As a junior software engineer at Clerky, you will:
- Maintain and add features to our Middleman and Gitbook sites
- Maintain our builds and continuous integration setups
- Investigate bugs and sporadic test failures
- Implement features and fix bugs in our main application
- Work with top-notch senior engineers (all of us have 10+ years experience)
This is a great fit if you want to work:
- ... at a product-driven company bringing an old-fashioned industry into the future
- ... on a complex product, with a ton of engineering challenges
- ... on a well-loved product with a lot of usage and visibility in the startup community
- ... in a company that strongly values good software development practices
- ... at a financially sound company
- ... with bright people who are extremely passionate about their work
- ... where you'll be a key early software engineer
Notes on our stack and process:
- Our backend is mostly in Ruby on Rails, with very small amounts of Scala and Go as well.
- Our front-end is mostly in Ember.
- We use CI extensively for linting, tests, visual diffs, and deployment.
- We're not religious about any particular technology - we believe in using the right tool for a given problem.
- Strong ability to learn on your own. You will receive some mentorship and guidance from our senior software engineers, but you should expect to learn mostly on your own.
- Discipline and patience to write clean code and use best practices. We are unlike most startups and write code to last - we do not rapidly iterate on prototypes.
This position is 100% remote. We are happy to support an H-1B visa application after 2 years of employment.
