Do you love JavaScript? We JS at UrbanStems. We're looking for a Director of Engineering to come lead our small but nimble developer team. We are creating the best customer experience in the floral industry, which starts with unparalleled technology. Our dev team is fast-paced, data-driven, & innovative. We work closely with our creative, product, operations, customer happiness, and marketing teams to bring our technical ideas to life.
What You'll Do - Collaborate closely with the CEO and other team leads to create dev team priorities - Set the technical vision and roadmap for the company - Rollout infrastructure incorporating CI/CD - Lead development of a stable backend/API that puts the customer experience above all else - Lead a team of developers with up to date and relevant knowledge - Work on various front end applications - libraries/frameworks don't matter. - Help optimize processes for operations/logistics - Have extensive say in not only technical but also business decisions - We're a startup - when it comes down to it, you’re able to roll up your sleeves and contribute wherever needed
About You - Demonstrable projects and results from 7+ years of relevant experience - Experience managing a team of developers - Experience with Agile processes (Scrum, Kanban, etc) - Full Stack Experience. If your front-end skills are lacking, your backend knowledge is stellar. - Experience designing and interacting with RESTful APIs - Database (SQL) familiarity specifically with PostgreSQL and Redis - Advanced Linux knowledge - Worked with a VCS like Git or Mercurial - Knowledge of a variety of languages is desired and encouraged: JS, Python, Ruby, Go, Elixir, and others - Self starter within a team structure - Strong communications skills around how they’re doing, thought process, and general ideas - we prefer over-communication

UrbanStems, a same-day flower delivery e-commerce experience, is looking primarily for mid to senior level backend developers. We are vertically integrated with our own supply chain, fulfillment & delivery, and customized e-commerce platform optimized for a great customer experience. As you can imagine, technology plays an important part at every step of that process. We're looking for more engineers/developers to help build out features for our internal usage and for our customers' delight. You'd have a lot of say and room to experiment. Our API is primarily in NodeJS. Our front-end is a React/Redux application. We absolutely love PostgreSQL with PostGIS and Redis. Lambdas are becoming a new favorite for services. A full stack developer would be ideal but if you're more comfortable with the backend then that's totally okay (i.e. if you're focused on front end dev, this position isn't going to be interesting for you. But reach out to me in the fall).
We'll pay for relocation if you aren't in the DC area.
4+ years of experience
- Backend languages: NodeJS/Python/Ruby/<insert language here>
- Datastores: PostgreSQL (or SQL in-general), Redis, etc
- Building APIs (internal/external)
- General understanding of DevOps
(Awesome to have) 1+ years
- Front end JS (React/Backbone/Angular/etc)
- HTML/CSS knowledge

That's absurd. I've seen numerous articles in online entertainment media sites (e.g. People, US Mag, TMZ, Buzzfeed) that are solely made up of embedded tweets. CNN and MSNBC (and even Fox News) reference tweets all the time. Maybe Twitter as a company has failed to monetize the platform properly and shareholders have taken a loss but to downplay Twitter's cultural impact seems largely misguided.
