Senior Software Engineer

*tl;dr: Early-stage startup hiring remote Rails/React/etc developers (EU-timezones around GMT+1). We’re seeking to build the OS for circular commerce.*nnAt 8returns, we’re transforming one of the most frustrating, environmentally damaging and costly aspects of e-commerce returns. We built a technology that automates the returns process for retailers and makes data-driven decisions to connect each return to its best use.nnWe’re still in the scrappy startup phase, so we are looking for people who are comfortable with ambiguity and having wide impact. We’ve been remote-first since Day 1, and care a ton about communication, autonomy, curiosity, and initiative.nnWe have happy paying customers and just raised our first round of funding from industry leaders. Our team is highly experienced, and has started and sold companies before. We also love learning from each other, and are looking for people who bring a new set of experiences and backgrounds to our team.nnWhy you might be excited about usnn- We’re working to solve a massive global problem – 10 billion pounds of returns end up in landfills every year and for retailers its a trillion-dollar problem.n- We’re small, so you’ll be able to contribute efficiently and without bureaucracy. You’ll quickly have responsibility over big areas of our product. You’ll also help build our company’s culture.n- We don’t have a ton of meetings. If we can effectively solve a problem asynchronously, we do. When we do meet synchronously, you’ll always have the opportunity to contribute.n- You’ll be able to work remotely and set your own schedule. We don’t micro-manage and will help you do great work. Most of our engineers work EU hours, but organize their work day to be whatever’s best for them.n- We will mould your role to shape a career you’re excited about. We care a ton about your satisfaction and job happiness, and will help prep you for whatever you’re looking for in the future.n- We work hard and also highly value balanced work/life. We care about family and your own personal development, and don’t expect for you to be always engaged with work.nnWhy you might *not* be excited about usnn- We’re small (~10 people in the company now), so if you like more established companies, it’s not (yet) the right time. Since we’re an early stage startup, projects and priorities may shift.n- Our customers love us, *and* there’s a lot we can improve. It’s a great place to be, but means there’s some technical debt.n- We can’t (yet) provide close mentorship for junior developers, especially as we’re remote and small. As we grow, we’ll get a lot better at this.n- Since you’ll have a lot of responsibility and creativity over projects, they may not be defined perfectly initially. You’ll be expected to bring your own experience and perspective to help us do the right things, and raise flags if you think we should do things differently.nnWho you arenn- You worked remotely before, or know that you’d work well with a remote team.n- Ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environmentn- 3+ years of experience developing high performance web applicationsn – If you want to focus on frontend, experience with React is a big plusn – If you want to focus on backend, strong knowledge of Ruby on Rails and experience designing maintainable systems, APIs, and integrations are greatn- You are able to decide what aspects of products need to be perfected and when to cut corners to ship fasternnThe main app is built with Ruby on Rails and React. We use Postgres, Heroku, AWS. While previous experience with these technologies is a plus, were looking for someone with broad experience.nnIf we think you might be a good fit, we’ll respond within 48 hours. nnPlease mention the word TENDER when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMTk5LjI0NC42MC4zNw==). This is a feature to avoid spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they’re human.nn nn#Salary and compensationn $70,000 $100,000/yearn
