Role

Who you are

Strong foundational knowledge of software development
Relentless curiosity to learn new things and receptive to feedback
Experience with modern web application development, using TypeScript (or JavaScript), ReactJS, GraphQL, Node.js Vite, NestJS, and/or Hasura
Experience with schema design and relational databases such as PostgreSQL
Professional experience shipping cloud-based software products to market is a PLUS
Experience with cloud and serverless infrastructure (GCP, AWS or Azure) is a PLUS
Hands-on experience with microservices, containerization (Docker), and CI/CD (Github Actions) is a PLUS
Haven’t worked with some of our specific technologies? No problem, a deep experience with web technologies and willingness to learn our tech stack goes a long way

What the job involves

Solving technical challenges and building features as we work towards growing the Barley platform
Collaborating closely with other engineers and product in an agile environment
Building with a strong orientation towards data schemas, analytics, and database design
Taking initiative to understand “the why” of what you’re building, the business context, and user problems to propose improvements, eliminate gaps, and reduce risk

Application process

Stage 1: Screening Interview: This is a 45 minute Zoom meeting where we'll share more about the role, learn about your background / experience (and alignment to the position), and answer any questions you may have
Stage 2: Skills Interview: This is an hour and a half Zoom meeting that consists of a pair programming exercise with the Head of Engineering, a system design exercise, as well as technical questions to assess your experience
Stage 3: Case Interview & Meet the Founders Interview: This is an hour and a half Zoom meeting that consists of a logic exercise related to our space and discussing your experience and major accomplishments with one of the co-founders

Our take

Barley’s smart compensation platform allows companies to visualize their pay structure on a company scale to ensure that staff are fairly compensated. While every business has some form of compensation tracking system, Barley’s offers advantages – namely the ability to visualize pay bands at scale, and gauge employee compensation expectations.

Given the well documented skills shortage and “Great Resignation” of the last few years, there’s more pressure than ever on companies to give employees enough reasons to stay. Factor into that the long overdue move for gender, racial and ability-based pay equity, and a solution like Barley’s could prove very effective.

It’s early days for the 2021 launched startup, but with the successful entrepreneurial backgrounds of co-founders Jafar Owainati and William Mainguy, as well as the financial backing of Golden Ventures and leaders at Shopify and DMZ, the startup looks set for a period of rapid growth.
