ConvertKit | Senior Full-stack Engineer | REMOTE ConvertKit is looking for a Senior Full-stack engineer. Come join our amazing, rapidly growing company! * We are a 100% remote company, scattered across 8 states and 4 countries. There is no central office. * Bootstrapped, profitable, and growing very quickly (See for yourself - https://convertkit.baremetrics.com) No VC nonsense. * We put a high emphasis on work / life balance, and we value and strive for 40 hour work weeks. * We have a positive, vibrant, and genuine culture. (see https://charlimarie.com/2017/02/06/finding-my-place) About the role You'll be part of our awesome engineering team, helping to build our product. We primarily use Rails, Mysql, Redis and Sidekiq to get the job done. We're facing real (fun) scaling challenges because of our incredible growth. Ideally you've been there, done that before. We're also looking for someone who cares deeply about writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code, and generally tends to leave code in a better state than when they encountered it. About you You’re a perfect fit for this role if you’ve got experience developing software, love pragmatic OO design for its long-term cost benefits, and testing. Clean code is not just a phrase for you. Given our high rate of growth, you'll need to have strong knowledge of scaling Rails applications up. Benefits * 3 weeks paid vacation, 7 paid holidays, and 3 sick days / year. 4 weeks paid vacation after a year of employment. * The team gathers twice a year in-person for fantastic team retreats (https://youtu.be/1L0en33hfqI) * Excellent Health benefits. * 8 weeks paid maternity / 4 weeks paid paternity leave. * $2500 equipment allowance given every 2 years. * 4% matching 401k. * Conference credit. * $1,000 yearly vacation bonus. * Profit sharing!
