Men and Women Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success. - Edward Shackleton, explorer of the Antarctic Why be with company? We all know what a great neighborhood feels like. The sad reality is that every day, our neighborhoods are losing their character, authenticity, and sense of community. From Main Streets to Manhattan, our beloved local businesses are being pushed out at unprecedented rates, replaced with corporate brands or empty storefronts. America is losing its small business backbone - its diversity, energy, and competitive edge. All while there is a generational opportunity in commercial real estate directly ahead of us. We've been quietly and deliberately building withco to empower millions of small businesses to seize their opportunity to become their own landlords. And if we're successful, we'll have created not only the most financially impactful company of its time, but also neighborhoods that we're proud to live in. Join our mission to make it exciting to be a small business owner in America. We've raised $30M+ from the world's best investors, including Founders Fund, Canaan, NFX, BoxGroup, and angels like Ken Chenault, Danny Meyer, Venus Williams, Kevin Durant, and more. How you'll help us succeed: As a member of a small and highly collaborative engineering team, you'll problem-solve technical solutions across the business. From building engaging products for our customers to developing efficient tools for our internal team, you'll be involved with architecting, coding, and deploying products to production. Reporting to our Head of Engineering, you'll be mission-critical to withco, building the systems that help us scale our core product, and making the prospect of ownership a reality for small business owners in America. As we grow, you'll build the tooling that helps our small business partners compete with the likes of Whole Foods and Starbucks, and become even more connected with the neighborhood they serve. What you'll do:
- Collaborate and pair with other engineers and product managers to identify and problems solve challenges across the business
- Build high-quality products and tools in an agile fashion that support both our small business partners and our internal team
- Take ownership of high impact initiatives that improve our data quality, provide reliable access to that data, and help us make better decisions
- Shape our technical strategy, advocate for best practices, and spike out new technologies
What makes you a great fit:
- You have at least 5+ years of experience building high-quality web applications across the entire front end-to-back end stack
- You enjoy working in cross-functional teams, collaborating closely with product, design, and other areas of the business
- You value automated testing and implementing good testing practices (unit tests, test-driven development)
- You are comfortable with agile processes (e.g. XP, Scrum, Kanban) and engineering practices (e.g. CI/CD, test-driven development, pair programming)
- You approach problems in a thoughtful way - you value simplicity, justify technical decisions and articulate tradeoffs
