The Team

You would be joining our growing technology team. We are dedicated to the creation and ongoing enhancement of our public websites and backend tools. The team is dispersed across the continental United States and entirely remote.

We are responsible for the development and optimization of all technologies (ETL, API, public sites, tools) across the organization. This responsibility includes both the programming and delivery of new requests as well as the identification of new optimizations to our business and technology stack.

The team plays a central role in the organization, collaborating with every department. This collaboration manifests itself in helping to shape incoming ideas, as well as propose solutions to other challenges in our business.

The Role

We are looking for a mid-level Javascript Engineer to join our team and help us build the future of data-driven alternative investing. In this role, you will be building new features as well as maintaining existing codebases for our portfolio of public websites and tools.

New work will be developed in Vue/Nuxt and Tailwind CSS, connecting to our backend APIs. In addition, you will support bug fixes and feature enhancement as needed on our existing WordPress instances.

You will play an active role in determining a feature’s specification, level-of-effort, and deadlines.

Your work will be overseen by a senior member of the team. This oversight will both ensure features align to expectations as well as provide mentorship and career development. In turn, you will be expected to provide the same mentorship and career development to more junior members of the team.

Based on the needs of the task or project and your experience level, you may find yourself working alongside other developers, or at times, working alone.

You will also partner closely and learn from other roles in the organization, such as: research or investment analysts, data scientists, marketers, and product designers.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with other technologists, product leads, designers, and other team members to brainstorm new technical solutions that meet customer needs.
• Integrate API services with Vue.js based on front end needs.
• Mentor junior members of the development team through hands-on leadership, PR approvals, code reviews, and setting an example with best-in-class development.
