Role
Who you are
- You love speaking to users to understand how the product can be improved
- You need to ship stuff quick, learn about it, then iterate on it
- You’ve got experience architecting and building APIs
- You’ve got experience working with databases in production (we use Postgres & Mysql)
- You’re well versed in AWS and what it has to offer
- Infrastructure as code is an imperative in your workflow
- You care about how code is shipped
- You’ve owned code running in production and you have views about the tools you need to make sure it's running as intended
- This role might not be right for you if…
- You need well crafted tickets written by a product manager to get stuff done
- You would prefer to perfect a feature than to get it shipped and learn from it
- Want to work with languages other than Typescript/Node (we’re not in a position to adopt new languages right now)
What the job involves
- Contributing to the development of our user facing product
- Helping turn product ideas into real life features
- Building backend infrastructure (APIs, event based systems, databases)
- Collaborating on projects from conception to completion and iteration
- Thinking about the way we ship code to production (CI/CD)
- Learning and growing through collaboration with the more experienced developers on the team
- Planning the work that the engineering team does
- Working with other pack members at PetsApp (customer success, marketing, sales)
- Helping the team continuously improve processes and ways of working
- Predominantly a Typescript ecosystem (Node JS, React)
Application process
- First, there's a 30 minute call with a PetsApp engineer
- Secondly, a longer call with an engineer and Will, our CTO
- Finally, an hour talking through our culture with Thom, our CEO
