beyond, we are passionate about helping short-term rental property managers and hosts grow their businesses. Backed by the world-class Bessemer Venture Partners, we have grown from a bootstrapped company of a few to the market leader in our category.  We attribute our success to our belief that the people are the most important part of a business and our commitment to being a fantastic place to work.

It's with that in mind that Beyond Pricing is looking to add a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to our growing team. You will have the opportunity to join a new team focusing on our self-serve customers. Because you will be working with a cross-functional team that is entirely remote, excellent coding and communication skills are essential. If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves and jumping in, then read on!

Our team believes in:

  • Reducing scope - The best way to control progress and test hypotheses is to prevent scope creep;
  • Shipping early - The best way to learn early is to ship early. No need to be perfect;
  • Iterating and improving - Once we get the feedback we need, we iterate and improve;
  • Taking ownership - The code we ship is our responsibility as we know it best;
  • Delivering value - By focussing on providing the best customer experience, we improve acquisition and retention and drive revenue.

As our Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll be responsible for

  • Building new experiences and tailoring existing products for our self-serve customer segment
  • Working across the customer journey and approaching problems with a growth mindset;understanding KPIs, knowing what tradeoffs to make in pursuit of learning and speed, suggesting more straightforward implementations
  • Working with the Growth Team to understand how to make self-serve customers more successful;this means continuous learning and innovation
  • Collaborating across product and engineering teams to build the best products possible
  • Working with Front-End team to improve tooling as we iterate toward a best-in-class solution using React / Next.js

So what kind of person are we looking for in this role?

  • Collaborative - You can work independently with autonomy, but enjoy problem-solving and ideating as a team;you value others’ perspectives and make decisions that are best for the customer
  • Curious - You are driven to understand how things work or why they don't.  You have deep empathy for the customer and want to find what works best for them
  • Result-oriented - You manage the trade-offs between speed and quality in pursuit of the best outcome. You would rather ship, measure, and iterate into a product that achieves the team’s objectives rather than code the perfect component on the first try

Now that we’ve told you what the job looks like, here are the qualifications we're looking for in a candidate:

  • Expert level JavaScript knowledge. You love JavaScript with all its pros and cons
  • Extensive experience with React, familiarity with Next.js and Ember.js is a plus
  • Experience with experimentation and AB testing a major plus
  • Experience with Python / Ruby or other high-level scripting languages
  • You want to know the big picture;Being able to change/understand the backend is important for you
  • You care about learning and results;You come to work to make an impact and care about business results.
  • You want to move fast and try new things. You can do this by working independently or while collaborating closely with cross-functional peers
  • Experience mentoring others, including code review. You love to contribute your knowledge and you know this is how good teams become great
  • Have worked in a fast-paced startup environment. You understand the business side and that coding is just one part of a successful business
