The Role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our small but growing engineering team. A great candidate will be able to demonstrate competency in Full-stack development, and will be at ease maintaining an Express + Mongo backend, working with ORMs and designing RESTful APIs. This role represents an opportunity to heavily influence product, workflow, and fundamental engineering principles on a current, relevant and flexible product as it grows to national scale. The ideal candidate will have a high level of expertise in product development, data engineering, and systems architecture, with a particular focus on B2B solutions.

The Product

Our platform helps home service businesses attract new customers by showcasing their work in the field through websites and website widgets. Our product is primarily TypeScript and React with a MERN-stack backend.
