Skills & Requirements


We're looking for someone who can comfortably work on whole features/stories independently, covering both front-end and back-end concerns.

Bonus skills/experience:


  • Social Media APIs (Facebook, Twitter, etc)
  • Serverless.com framework and AWS Lambda experience
  • SOA and Microservices architecture, especially w/ RabbitMQ
  • React-Native experience
  • Previous remote work experience


Working Remote:


  • This is a 100% remote position, communication and self-direction are incredibly important
  • You'll need a dedicated workspace (with a door)
  • You must have a reliable high-speed internet connection (collaboration requires bandwidth)
