Backend Engineer
San Francisco, CA, Austin, TX
About the Role
Think of the last Pull Request you merged at your previous job. Likely, it was code that ran in a small corner of your company’s codebase, where its presence was appreciated but not noticed. At Hearth, your ideas and code will have a tremendous impact on the direction of our product, from the very first week. You will have opportunities to work on high impact projects that span across many departments.
You will mentor others, own complete feature implementations, and spearhead architectural choices. We are a close-knit team that gets things done while having fun doing so. Engineers are empowered to learn, solving open-ended problems and maximizing their own growth. We view the company as a conduit for employees to reach their highest potential in an environment that provides mutual benefit for both parties.
Here's what you'll do:
- Contribute to the codebase within your first week
- Ideate with other departments to better solve our customer's problems
- Build and own end-to-end solutions using a wide array of technologies
- Maintain existing systems to ensure high quality and scalability
Here's what we're looking for:
- 2+ years of technical experience
- Experience working with databases, cloud infrastructure, and backend MVC frameworks
- A passion for building scalable, DRY, and flexible solutions for a wide range of potential problems
- We use Ruby on Rails, React, React Native, Docker and are hosted on AWS. Experience in these technologies is encouraged, but not required.
Here’s what we value:
- Growth. Between hackathons, tech presentations, and weekly “Brain Gains,” we encourage each member to keep up to date and learn about the latest technologies and how we can leverage them.
- Ownership. We give you the context and resources necessary for you to feel empowered in what you build.
- Empathy. We can’t build the best product for our users unless we make time to understand their background and where they’re coming from.
Engineers work closely with every department in the organization — from sales and customer success to product and marketing. Come join a team that has an incredible impact on the success of the company!
