I created this sub-publication to share roles that might be interesting to my coaching and workshop clients. Mostly one job a day, mostly remote, mostly hiring for other roles as well, and always interesting.
Excerpt:
BackerKit enables creators worldwide to focus on doing what they love: creating! For over a decade, our software has been the premier platform for crowdfunding post-project management. Two years ago we added a complimentary offering: our own crowdfunding platform. With enthusiastic uptake from the creator community, we’re now the first true one-stop shop for crowdfunding creators.
We have a small-yet-effective distributed engineering team. We are looking for a Staff-level software developer (an individual contributor) to take us to the next level. Perhaps that is you!
Some of the things a Staff Software Developer will do here:
-
Align with the Head of Engineering on priorities and initiatives
-
Cultivate and sustain team working culture and philosophies
-
Make important technical decisions that have sweeping consequences for our customers and the business
-
Serve as the go-to person for tough technical issues
-
Develop both a macro- and micro-level understanding of the codebase
-
Rotate through pair programming with all the members of the development team, to help level everyone up
-
Mentor and champion less-experienced developers
-
Communicate, communicate, communicate! This is not a role with lots of heads-down solo work
-
Understand our users. Everyone at BackerKit is customer-facing, and we expect everyone to get to know the project creators and backers that we are serving (plus, they are awesome, just like you!)
-
Take actual breaks and vacations – no off-hours or weekend work except when the app experiences unforeseen issues (which does not happen often)
