Requirements
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for you if you’re an experienced full stack software engineer. More specifically, we’re looking for:
- Someone with experience working on both server- and client-side web software. You should understand how HTTP works, why Test Driven Development (TDD) is critical while writing code, what a modern day Javascript framework is ( ie. React or Vue), and how an MVC web framework works. That will probably mean you’ve been doing this stuff for 5+ years.
- Someone who has some understanding of fundamental computer science concepts. That doesn’t mean you have a CS degree, but you should be able to describe the differences between an array and an object.
- Someone familiar with SQL and databases in general (including non-relational databases and modern cloud database solutions). You should know how to do CRUD operations, what indexes are and why they matter, and what a join statement is.
- Someone who’s interested in exploring technical SEO best practices to increase organic traffic and boost search rankings. Familiarity with content optimization, website structure, or performance enhancements is a plus but not required. Extra points if you are interested in exploring AI-driven tools for automated insights!
- Bonus: Interest in exploring AI solutions to understand and optimize user behaviors across the journey would be a great addition to the team!
Our tech stack and software development process:
Most of our software is written in PHP (Laravel) and JavaScript (React, React Native, and Vue). You’ll work with these languages and possibly more as we continue to grow. We’re not worried about checking off boxes for specific languages. As long as you have a background with any mainstream object-oriented language and have a foundation of engineering fundamentals, we believe you can get up to speed with any similar language quickly.
We believe you should be empowered to own the entire life of your software, from the initial design through release and observing. And we believe you should be responsible for that software’s continued health. After all, that’s what really matters — the software needs to work correctly so users can get what they want quickly and efficiently.
All team members at LawnStater are expected to embody our core values which are: Be data-driven, Get shit done, People are critical, Challenge the status quo, Be scrappy, and Build a great environment.
Benefits- Great Culture: One of the top places to work in Austin in 2018, 2019, and 2020, and in the US in 2021, we are all about the team. That’s why we have spent a massive amount of time finding humble, passionate, and smart folks that you will get to work with every day.
- Work from the comfort of your own home
- Opportunity for growth
- 60-80K USD annually, depending on experience
