<h2>Tasks</h2>
Why you might be excited about us
<ul>
<li>We're working to solve a massive global problem - 10 billion pounds of returns end up in landfills every year and for retailers it’s a trillion-dollar problem.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>We will mold 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.</li>
<li>We work hard and also highly value balanced work/life. We care about family and your own personal development, and don't expect you to be always engaged with work.</li>
</ul>
Why you might not be excited about us
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
Who you are
<ul>
<li>You worked remotely before, or know that you'd work well with a remote team.
</li>
<li>Ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environment
</li>
<li>3+ years of experience developing high performance web applications 
</li>
<li>If you want to focus on frontend, experience with React is a big plus
</li>
<li>If you want to focus on backend, strong knowledge of Ruby on Rails and experience designing maintainable systems, APIs, and integrations are great
</li>
<li>You are able to decide what aspects of products need to be perfected and when to cut corners to ship faster
</li>
</ul>
The main app is built with Ruby on Rails and React. We use Postgres, Heroku, AWS. While previous experience with these technologies is a plus, we’re looking for someone with broad experience.

Senior Software Engineer (Rails / React)
