Role
Who you are
- Our frontend stack consists of React, Redux, NextJS
- Our backend stack is an SOA mostly written in Golang, with a NodeJS GraphQL and orchestration layer
- Postgresql is our source of truth, and we deploy into AWS via Kubernetes
- Highly qualified candidates will have real production experience with much of our stack, and a healthy appetite to learn the unfamiliar parts quickly
- 1-5 years of experience as a full-stack engineer in an established codebase
- Empathy for the people who worked on the code base before you
- A passion for solving problems, and building features, for our users
- Exposure to our core technologies of React, GraphQL, Golang, and Postgresql. Well-qualified candidates for this role will demonstrate proficiency in at least two of these areas
- Ability to partner with other engineers and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
- Knowledge of developing RESTful APIs and maintaining SLAs
What the job involves
- Paperless Post is seeking a mid-level full-stack software engineer to build and maintain end-to-end product experiences within a streamlined, agile software environment
- Our flagship application is built on a complex network of over 200M hosts and guests, and receives over 5M unique visitors per month
- In this role, you'll work within a dedicated product team to craft new features and iterate on existing ones
- Collaborate with other engineers to seamlessly develop and maintain new and existing features in our host management platform
- Develop maintainable, reliable, and scalable enterprise-level, web- and services-based software
- Contribute primarily to a React (NextJS) application, and underlying NodeJS and Golang services, with occasional forays into Ruby
- Adhere to architectural standards within an SOA environment
- Deploy regular code releases to production and test environments in Agile release cycles
Our take
Sending invitations to events can be tedious and time-consuming, and outsourcing design can be expensive too. Paperless Post solves this problem with its technology-led, design-first approach.
Paperless Post first launched in 2009, and since then it has become a clear market leader in a field cluttered with fairly simple design and printing tools. Part of its success stems from its early adoption of mobile phones as a platform - while initially optimized for desktop use the company worked hard to develop its platform for mobile users.
This has allowed Paperless Post to consolidate its growth in spite of market changes over the years. It will need to continue to develop its partnerships and technology in order to fend off new competitors, but its unique designs and understanding of communication trends indicate that the company is still ahead of the curve.
