When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.

About Zuplo
Zuplo is building the first developer-focused API Management solution. We are a small team of developers that are passionate about building amazing developer experiences. Zuplo was founded 18 months ago and is well financed. We move fast, we ship code, and each team member is responsible for owning a significant portion of our product. At Zuplo, you are given challenging problems and expected to solve them both independently and collaboratively with the team.
We are a fully remote company, but we do like to get together usually twice per year. Ealier this year we all flew to Cancun Mexico for an all-company offsite. We do prefer that everyone has some overlapping work hours in order to collaborate but we are flexible. As a company, we try to keep meetings to an absolutely minimum and prefer ad-hoc collaboration.
Every employee is provided a top of the line Macbook Pro plus $1000 in expenses to build out your office. We have an unlimited vacation policy with some gently enforced minimums (i.e. we require everyone to take reasonable time off each year). Every employee will receive a fair salary and equity in the company. Employees in the United States receives top-quality health, dental, and vision. In other countries we will work with you to ensure that you have high quality healthcare.
About the Role
We are looking for somebody who can take an ownership role in our primary web app (portal.zuplo.com). This tool is used by our customers to configure and code their API gateways - you can think of it as an admin portal with a light-weight IDE built in. The portal is written in React so previous experience is a plus, but not required. The right candidate for this role is not somebody who just builds features and fixes bugs. This role requires somebody capable of guiding the overall architecture of the portal to ensure it stays performant and that we can continue to ship new features quickly. You will work with other UI developers to ensure best-practices are followed, you will review pull requests, and you will help design new features. Additionally, you will work closely with backend engineers to build the right APIs and systems to support the portal - and help to build them in some cases.
As a rapidly growing company, your job will change from day to day. We expect everyone to jump in and help out when needed. This might mean taking on a customer support ticket, writing documentation, or helping debug a production incident. Everyone at Zuplo shares responsibilities and works together toward a common goal.
Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply unless they meet all the job criteria. We aren’t looking for someone who ticks every single box on a page; we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. If you think you’d be a great fit, then please get in touch to tell us about yourself.
Zuplo is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Zuplo conducts all employment-related activities without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, citizenship status, genetics, or status as a Vietnam-era special disabled and other covered veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
