Teespring (YC W13) Is Hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Teespring is a platform that makes it easy for anyone to create and sell high-quality products people love, with no cost or risk. Teespring powers all aspects of bringing merchandise to life from production and manufacturing to supply chain, logistics, and customer service.

A graduate of the Winter 2013 class Y-Combinator and backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Khosla Ventures, Teespring launched in 2012 and has helped its users sell over 12 million shirts in more than 80 countries.

Senior Full Stack Engineer

What does our team do?
Everything from a compelling experience for buyers, to a feature-rich platform for sellers, to a backend manufacturing pipeline to fulfill orders. At Teespring, “full stack” means anything from warehouse management systems to our 3rd party API to the number crunching analytics behind our campaign dashboards. It’s up to you to pick the challenge which excites you most!

What is the job?
All engineers participate in pair programming about 50% of the time, along with code review and thorough testing of both the backend and frontend code. Sprint planning is also a key part of the day-to-day job; deciding and executing on new features to build in each two week sprint. Engineers may also work on writing up feature specs so that the technical requirements are met before a feature is started.

This contributor will be a strong programmer with a leaning towards full-stack development. Substantial front ends skills are highly desired since most features have some user interface component. A strong working knowledge of Rails, and OOP will be especially useful, as Teespring has a large codebase and effectively architecting our code will enable us to continue to iterate quickly. Experience writing scalable code and queries will come in very handy!

We want people with the ability to bring new ideas to help drive innovation. Our employee philosophy: IDEAS - Innovative, Deliver, Empower, Authentic, Scrappy.

If you are successful in this role, a year from now you will:
Mentor other engineers towards technical excellence—in your team and across the company
Be established as a Pod Technical Lead and have made an impact on engineering efficiency
Have significant architectural ownership
Known thought leader on what it means to write Craftsman level code

Our Environment:
Modern Ruby + Rails Stack, TDD/BDD with RSpec/Cucumber, Redis, MySQL, Backbone.JS, React.JS, GO

What do we need?
Senior level software engineer ready to build highly visible apps - ideally in Ruby
Open Source contributors are preferred
Engineers who can raise the skill level of their teammates with a desire to give back - tech talks, lightning talks, etc..
Wide knowledge of web apps - scalability, growth, mentorship
Experience implementing Service Oriented Architecture or micro-services
Good intuition for weighing trade-offs

What do we offer?
Happiness is just as important to us as hard work. All startups in San Francisco offer the same perks, but what makes us different is our desire to completely change how the world thinks about apparel and custom e-commerce. That being said, here are the benefits you will receive:
Working with talented, collaborative, and entrepreneurial teams
Medical, dental and vision insurance for you, your family, or pet
Unlimited paid time off and 9 paid holidays
Generous stock options
Free catered lunch and dinner daily
