Underdog.io | New York | ONSITE | https://underdog.io
Underdog.io, a talent marketplace, is hiring a backend engineer in New York. This role will have ownership over backend and DevOps on our Python (Flask) and JavaScript-based stack. Underdog.io is a small, revenue-funded company where everyone’s contribution and decision-making is directly impactful. Ideal candidates have the skills and initiative to think deeply about everything from code quality to internal processes to the broader market in which we operate. Specifically, we’re looking for someone with:
- Server-side development experience in Flask or a similar framework (Django, Express, etc.).
- Client-side development experience, preferably using a JS library like React or AngularJS.
- A deep understanding of HTTP and RESTful API design.
- Familiarity with SQL databases (we use PostgreSQL) and general data modeling practices.
- Experience managing AWS environments and working with DevOps tools (Jenkins, Docker, etc.).
- A desire to contribute to open-source projects.

Underdog.io | Creative Technologist | New York, NY | ONSITE
Underdog.io is a curated talent marketplace headquartered in New York.
We're looking to hire a designer-developer to work with us on a 4-6 week project at full-time or mostly-full-time capacity. React experience and strong holistic design thinking are the only requirements, although we’re especially interested in working with people who are interested in designing for accessibility or disadvantaged communities. The project itself is a web application (not a marketing site) that will have be used by people who are looking for jobs. We are big on cultivating agency and helping people align with their values, so that will be a theme of our thinking and work.
We are thinking about this as a product residency where you will work and think with us at our office, fit into our product development process, and be supported completely through the project.
Please email me at chris at underdog.io if you're interested in finding out more.

Really took 6 months if you factor in design/marketing work.

Given the varying lengths of these immersives, I'd love to see a per week price comparison (or some sort of common unit $ comparison). That, plus non-inflated placement rates, would be helpful.
