Senior Backend Engineer, Skylight

• You’re excited to be part of a self-motivated and capable team that prides itself on having a massive impact per employee
• You have a track record of architecting, implementing, testing, and maintaining reliable backend services
• You’re a first-rate communicator in both code and human language, contributing to deep technical discussions across team and tech stack boundaries
• You work closely with non-technical stakeholders to design and build features that make customers’ eyes light up and keep our bootstrapped business humming
• You’re great at figuring out how systems can work better and love having the autonomy to leave things better than you found them

Desirable

• We're seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to architect and build our internal tooling, collaborating closely with our retail, customer support, and data teams, as well as maintain key APIs and critical pieces of backend infrastructure
• This role is ideal for someone who wants to have a tremendous impact on the technical direction of the company, without the risk of joining an early stage startup that isn't profitable
• We have very few meetings and no bureaucracy. Just a ton of customers and beloved products that serve real needs for real families
• Our technical stack is primarily Ruby on Rails, along with a few JavaScript and TypeScript Lambda functions. We’re currently running Rails 8.0 and Ruby 3.4 (we like to keep up to date!) and have a comprehensive test suite that runs in under two minutes. Experience in these technologies is great, but our bottom-line requirements are simple
