Yardstik | https://www.yardstik.com/ | Staff Engineer | Minneapolis or San Francisco (remote possible) Yardstik is on a mission to reduce workforce risk through tools like background checks, identity verification, fraud monitoring and more. We are a well capitalized fast growing company based in Minneapolis but with a distributed workforce. We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to help us build a brand new line of Risk products. This isn’t just a heads-down coding role. You’d be leading the technical direction for an entirely new product category — shaping the architecture, making key system decisions, and working closely with Product and Go-To-Market to bring it all to life. We’re a Ruby on Rails shop, so if you’ve got deep experience with Rails (and opinions on how to scale it well), you’ll feel right at home. You’ll have a ton of ownership, real input into the roadmap, and the chance to build something from the ground up that truly helps our customers reduce risk in smarter ways.
