Signpost is a rapidly growing startup that helps local businesses succeed by automating as much of their marketing as we can. We're solving a big problem in a huge market and we're backed by some of the smartest investors out there, including Google Ventures and Spark Capital.

Our engineering culture is collaborative and driven and emphasizes continuous improvement of ourselves, our systems, and our organization. If you’re looking to join a passionate and slightly quirky team of top-notch engineers – not brogrammers – at a fast-moving company where you can learn, grow, and have real technical ownership, you’ve come to the right place.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll be working on extending, improving and scaling systems and applications built primarily in Node.js. While we’re definitely not expecting you to be a Node expert when you walk in the door, we will expect you to:

• Work with engineers and product managers to write clean, well-tested code
• Collaborate with product managers and QA engineers to find and fix bugs
• Perform diligent, timely code reviews for your peers, while taking their feedback as an opportunity to learn and improve
• Participate in our interview process to select and attract outstanding talent
• Help engineering leadership to constantly improve
• Exemplify our culture of technical excellence

You should: 

• Have well-honed technical problem solving and analytical skills
• Be proficient in one or more high-level languages like Python, Ruby, Java, or C++
• Have a strong command of CS fundamentals - even if you don’t use it every day
• Get excited about adding more tools and techniques to your repertoire
• Be able to articulate technical concepts clearly and concisely
• Appreciate agility and pragmatism in software development
• Thrive in a startup environment - where we’re making it up as we go
• Want to build a great product and love your job
• Be a team player with a can-do attitude

We would love you to: 

• Have an unquenchable thirst for new knowledge
• Always be striving to take your skills to the next level
• Know that building secure systems is an endless battle
• Understand how your code works down to the silicon
• Know that investing in developing solid tests pays for itself quickly
• Know that the root of all evil isn't love of money, it’s premature optimization
• Be active in the open source community (send us your GitHub handle or tech blog)
