This is a 100% remote job.

Groupthink is built with React, Laravel, NodeJS, Postgres, and AWS. Software development at Groupthink is managed with Github and Groupthink - simple tickets, attached to the relevant repo, with lots of roadmap and tickets to work on at any given moment. 

Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll report to Jonathan (cofounder/CEO) alongside a small scrappy team of software engineers who develop Groupthink. You'll regularly interact with the other engineers, the UI designer, product managers, and the co-founders. You'll implement features on the frontend based on APIs built by others, create APIs that may be implemented on the frontend by another engineer, and also build end-to-end features. 

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for building new features, addressing bugs and technical debt, refining technical designs and architecture, making on-the-fly design decisions for 0-to-1 features design hasn't had a chance to touch yet, and generally being a very startup-y engineer.

You may also find yourself functioning as a "lead" at times collaborating on day-to-day management activities including unblocking other engineers, reviewing PRs, writing issues, assessing technical debt, planning sprints, expanding the product roadmap, and recruiting talented team members to join.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience working on product-focused software engineering teams. What makes this role "senior" is less about the years worked and more about your ability to exercise independent judgement, move fast, have opinions about the next move and be able to bring others along, and to help people get unstuck. You should be at the point in your career where you are someone other people want to emulate, but aren't arrogant about that.

- You've worked in a startup that is pre-product/market fit
