We’re looking for an experienced full-stack engineer to join our small team and contribute to the development of a new product through their creativity, architecture, and coding skills. You will almost immediately own large pieces of our green-field development on an innovative personalized wedding invitation product we will be launching in early 2017. There are some really chunky problems here: 3-D rendering at scale in the cloud, using recommender systems/machine learning to generate cards that are unique but can be produced at scale, and building a highly scalable web architecture from day one.

Our technology stack is microservice based with back-end services in Clojure and Rails and front-end single page applications in Ember.js. We use AWS heavily and are building for high-availability and operational maturity from day one. We approach our development with a strong eye towards TDD on both the front-end and back-end.

Responsibilities include:

• Own key functionality in our technical platform through its entire lifecycle (working with product/stakeholders to flesh out definition, architect, discuss design trade-offs and technology decisions, build it in a principled TDD manner, own its release and maintenance
• Bring your expertise in a bunch of cool technologies/architectures. We are still a young team and are looking for people passionate about technology who can contribute to setting and solidifying our technical direction for years to come
• Ship code - you should be someone who has a history of driving projects to completion in quick, iterative ways

You'll be great if you:

• Have a strong background in any of: Functional programming (Clojure, F#, Scala), Service- / Microservice- oriented design in any OO language, AWS cloud architecture (we ship containers behind a unified API using a whole bunch of Amazon products to minimize our operations overhead while we are still getting to market), Full-stack web development including modern web frameworks (Ember, React, etc.)
• Have a strong understanding of common development patterns, data structures, and algorithms (e.g. all that CS101 stuff)
• Are strong at communicating both with a highly technical engineering team and business partners
• Are looking for a job where you work on an exciting and tangible consumer product that your friends and family will understand (and love)

Requirements:

• Undergrad or graduate degree, CS degree strongly preferred
• 3+ years of software development experience, ideally on a fast-moving lean/agile development team
• Have owned, and succeeded at delivering, a key component or system for a product that was successfully launched
