At Para, our mission is to build a better gig economy by giving gig workers the tools they need to support their business, helping them earn more and stress less.
We are doing this by building the super app for gig work. Whether a worker is looking for work, actively optimizing how they spend their time, or trying to understand their financial life, Para synthesizes all the data across various apps to become a personal dispatch system! Come help us build a better working future for the 60 million American gig workers.
The driver tools team focuses on two parts of that goal: helping gig workers optimize how they spend their time and understand their financial life. We run a high-throughput system with >10M requests per day to help make this happen for our >50K monthly users.
On Paraโs Engineering team, youโll:
Consistently ship user-facing features
Closely collaborate with frontend developers and designers while actively shaping product direction
Design, build, and maintain software across the stack: CI/CD, observability, monitoring, data models, and client-facing APIs
Get dedicated time for architecture simplifications / tackling tech debt
Read, write, and review design docs for product features and architecture changes
You are likely a good fit if
you have 3+ years of experience in software engineering building, maintaining, and supporting production services
Have informed or made architectural decisions across the API / data layer like:
Serverless functions vs kubernetes vs VMs?
Key-value store vs NoSQL vs SQL?
HTTP vs gRPC vs thrift?
have experience building or are in learning to build across the stack
Youโll be a great culture fit if
Youโre motivated to make work easier for the millions of gig workers in the US
Whether tackling architectural problems or product-market fit, you think the best software solution wonโt be designed but iterated to
You prefer solving two problems reasonably well to solving one problem extremely well
It would be nice (albeit is not necessary โ as long as youโre open to learning!) if you have experience with Typescript and Google Cloud Platform.
We offer
A chance to work with a small team and noticeably move the company from day one
Unlimited paid time off and paid sick leave
1-2 offsites every quarter where we get together in person to eat, hike, and hang out
Work fully remote from anywhere you want โ we only ask you have 4 hours of overlap most days with New York working hours (10 AM - 6 PM)

How do you apply?
This job post has been closed by the poster, which means they probably have enough applicants now. Please do not apply.
Hello there ๐\n\nThanks for your interest in Inex One!\n\nI'm Filip, one of the founders and tech leads of Inex One. Iโll be reviewing your application if you choose to apply ๐ . Let's get it straight out of the way: you would be Engineer #7 in a team that also has two designers and one PM. In total, Inex One is made up of 17 colleagues, from Singapore to New York. Below you'll find detailed sections on what we think you should know about us before deciding to join us. This is pretty texty, so feel free to hop down to the sections that interest you most!\n\n#### The story of Inex One\nWhen my co-founders Max, Mehdi, Josefine and I started Inex One in Stockholm early 2018 we set out to improve global knowledge sharing. Knowledge (in the form of research reports, access to experts, data etc.) is still hard to come by: itโs expensive, siloed and hard to find. If you have ever wondered why management consultants exist this is one of the reasons - they have access to data that no one else has.\n\nThe expert network industry is one of those industries that almost no one has heard of, but still has an enormous impact. In short itโs all about helping organizations get in contact with experts to provide insights and information. It is also an industry with huge margins, lots of inefficiencies and a pricing model (huge up-front contracts) that keeps smaller organizations out. This is where we decided to start.\n\nOn the surface this might seem like a pretty dull industry. I strongly disagree, but never mind that, dull is a good place to be as a startup. The anonymous, dull and high margin parts of the B2B world is where a startup can succeed without giving away the entire company to VCs and without waiting 10 years for profitability.\n\nDuring the past three years we've helped organizations small and large come in contact with thousands of experts. We have a small and effective team that believes in working smarter, not harder. It's amazing what a small team of focused and capable individuals can accomplish through effective teamwork. We don't have many meetings, and most of our work happens asynchronously on GitHub and Slack. Everyone is included and can see every discussion or decision they want to contribute to.\n\nRight now I think Inex is really at a sweet spot.\nSmall enough that every team member can have a significant impact. \nLarge enough that we can offer a stable working environment, competitive salaries, solid project management and well defined tasks. \nClose to profitability, growing steadily with strong investor backing. We are now focused on growing into a stable and profitable company without additional external investment.\n\n#### The product\nOur product connects organizations doing research with expert networks that are specialized in finding experts in different fields and geographies. We support over 20 expert networks and hundreds of clients, doing dozens of expert calls every day. Our clients come in all shapes and sizes such as consultancies, corporates, PE funds and non-profits. We are proud to have clients on all continents except Antarctica (not yet!).\n\nThere is a lot of work of the typical CRUD + notifications type on the platform. But we also have elements of recommendation algorithms, NLP (transcripts, summaries, sentiment analysis), browser plugins, search and our own conferencing system (built on top of Twilio). \n\nWe try to be pragmatic about product management and we've learned a lot. In the beginning we thought we knew more than we did and spent a lot of time on the wrong things. Nowadays we take UX, planning and user interviews very seriously. For any larger tasks we create working groups consisting of UX, tech and business that shape a feature together before detailed designs and coding begin. We donโt adhere to any specific methodology, most seem geared towards larger companies, but have taken inspiration from agile and shape-up.\n\n#### Upcoming technical work\n* 50% creating larger features based on client or expert network needs. Some examples of upcoming projects are improved search, transcript summaries and better calendar management.\n* 20% smaller features. Often it's little product changes that can add lots of value. This often involves learning more about user needs in order to come up with the best and simplest solution.\n* 10% bug fixes, at most. Thanks to really solid CI, decent tests and consistent code written for readability and maintainability we have few bugs that are usually easy to fix.\n* 20% devOps, tech debt elimination and work on improving the developer experience. We prioritize ease of development very highly and have for the past year always had at least one team member focus on this.\n\n#### Requirements\n\n##### Skills\n* 5+ years in software development\n* Experience of leading software development work\n* The ability to ship solid, testable and readable code (preferably React, Node & Typescript - but not a must, we know that good senior developers learn new languages and frameworks quickly anyway)\n* Understand how web apps work and have a good understanding of deployments, browsers, servers etc.\n* Effective written and verbal English\n* Able to communicate with other people on the project team effectively\n* [bonus] Experience with DevOps, search (such as Elastic), NLP, postgres, React, Node, Typescript\n\n##### Personality\n* Eager to take ownership and lead the development of one of our product areas\n* Willing to learn, grow and work as a team\n* Believe that empathy and effective communication is important\n* Preference towards the simplest solution rather than the most technically interesting one\n* Pragmatic and able to make decisions with incomplete information, not afraid to ask for clarification\n* Strong sense of responsibility for upholding product stability and quality\n* After the first 6 months we expect you to\n* Have shipped several features\n* Be communicating effectively in the team\n* Be leading engineering decisions\n\n#### The codebase\nOur philosophy has always been to keep things simple and readable. The business we are in will never lead to huge traffic volumes so itโs better to focus on developer productivity, simplicity and security rather than optimizations, advanced infrastructure and microservices.\n\nThe entire codebase is written in typescript with React+Node+Postgres. This was a very conscious choice because it allows code sharing and lets developers move seamlessly between the front and back end. This is great because it allows for more varied tasks and a deeper understanding of the system as a whole.\n\nHere are some points about how we do things currently\n* We release multiple times per week (merge to master = release)\n* We share lots of types and files between the frontend and the backend, since it's all typescript!\n* Monorepo setup using Yarn workspaces. Linting, code styling and type checking throughout the codebase. Everything is integrated with VSCode.\n* GitHub workflow. PRs close GitHub issues that we manage in a Kanban board. Every PR deploys a full working environment where backend and frontend can be accessed live.\n\n#### Remote work at Inex\nInex is remote first, we are currently 6 developers living in 6 different countries. That means our processes are built for remote work from the get go. Code reviews, pair programming and joint planning sessions are built into the process. As are (very short) daily standups, retrospectives and times when we can share what we have built and learned. \n\nStill there is something that happens when you meet face to face, have a nice dinner and a beer or two. We make sure to have regular retreats together and visit each other. In November the entire team came to Paris to visit Mehdi. In the beginning of 2022 the whole company will come and visit me in Stockholm.\n\nThe role is remote but we are currently open to candidates within 2 hours of our timezone (CET) in order to reduce issues with meeting times and synchronous collaboration.\n\n#### Some of the people at Inex\nBelow is a selection of people at the company. I mention these five because I think they show that we know what we are doing. We have started companies before, we have been customers of and worked at expert networks.\n\n**Max Friberg**: Our CEO, previously a huge consumer of expert calls at McKinsey as well as a founder of an expert network. The guy behind our SEO (try googling โexpert networkโ). https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxfriberg \n\n**Josefine Vinberg**: Our COO, with a background in tech product management and running a large tech team at Widespace. Sharp business thinker, and a champion of โdoing one thing really really wellโ. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jvinberg/\n\n**Filip Gruvstad**: Co-CTO, did a brief stint at McKinsey and also did some expert calls. Before Inex heโs been CTO & co-founder at 2 other marketplace startups (Yepstr is still alive and kicking). A fan of good food, techno and structured code! https://www.linkedin.com/in/filipgruvstad \n\n**Mehdi Rejraji**: Co-CTO, absolutely brilliant developer and previous co-founder and CTO at Airnum. A champion of remote-first work, and of our expert network partners. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mehdirejraji \n\n**Ana Price**: Head of Product. Recently joined Inex to lead product management, after 8 years at the worldโs largest expert network GLG. Ana is planning a number of exciting additions to the platform. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ana-price-16513978/ \n\n\n#### Here are some of the perks of the job\n* Ability to have an impact from day 1\n* Fun, sharp and diverse set of colleagues\n* Freedom and responsibility to set your own schedule\n* Work from home (or from a co-working space)\n* Regular team retreats to fun locations\n* Low amount of time spent in meetings\n* Yearly budget for learning and development\n* Computer & phone setup of your choice\n* Financially stable company\n* Sizable equity compensation\n* Market rate salary compensation\n\nIn the interest of transparency please consider **these reasons not to join us**:\n* You prefer working in a โticket factoryโ where each ticket is precisely defined, you do it and then you forget about it and move on. This is still a small company, you are expected to think for yourself: what could make this task better? What have we missed? etc.\n* You think more features and complex technology is the best way to solve all problems.\n* You want to spend all day writing complex algorithms and optimizing code to shave off the last millisecond. It does happen, but not often, problem solving for us is mostly about figuring out customer needs and trying to solve them in the cleanest most simple way possible.\n\n \n\nPlease mention the word **SUPPORTED** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xODA=).

๐ Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
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.

#The Opportunity\nShorthand is a growing company that provides a digital publishing platform to many of the world's best-known publishers, brands, not-for-profits, and universities. With customers on every continent (except Antarctica!), there's never been a more exciting time to join Shorthand. Our company has a rare distinction in this era of money-burning startups of being comfortably profitable. We're a small team of geeks with art and heart, and a high bar for quality.\nTo deliver our magic to customers and their audiences, we build software that is scalable, flexible, reliable and as simple as possible but no simpler.\nWe tend to do things a little differently at Shorthand.

You'll be glueing together our great storytelling product with our customers' content management systems and with our third-party providers like Google and Apple to create a seamless experience. Some integrations are backend API related (including Drupal/WordPress and other CMS module development), but most are focused on frontend JavaScript/TypeScript and Google AMP. A secondary but important aspect of the role is advancing Shorthand's automated testing coverage.\nWe are looking for someone who:\n- Is whip-smart, as demonstrated by career achievements and/or school/university results\n- Has great communication skills, particularly with respect to writing and interacting directly with technical and non-technical customers (sometimes across US and European timezones).\n- Has good knowledge of cloud-based web architectures, web crawlers, SEO, and frontend web performance optimisation.\n- Experienced in system design and system integration.\n- Has a wide range of experience and expertise across languages, frameworks and approaches such as JavaScript, TypeScript, and ReactJS, NodeJS, scripting, and serverless.\n- Is an expert in using git.\n- Has worked with CI/CD processes before (CircleCI/GitHub Actions preferably).\n- Is experienced using test automation tools (Cypress, Jest, React Testing Library, Percy preferably).\n- Is experienced with Drupal module and WordPress plugins development, especially in integration with third-party APIs.\n- Has an extremely high bar for quality.\n- Is thorough and detail-oriented.\n- Can learn fast.\n- Gains deep satisfaction from helping to make products better.\n- Has experience of working in a small business or startup environment.\n- Preferably has experience collaborating with diverse, geographically-dispersed teams.\n#Core Responsibilities:\n- Own customer integrations development including reusable third-party integrations (like WordPress plugins and Drupal modules) and JavaScript embedding solutions, publishing destinations (Google AMP, AWS S3, Akamai and others), as well as bespoke tailored customer-specific integrations.\n- Work directly with customers through the whole lifecycle of delivery.\n- Mature Shorthand automated testing capabilities to help improve product quality and team safety.\n- Provide high tier support especially for custom systems integrations.\n- Learn, evolve and improve an existing application/system architecture.\n- Review code from other engineers and provide feedback.\n- Help secure the environment.\n- Contribute to the technical direction of the Shorthand tool.\n- Report bugs.\n- Communicate with the customer support team and customers to suggest solutions to issues.\n- Assist in the creation of product documentation when required.\n#Qualifications:\n- A minimum of 5 years of experience in Software Engineering roles.\n- A minimum of 3 years of experience in web application development.\n- Thorough knowledge of NodeJS and the web.\n- Experience with AWS.\n- University qualification in computer science or a closely related field, or equivalent career experience required.\n#Personality Attributes:\n- You are a proactive self-starter, who does not need to be told what to do and will be resourceful in order to find solutions to any challenge.\n- You thrive in a fast-paced and demanding environment and possess a high level of intellectual curiosity.\n- You are collaborative.\n- You find fulfilment in the job itself, and happiness in a job well done. \n\nPlease mention the words **LITTLE EXERCISE SUIT** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xODA=).
