How you can help
Were looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join us for the July - December 2021 Co-Op season, who will be comfortable working across our stack. Our backend is mostly Ruby and of course there is JavaScript on the frontend. The backend includes APIs consumed by the frontend as well as a backend processing pipeline. We want to bring junior engineers to the team who are comfortable working independently with a remote team.
This team
We want a team where everyone cares about users, design, building a business, and one another. Were also aiming for work-life harmony: we believe in doing good work, with urgency and pragmatism, but at a sustainable pace. We value big impact as opposed to long hours.
Our values
Were trying to build a healthy, values-driven culture. We want to be:
- Optimistic: We see an amazing future ahead, and want to inspire others to share in it. This is both internalbuilding each other up and looking for the best in peopleand externalwe know open source is awesome, and we want to make it even better.
- Practical: We know words and ideas alone wont change lives. We help people most by creating a pragmatic, viable, and sustainable business that works for everyone. So we care about usability, design, and honest assessment of costs and benefits.
- Additive: We want an environment that encourages and inspires growth, both for individuals and for the open source community as a whole. That means embracing a growth mindset, and valuing culture add over culture fit.
- Inclusive: We believe technology will be stronger when it better reflects the voices and ideas of society as a whole. So we want people from different backgrounds and experiences to not just be represented, but to be heard, valued, and flourish. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment.
How we work
In this role, you would have the option to work remotely anywhere in the US. Our team is distributed-by-default and our practices and tools reflect this.
We believe in the urgency of our mission and the importance of doing good work, but also know this is a marathon and not a sprint. Hours can be flexible within reason if necessary to meet personal needs (like child, medical, or elder care).
