ABOUT THIS POSITION

We’re looking for an experienced and enthusiastic NodeJS Engineer to join our App Team who will focus primarily on extending, scaling, and improving our Core API and internal tools API. You will work closely with a talented and caring group of fellow API engineers, client developers, product managers, and software architects.

When it comes to the cliche interview question of “are you more of a front end or back end developer,” this is definitely the role for the pure NodeJS camp. Our team is searching for someone who gets excited about integrating the latest and best API practices, is passionate about server performance, and is always prepared for the next level of traffic growth.

The Engineering team thrives on collaboration and respect while pushing each other intellectually. We ask the same of any new hire and are always excited to see what creative ideas and processes each new engineer brings to the table.
