Teespring (YC W13) Is Hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer
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 fulfil 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 the most!

What is the job?
All engineers participate in paired programming about 50% of the time, along with code reviews 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:
Your team-mates will look to you for technical advice, guidance, and mentorship
You will have architected and led the creation of a significant piece of a team’s technology
Our collaborative environment and training budget will have substantially enriched your technical abilities: you speak as an expert in your field at conferences and meetups.

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

What do we need?
Software engineer ready to build highly visible apps - ideally Ruby or Open Source experience
Obsessed with figuring out solutions to complex problems, passionate to learn new technologies and systems
Ability to raise the skill level of teammates, spot user pain-points, and craft a solution
Good intuition for weighing trade-offs, adapting to architectures, and meeting craftsman level code
Skilled in Ruby/Rails or Open Source, JavaScript and frameworks, and TDD

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
