(Mid-level) Full-Stack Software Engineer - Paperless Post

Paperless Post is seeking a mid-level full-stack software engineer to build and maintain end-to-end product experiences within a streamlined, agile software environment. Our flagship application is built on a complex network of over 200M hosts and guests, and receives over 5M unique visitors per month.

In this role, you'll work within a dedicated product team to craft new features and iterate on existing ones. Our frontend stack consists of React, Redux, NextJS. Our backend stack is an SOA mostly written in Golang, with a NodeJS GraphQL and orchestration layer. Postgresql is our source of truth, and we deploy into AWS via Kubernetes. Highly qualified candidates will have real production experience with much of our stack, and a healthy appetite to learn the unfamiliar parts quickly.

A little bit about us

The PP Engineering team, a highly collaborative group of developers and technologists, is charged with building and refining a consumer-facing product that millions of people interact with each month. The team you’ll be joining focuses on the highest priority projects across our product domains and is made up of engineers, product managers, QA, and product designers.  We prioritize creativity and continuing education, and our ongoing commitment to quality code shows in our pragmatic yet brave approach to technology.

What you’ll do here

• Collaborate with other engineers to seamlessly develop and maintain new and existing features in our host management platform.
• Develop maintainable, reliable, and scalable enterprise-level, web- and services-based software.
• Contribute primarily to a React (NextJS) application, and underlying NodeJS and Golang services, with occasional forays into Ruby.
• Adhere to architectural standards within an SOA environment.
• Deploy regular code releases to production and test environments in Agile release cycles.

What you bring to the table

• 1-5 years of experience as a full-stack engineer in an established codebase.
• Empathy for the people who worked on the code base before you.
• A passion for solving problems, and building features, for our users.
• Exposure to our core technologies of React, GraphQL, Golang, and Postgresql. Well-qualified candidates for this role will demonstrate proficiency in at least two of these areas.
• Ability to partner with other engineers and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of developing RESTful APIs and maintaining SLAs.

Company-wide, we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and a balance of engineers and designers. Because Paperless Post isn't supported by ad revenue, we can focus our efforts on creating and improving on the ideal version of our platform, product, content, and partnerships for our users. 

We are proud that Paperless Post has helped over 200 million people globally connect in the real world since our inception. Paperless Post exists to help all people celebrate all the moments that matter to them. We believe that having a team reflective of the diverse world around us empowers us to create a product that serves everyone. Women, people of color, trans/genderqueer individuals, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are especially encouraged to apply.

The compensation range for this role is $115,000 - 135,000 USD.
