Essential When it comes to web development, nothing stands in your way because you have all the tools for success on front-end, back-end, and all the pipes in between. This includes short and mid-term projects that will immediately move key company metrics as well as lay the technical foundation for long-term success. This is an exciting opportunity and a critical role for a very fast-growing brand. We believe that great digital experiences are an important part of any company’s success, and we think you'll agree. As a subscription service, we help our customers better invest in the products they’ve subscribed to, by reinforcing the habits that help them in their long-term mission. You’ll be a part of a strong digital product team of designers, product managers, and data analysts to continuously add to and improve our customers’ experiences online at scale. What You’ll Do Help lead the design, architecture, and execution of everything from front to back. Establish engineering processes, define company engineering standards, identify and implement core technologies, and remove technical hurdles. Work directly with our other Engineers, Designers, Product, and Marketing teams to implement core features across our customers’ experiences. Build solutions for appropriate scalability. You're ok building something "hacky" if it fits the need, but can also call out real issues and create simple, scalable solutions for them. What You’ll Use Our homepage (marketing pages) use React, Gatsby, GraphQL, and Contentful headless CMS. Our checkout + account experiences use Ember, JSONAPI, and work directly with our Rails API. Our back-end is a Rails API that handles everything from account creation, payments, all the way through to fulfillment.
