\nHello!\n\nThanks for taking a look at the job description for  Backend Engineer at Impala. We felt a little bit impersonal just throwing you right in there with words like “revolutionizing” and “disrupting”.\n\nAs such, we want you to know that the person that wrote this job description apologises in advance for any clichés, tropes or sudden-insecurity-driven-panic-attacks that you might find in the description below.\n\nWhat Is Impala Now?\n\nImpala makes building travel software incredibly easy. We provide hotels with a powerful data management platform that makes connecting to software, hardware and room distributors extremely easy. Think Twilio for Travel.\n\nWe launched in January 2019 and since then have grown at - quite frankly - a ridiculous old clip. Our technology is already installed in hundreds of hotels worldwide, on six continents and categorises more than 1 billion data points.\n\nWe are a team 30 exceptional people split across engineering, product and commercial that have built a fantastic community.\n\nWhere Is Impala Going?\n\nWe’re supported by some of the best investors in the business, the early stage backers behind Deliveroo, PillPack, SecretEscapes, Zoopla, Trivago and more. They’re on board because of our vision - revolutionizing a $1.6 trillion dollar market that’s been out-of-date for 20 years.\n\nWithin the next two years, 25% of hotel bookings worldwide will flow through Impala technology and the product that we’re building will support the entire ecosystem of travel technology (we already have over a thousand companies signed up).\n\nAnyone travelling anywhere will interact with products powered by Impala and to achieve this we’re growing the team to 50 people within the next year.\n\nWhat Will I Be Doing?\n\nBrace yourself for some bullet points:\n\n\n* Work within one of our agile teams developing Data Acquisition technology or working on our core API platform (team members change team frequently).\n\n* Mentor other team members through pair programming, code reviews, and ad-hoc assistance.\n\n* Work closely with our Product teams to ensure that the technology we’re building is right for the needs and demands of our customers.\n\n* Have significant decision making power on the technologies and architecture that we use to build the platform.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Sort of Person Are You Looking For?\n\n\n* An experienced Javascript developer, with proven success deploying and maintaining production services.\n\n* Someone who is comfortable working on greenfield projects, drawing on experience to choose technologies that suit the projects requirements.\n\n* Knowledge of unit and integration testing tools and techniques.\n\n* Experience working with AWS, the Elastic Stack, Docker and Git.\n\n* Experience with SQL and No-SQL databases, (we use PostgreSQL & MongoDB).\n\n\n\n\nWhere Will I Work?\n\nThis is a remote position (all of our engineering team and some of our other staff members are distributed). This means you can work from anywhere +/- 2 Hours of London, timezone wise (and less than a 3 hour flight). As part of that:\n\n\n* We offer an office stipend (you can furnish a home office or choose a coworking space near you).\n\n* We give you an additional significant start-up equipment budget for things like monitors, keyboards, headphones etc.\n\n* You’ll travel once a quarter to meet the rest of the engineering team somewhere in Europe.\n\n* You’ll have a budget to travel to team socials if you’d like to meet everyone in person more frequently.\n\n\n\n\nPlease note, we only accept candidates in Western Europe because of timezone and travel time differences. We make no exceptions (we don’t have time to!).\n\nWhat Do You Offer In Return?\n\nAs a member of the Impala team, you’ll have access to:\n\n\n* Working with some of the best and brightest minds in their field, helping you to achieve the best that you can.\n\n* A culture that celebrates success, reliability and building a great community.\n\n* A top of market salary. If you’re truly great, we’ll pay what we need to.\n\n* Equity in an honest-to-god-could-buy-a-yacht-later company. Travel is a huge industry and infrastructure is a huge part of that.\n\n* A minimum of 36 days paid holiday per year. Unlimited holiday means you never take it, we just decided to give you a lot.\n\n* A professional development budget. That we make sure you spend with frequent PD sessions.\n\n* Generous maternity and paternity leave.\n\n* Health and wellbeing scheme. Including access to Headscape, Meditation/Stress management, Massage Lottery, Health Food Voucher etc.\n\n* A bunch of great benefits, like private health insurance, cheaper gym membership, cycle-to-work scheme, an everlasting friendship with the author of this post, annual “un-sick” day and many more. \n\n\n\n\nMore About Impala\n\nIf you’re really, really, really, really excited to learn more then please check out our Medium page which includes more information about who we are, what we do and our culture.\n\nFor more information on what it's like working here, check out our Glassdoor page.\n\nYou can also check out getimpala.com for more information about what we’re doing.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Engineer, Backend, JavaScript, API and Travel jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

\nChristian Care Ministry’s mission is to connect and equip Christians to share their lives, faith, talents, and resources with others. We primarily do so through Medi-Share, but as an association of churches, we’re rapidly expanding our “ministry portfolio” and we think technology will be at the center of accomplishing that goal. That’s where you come in. We need help creating and supporting applications (mobile + browser) for the future products and projects we’ve got in the proverbial “hopper.”\n\nBut before we go any further, you need to know if you’ll like working with us. We think you will.\n\nA bit about us: You already know the mission of Christian Care Ministry (CCM). We have about 580 employees in various states, but most of them are either at our headquarters in Melbourne, FL, or our Colorado Springs, CO branch. Medi-Share has been growing in every way imaginable since about 2010. It has become commonplace for our CFO to say things like “We’ve grown 30% year over year …again” at seemingly every quarterly employee town hall meeting. We’re extremely humbled and grateful to the Lord for the growth.\n\nChristian Care Ministry is a community of Christians that requires its employees to share its Christian religious beliefs and practices. CCM complies with all anti-discrimination laws applicable to religious employers. \n\nAbout the role: This position serves on the New Product Engineering Team in a Product Team setting. This small, sub-department of our IT team (which is currently under 10 people) is mostly remote. Their main focus has been making some dreams of the leadership team come true (well, at least the dreams that involve amazing code :). \n\nLife as an Employee with CCM’s New Product Engineering Team: We work really hard to make working here an amazing experience. It’s hard to find great talent like you, but if you pick us, we want to keep you for a long time. We have a team full of truly exceptional people—the kind you’ll be excited to work with. Here’s how we operate:\n\nDo you prefer mountains or oceans?\n\nWhile the majority of the NPE Team is distributed, it is our overwhelming preference that you live near our Colorado Springs, CO office or our headquarters in Melbourne, FL.  However, with modern tools, proximity doesn’t influence productivity and if absolutely necessary, we can discuss an exception (as long as it’s a state listed below that we already are a registered employer within). For this job in particular, we do need some collaboration though, so just make sure you have a reliable internet connection, of course.\n\nNo Crazy Hours\n\nThe New Product Engineering Team is operating in “start up” mode. This means that we work hard and smart to get projects completed in a reasonable timeline. On occasion, there may be instances when extra time is needed (usually around a product launch or a really big release), but those are pretty infrequent. Basically, we commit you to at least 6 hours of coding per day in our Sprints and as long as you get the work done, we’re okay with when you get it done. Just be available when the team may need your help, or when you may need their help. Sometimes life happens in the middle of the day, and we understand that. We also think “more meetings” means less time for coding so we protect your time. We have one morning stand-up at 10am EST where we find out when there could be overlap that day. Oh, one more cool thing about the only meeting you attend – we “eat our own dog food” and close each stand-up praying for Medi-Share members’ needs listed in our mobile app.\n\nUp Your Game\n\nWe’re serious about helping you improve your craft. We budget for it by giving you those extra 2 hours per workday to collaborate or learn. The stack we generally work on is relatively new so taking time to hone in your skills is pretty imperative. We send members to conferences or webinars as we need to. We love seeing our people growing.\n\nNow, back to you, our new Full Stack Developer…\n\nThis is the part where we describe the experience necessary to be considered for the position.\n\nYou’re a skilled developer, but maybe you haven’t gotten a chance to prove it yet professionally. We can give you that chance. \n\nBut before you get _too_ excited, let me explain. We only hire great developers, and this position is no exception. When we ask you to write or debug code during our interviews, you’ll do so confidently. You might not be able to show us 5 applications you’ve shipped, but you can point to something recent you’ve spent significant time coding that you’re really proud of, like your university project, your open source contributions, or your project at your last job. If we ask your professors, classmates, or coworkers about you, they’ll have great things to say.\n\nIn short, we won’t teach you how to be a good programmer, since you already are, but we can certainly help you be a better, professionally-experienced programmer.\n\nOur ideal candidate either has a college degree in computer science, or if not, 2+ years of recent, solid professional programming experience. Our especially ideal candidate has experience with either Node.js or React.js. Having only done that in your free time is fine. That tells us you are curious enough to learn on your own.\n\nOur stack contains a very healthy JavaScript client utilizing Heroku, Node.js, React.js, and a few others. CCM is in the process of migrating to Salesforce so we often interact with their APIs. For our mobile apps we’re using React Native, because, well, basically, it’s awesome (and we really think our philosophies of “API First” and “Learn Once, Code Everywhere” are going to be the norm in the near future). Our backend API servers use either Ruby on Rails or Node.js/Express, with PostgreSQL and Redis as our data layer. Despite those being our “sweet spots” before we take on a new product, we pick the stack that works best for that solution.\n\nYou’re the one we’re looking for if you:\n\n\n* Live in (or, if you want to live in) one of these states: AL, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, OH, TN, TX, VA, WA, or WV.\n\n* Are curious how things work, you are self-motivated and self-driven.\n\n* Are an excellent developer and can adapt to new languages quickly.\n\n* Write code that is easy for other programmers to understand and use.\n\n* Thrive with directions like:\n\n\n* “Here is the mock up for feature X. How do you think we should approach this?”\n\n* "Check out the Jira story and play a bit with library X on GitHub. This might solve our problem Y. Let's discuss the pros and cons tomorrow."  \n\n* "This component needs to be re-architected to allow for X. How do you think we should do it and why do you think that's a good idea?"\n\n\n\n\n\n* Are excited to work across multiple platforms with different technologies.\n\n* You got a smirk on your face when you saw you could work on the stack listed above, AT A MINISTRY!\n\n* As you’ve read this job description, you realize this team obviously is comprised of people who you’d enjoy spending a work week with. (ended that sentence with a preposition, we're not paid for our grammatical skills)\n\n\n\n\nBonus Points\n\n\n* You already are a Medi-Share member or would want to join membership even if you didn’t work here.\n\n* You’ve built stuff using React Native (even if it was for your mom’s bingo club or something crazier).\n\n\n\n\nNext Steps\n\nSuper important stuff that sounds like it was written by lawyers:\n\nThis job description in no way states or implies that these are the only duties to be performed by the employee(s) incumbent in this position. Employee(s) will be required to follow any other job-related instructions and to perform any other job-related duties requested by any person authorized to give instructions or assignments. This document does not create an employment contract, implied or otherwise, other than an "at will" relationship.\n\nChristian Care Ministry is committed to serving the Lord and our membership with excellence. As employees we are committed to adhering to the same standard of Biblical principles of lifestyle and health as required for membership in our Medi-Share program which include:\n\n\n* Have a verifiable Christian testimony indicating a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and profess the Statement of Faith\n\n* Attend a fellowship of believers, regularly and actively support that ministry, and live under the discipline of that body\n\n* Share the conviction that believers are to bear one another’s burdens according to Galatians 6:2\n\n* Believe the Biblical doctrine that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and therefore are to be kept pure\n\n* Must not engage in sex outside of traditional Christian marriage\n\n* Cannot use tobacco or illegal drugs in any form, or abuse legal drugs or alcohol\n\n\n\n\n How To Apply\n\n\n* Apply here. In your cover letter, introduce yourself and explain why this position is of interest to you, and why you would be a great fit.\n\n* Please include links to apps you’ve built or anything else that makes you look good, and describe your role in building those apps. (If they’re internal, you can skip the link part.)\n\n* If you have a prepared resume, attach it in PDF form. If you don’t have a resume because you aren’t even sure you’re looking to change jobs, that’s fine! An informal list of your work and education history are all we’re looking for. Plus, you’ll see at our site we ask for a lot of the same info anyway.\n\n* Please complete the following questions, and include them with your cover letter. This shouldn’t take you very long.\n\n\n* What are your two strongest programming languages? Is there another language that you’re curious to learn next?\n\n* If you were interviewing a prospective candidate for this position, what would be a good interview question to ask to find out if a candidate really knew their stuff?\n\n* In a 2-3 sentences, what has your life with Jesus looked like over the last 3 weeks? There’s no wrong answer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere will be a few other things if we get past the first interview, but we’ll cover that later. We even like doing our hiring on an iterative basis. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Full Stack, Developer, Digital Nomad, React, Jira, JavaScript, Education, Salesforce, Ruby, API, Mobile, Legal and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

\nOur staff is all over the world. We’re fast paced, intense, but allow for the freedom to make recommendations directly to the decision makers. Candidates that will fit in with our culture will be self motivated, quick on their feet and able to turn reacting into pro-acting.\n\nWhile this is a programming heavy job, we’re not looking for a code monkey, successful candidates will be a mixture of entrepreneur, programmer, DBA, and Linux server administrator.

We’re a Unix house, so expect to find LAMP regularly with a splash of Node.JS and nginx. Most of our web hosting is handled in house where you’ll have sudo access, but you’ll also work with some web hosting vendors for start up sites. Expect to make jumps and transitions from PHP 5.3 to 5.6 - MySQL to PostgreSQL - PostgreSQL to JSON documents for CloudSearch. \n\nExample projects include:\n\n\n* Automatically sync new data in Redshift with Cloud Search in daily increments\n\n* Integrate live web traffic into a real time bidding ad network\n\n* Work with designers to create heavy trafficked websites for A/B split testing\n\n* Test and implement front end queries on CloudSearch for advanced searches\n\n* Add latitude/longitude to records in Redshift and sync CloudSearch indexing\n\n* Respond to support tickets from internal users on a report that isn't working to calculate revenue for a web property\n\n\n\n\nSkills we’d like for you to have:\n\n\n* PHP - object oriented, latest versions. We use PDO and mysqlnd/mysqli for database connections. Experience in Python, Perl or other scripting languages helpful. We believe in the using the right tools for the job.\n\n* Unix experience is a requirement - we’re on Ubuntu/Centos so you shouldn’t be afraid of the shell.\n\n* We use Git for our version control\n\n* Javascript for use in Node.JS, jQuery for front end work\n\n* HTML5 (Working knowledge is fine. Our designers take care of the heavy lifting here)\n\n* General knowledge of PHP frameworks\n\n* Apache, nginx, virtual hosting and dedicated\n\n\n\n\nDatabase management experience in: \n\n\n* MySQL\n\n* PostgreSQL (Amazon Redshift experience a bonus)\n\n* Elastic Search (Amazon CloudSearch a bonus)\n\n\n\n\nWhat you get:\n\n\n* Competitive salary based on experience + reimbursed health care\n\n* Work with bleeding edge technology on a daily basis\n\n* Immediate use of your work. We don’t sit on code for 6 months before it’s live. You’ll be working on a tight schedule and seeing immediate results.\n\n* Direct access to the decision makers.
