**$100k/year. 100% remote. Flexible schedule.**\n\nWe’re looking for someone to help us design the next iteration of our state-of-the-art drag & drop website builder for WordPress.\n\nThis is a hybrid role: 50% design, 50% product.\n\nYour job will be to identify what customers need, make it easy-to-use and visually appealing, and implement your designs in HTML and CSS.\n\nYou're expected to be self driven, solve problem and make decisions on your own. You will have a high degree of ownership over what you create. We trust you to create the best designs you can - you can always ask for help and feedback though!\n\n**Required Skills & Experience:**\n* Product Design - what should we build?\n* UI / UX Design & Wireframes - how will it work?\n* Visual Design - make it pretty (Figma, Sketch, etc.)\n* Web Design - (knowledge of responsive, compressed assets, SVG, performance analysis, etc.)\n* Marketing Design - FB ads, YT thumbnails, etc.\n* HTML / CSS - ability to implement any design\n* Basic JS knowledge - (the sort of JS you’d need for a typical website, such asdropdown menus, using slider libraries, etc.)\n\n**Nice to haves (but not required):**\n* WordPress experience / basic PHP experience\n\nYou will be working directly on our core product - a drag and drop website builder for WordPress. You will be designing new features and user interfaces, and also improving what already exists.\n\nYou will work directly with our founder, 3 senior software engineers, and 3 designers.\n\nSometimes you’ll be responsible for implementation of your designs in HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript. But if more than HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript knowledge is required for implementation, our engineering team will take care of it.\n\nThere is lots of opportunity for professional growth in this role. We are a small, rapidly expanding team.\n\n**About You:**\n* Detail oriented\n* Smart & opinionated - you know how things should work, and you constantly see room for improvement\n* Humble - you know the best idea always wins, and that it doesn’t matter where it came from\n* Independent - you are capable of being tasked with building “feature X”, and doing what it takes to deliver\n* Clear & effective communicator\n* 5+ years of design / product experience\n\n**How We Work:**\n\nWe are an async-first company. We keep meetings and chat to the absolute minimum to foster focus-time.\n\nWe use Basecamp for team communication. Very occasionally you'll do a Zoom call to go over something with your collaborators, but it’s quite rare (think 1 or 2 per month).\n\nAs a fully-remote team, we don't care what time zone you're in or at what times you're working. We only care about the quality of your work. \n\nWe consider good communication skills very important because of the above.\n\n**What We Offer:**\n\n* $100k/year\n* Fully remote\n* No scheduling requirements - you can work whenever you want\n* A work environment free from politics / meetings / interruptions / bs\n* No overtime / crunch time / rushing / stress. We are a calm company: https://basecamp.com/books/calm\n* $2k/year learning materials budget\n\n**How To Apply:**\n\nSend a resume and cover letter to Louis (the founder): [email protected]\n\nIf you sound like a good fit, we’ll schedule a short call (~1 hour on Zoom) where we’ll have a conversation about your design experience. And of course we’re happy to answer any questions you have about us.\n\nWe are expecting to make a hiring decision in the next ~3 weeks. We are flexible, and are happy to give you some time to wind things down at your current position if necessary. \n\nPlease mention the words **MIRACLE RHYTHM UNKNOWN** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xNDIuMjQ3Ljkw).

\nDo you do your own dishes? We've got a job for you (and it's not dishwashing ;-) ).\n\nDo you put them in the sink and expect someone else to do them? Move on, please.\n\nDo you get pissed (in a professional way) when someone else leaves their dishes in the sink? Please apply!\n\nTrainerRoad is looking to expand our engineering group. We're looking for smart software engineers who "get things done." We’re interested in remote candidates in the USA or candidates interested in working in our Reno office.\n\nAreas of work include React, TypeScript, Electron and React Native.\n\nWe're looking to hire 5x Javascript Developers to join our team.\n\nApp Development\nWe're moving our apps from cross-platform Xamarin to Electron/React Native. You'd be involved in this process and would work with experienced engineers to rebuild a section of the app.\n\nOur goal is to increase the speed of app development. We do this through hot module reloading, fast computers, a great build chain, automated testing, clear and well-defined issues and a dedicated QA team that tests every PR.\n\nWe track what our users do, learn from that and improve the product. We want this loop to be a quick as possible.\n\nOur website is built in Angular 2+ and there's the opportunity to work on the web in Angular.\n\nThis job is primarily for Electron (using React) and React Native app development, but there's room for someone to move to the web in the future or split their time between web/app.\n\nEngineering Principles we believe in\n- Write good code, but not necessarily great code.\nGood code ships, great code gets "tinkered" with and debated about ad nauseam.\n\n- Good code is understandable. \nWe admit it, we've made things too complex in the past. We've had complex class hierarchies and really shown off our CS skills.\n\nSure, there's fewer lines of code, but it takes someone a few days to figure out what's going on and it's easy to write bugs.\n\nWe believe in a few more lines of code for the sake of clarity and debugging ease.\n\n- Good code is testable, and we're pragmatic about testing. \nYou don't get the same testing ROI for every line of code. We believe to test the areas that are most likely to break, are tricky or are likely to be changed. We still run thousands of unit tests per build, but we're not testing 1+1 = 2.\n\n- Quick builds will set you free! \nTo be a successful engineer, you need to get into "flow" (more on that below) as often as you can. That's why we love hot module reloading.\n\n- We want just enough process to be awesome, and nothing more.\nWe have engineers review issues before a sprint for clarity and completeness. When they submit a PR there's always code review, UI/Unit tests run, then QA manually tests.\n\nFor the web, we automatically push every PR that's merged into Master.\n\nFor the app, we do weekly releases where there's a final regression test with all merged PRs from the previous week.\n\nOur process prevents bugs/regressions and ultimately saves a lot of time.\n\n- Long-running branches are the devil\nOften times projects will take weeks/months before they are launched.\n\nInstead of experiencing a merge/testing hell at the end of the project we encourage small PRs into master with a "feature flag" on the new project that allows employees to use the feature in production but not our users.\n\nCool Things we Do\n- Every PR has a set of unit tests and automated UI tests run against it.\n- Every PR is code reviewed.\n- We have a dedicated QA team to manually check your PR (it requires four testers to sign off).\n- Every web PR that is approved is automatically deployed (CI).\n- We've got a beta system that has a flow of production data that helps you develop and test your code without worry of breaking things.\n- Everything is hosted on Azure. There's plenty of dev/beta/test servers and databases to use.\n- The web and app team have their own Product Managers.\n- We run two-week sprints. The web/app team reviews, estimates, and discusses all sprint issues before they are free to be worked.\n- We often pair program.\n- The majority of our engineers are remote.\n- We have a skilled design team that handles the HTML/LESS for app and website.\n\nWho We're Looking For\nWe want smart engineers who get shit done! Not only do you have to be smart, but you also have to be pragmatic.\n\nLet's say you need to paint a room white.\n\nSmart and Pragmatic Engineer: A pragmatic engineer fills up a sprayer (rather than use a paintbrush), gets to work, and makes sure they don't paint themselves into a corner.\n\nSmart Engineer (but not pragmatic): A smart engineer who's not pragmatic might design a system to change the color of the room in just 30 seconds. Sure, it would take 2 months to build the system but we could change colors so quickly! It's totally optimized for repainting!\n\nIf the second example sounds like you, please do not apply. We know it's fun to go hog wild in projects but we need to "get shit done". There's a whole line of other engineers and designers waiting for that room to get painted so they can do their own work on it.\n\nWe're a Team, not a Family\nIt sounds harsh to say, but we're not a Family. I know lots of businesses call themselves a family, but I think it's BS. If you get drunk at work and yell at someone, we're going to let you go (although we would give Grandma a pass at Thanksgiving).\n\nIt's better to think of TrainerRoad like a sports team. Everyone has their role and their jobs. It's our jobs as managers to bring new hires up to speed, train them in our system, and coach them to be successful.\n\nIf someone is not performing, we need to talk to them, coach them, find out what's going wrong and where we can improve. If someone just can't perform to the standard level of the team and we can't coach them to get better, we have to let that person go.\n\nAnother clear sign that you have a high-performance team is that if everyone would "enthusiastically rehire" each other for their current roles. It really makes work wonderful when you respect, trust and value your co-workers.\n\nRequired Technology Experience\nReact\nRedux/Mobx\nTypescript\nGit\nWeb Application Experience (interactive web pages)\n\nOptional Technology Experience\nReact Native\nElectron\nNative iOS/Android\nAngular\nC# (We use this on our web backend)\n\n\nWork Remote or in Reno, Nevada\nWe're looking for the best candidate we can find in the US. Three-quarters of our development team work remotely. It works very well with the help of Slack and Github.\n\nWe expect remote employees to overlap at least 6 hours with the Reno, Nevada office (we're there 8am-5pm Pacific time).\n\nSalary\nWe're looking to hire five engineers for $110k/year. If you ask for more, we'll reject your application. If you're interested in the company please subscribe to our RSS feed at jobs.trainerroad.com for when a higher level job posting is open.\n\nPerks\n- Unlimited Vacation\n- 401k with 4% company matching \n- 99% of employee's individual health care paid (I know 99% is weird...it's an ACA thing, and it ends up being just a few dollars per paycheck) You can see a preview of what you'd pay here: https://www.zenefits.com/benefits-preview/?token=3733c1ac-fc72-420a-b224-d9a25bcc1e27\n- Flexible schedule\n- Access to the latest fitness devices (power meters, trainers, sensors, etc.)\n\nYour Resume should have:\n- Links to any open source projects you've contributed to (not required)\n- Github/StackOverflow username if you'd like\n- Examples of experience in the "Optional Technology Experience" area\n\nYour Cover Letter should have:\n- Let us know why you want to work for TrainerRoad\n\nWe also Require\nThe best engineers only want to work with other great engineers. We've found that the best way to find great engineers is to have them code, not just answer trivia questions during an interview.\n\nThat's why we require applications to do a refactoring exercise as part of their job submission. The right candidate won't find this a pain in the ass; it should be enjoyable.\n\nThis also weeds out the vast majority of candidates who just fire off resumes everywhere.\n\nYou can find the refactoring exercise here: https://github.com/trainerroad/RefactoringChallenge\n\nIt has a README.md with instructions.\n\nExcited about our Company?\nIn your application let us know why you want to work with us and why you think you'd be a good fit for our company.\n\nFAQs\n\nDo I have to be a cyclist to apply?\nNope! Not everyone in the company is a cyclist. It helps if you're an active racer but it's not required. If you are a racer or TrainerRoad user, let us know!\n\nWhat's unlimited vacation mean?\nThe CEO of TrainerRoad used to be an engineer at a Fortune 500 company where life was a grind. We believe employees put out their best work when they are happy and not burnt out.\n\nIf your brain just isn't working at 3 pm, we encourage employees to go home and rest up. It does no one any good to sit and stare at the computer screen for another two hours. We don't track that time.\n\nEmployees generally shoot for around four weeks of REAL vacation time (no slack checking) but some take more, and some take less. The thing we care about is how productive you can be and how much value you can add to the company. Bottom line, we want people who are passionate and get things done. If you meet those requirements, everything else works itself out.\n\nThat being said, if you end up taking massive amounts of vacation, come in late, leave early and aren't producing outstanding work we're going to have a problem.\n\nHow do you work?\nWe're big believers in Deep Work and Flow. If you're not turning off Slack (snooze), going DND on your phone and shutting off the world for multiple hours a day you're probably not being as productive as you could be. The idea is a developer should be able to work on a chunk of work that they understand distraction-free for multiple hours totally. This is the only way the company moves forward.\n\nWe try to work as pragmatically as we can. We have excellent designers on staff who go from mockups to responsive HTML with light javascript work.\n\nDevelopment uses Github with a strict pull request process. We test, comment, refactor and improve each other's pull requests.\n\nWe have a QA team (we call them the Test Team) that checks every PR and does full regression checks for each App release, and we're continually getting more automated.\n\nWe have an Automation Team that only focuses on writing UI tests to speed up testing and find bugs faster.\n\nWe can one-click deploy our app on Alpha, Beta, and Production channels.\n\nWe can one-click deploy our website to Azure (includes smoke tests and warm up).\n\nWe have nightly builds that deploy to Test Flight and Google Play.\n\nWe often pair program via Slack.\n\nWe work off bi-weekly sprint issue lists on Github.\n\nDevelopers get the super fast machines and awesome equipment. If it's going to let you be more productive, we want to spend the money on it.\n\nYou didn't ask about education, what's required?\nPlease put your education on your resume, but we're not going to reject someone because they don't have a degree in Computer Science. We understand that some of the best and most passionate engineers are self-taught.\n\nHow long until I hear a response from you guys? What's the process?\nIf you don't follow directions in this job posting, you'll be immediately rejected.\n\nIf you did follow directions, our goal is to review your refactoring within a week of submitting your application. All refactoring reviews are done "blind"; meaning the reviewer doesn't know your name, resume or where you're from. Code is code, and it should be reviewed that way without bias.\n\nIf we like your refactoring, we'll have you do a coding logic quiz. Nothing super in-depth CS wise. We've found that the candidates who do the best on these exercises are very successful at TrainerRoad.\n\nWe'll take the top combined refactoring and coding quiz results and set you up for a team interview.\n\nIf the team likes you; we'll then set up a pair programming session with you and an engineer. We'll give you a tour of our codebase and work on a real issue. This gives you a chance to run away from our codebase screaming and also demonstrate that you can communicate with us.\n\nIf all of the above is good, you're hired!\n\nI know this sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through, but it works so so well! Once you're onboard, you'll love that everyone else went through the same process and is up to "your level" in terms of "get-shit-doneness".\n\nWhat's with the dishes analogy?\nDoing your own dishes is a GREAT analogy for our culture. Don't leave shit around for someone else to clean up. Do your own dishes. Do you see someone making a mess? Let's discuss it (in a productive manner) so that we can nip that behavior in the bud.\n\nWe know we're really doing well when someone points out a manager not "doing their dishes" or causing an extra headache for a process that doesn't add value (it happens). Seriously, we need employees to call managers out on this. I'm the CEO writing this; please oh please tell me if I'm messing up or not walking the talk.\n\nWant more detail about the benefits?\nYou can see a preview of TrainerRoad's health benefits here:https://secure.zenefits.com/benefitsPreview?token=3733c1ac-fc72-420a-b224-d9a25bcc1e27\n\nThis is the longest job posting ever, when does it end?\n\nRight now! Congrats if you made it this far! We look forward to looking at your resume and refactoring exercise.\n\nTrainerRoad is an equal opportunity employer. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to JavaScript, React, Senior, Developer, Digital Nomad, Education, HTML, Angular, Xamarin and Engineer jobs that are similar:\n\n $60,000 — $120,000/year\n

\nCompensation: $100,000\n\nDo you do your own dishes? We've got a job for you (and it's not dishwashing ;-) ).\n\nDo you put them in the sink and expect someone else to do them? Move on, please.\n\nDo you get pissed (in a professional way) when someone else leaves their dishes in the sink? Please apply!\n\nTrainerRoad is looking to expand our engineering group. We're looking for smart software engineers who "get things done." We’re interested in remote candidates in the USA or candidates interested in working in our Reno office.\n\nAreas of work include React, TypeScript, Electron and React Native.\n\nWe're looking to hire 3x Javascript Developers to join our team.\n\nApp Development\nWe're moving our apps from cross-platform Xamarin to Electron/React Native. You'd be involved in this process and would work with an experienced engineer(s) to rebuild a section of the app.\n\nOur goal is to increase the speed of app development. We do this through HRM, fast computers, a great build chain, automated testing, clear and well-defined issues and a dedicated QA team that tests every PR.\n\nWe track what our users do, learn from that and improve the product. We want this loop to be a quick as possible.\n\nOur website is built in Angular 2+. With our move to React on the app side we'll be making new elements in React on the web.\n\nThis job is primarily for Electron (using React) and React Native app development, but there's room for someone to move to the web in the future or split their time between web/app.\n\nEngineering Principles we believe in\n- Write good code, but not necessarily great code.\nGood code ships, great code gets "tinkered" with and debated about ad nauseam.\n\n- Good code is understandable. \nWe admit it, we've made things too complex in the past. We've had complex class hierarchies and really shown off our CS skills.\n\nSure, there's fewer lines of code, but it takes someone a few days to figure out what's going on and it's easy to write bugs.\n\nWe believe in a few more lines of code for the sake of clarity and debugging ease.\n\n- Good code is testable, and we're pragmatic about testing. \nYou don't get the same testing ROI for every line of code. We believe to test the areas that are most likely to break, are tricky or are likely to be changed. We still run thousands of unit tests per build, but we're not testing 1+1 = 2.\n\n- Quick builds will set you free! \nTo be a successful engineer, you need to get into "flow" (more on that below) as often as you can. That's why we love HRM.\n\n- We want just enough process to be awesome, and nothing more.\nWe have engineers review issues before a sprint for clarity and completeness. When they submit a PR there's always code review, UI/Unit tests run, then QA manually tests.\n\nFor the web, we automatically push every PR that's merged into Master.\n\nFor the app, we do weekly releases where there's a final regression test with all merged PRs from the previous week.\n\nOur process prevents bugs/regressions and ultimately saves a lot of time.\n\n- Long-running branches are the devil\nOften times projects will take weeks/months before they are launched.\n\nInstead of experiencing a merge/testing hell at the end of the project we encourage small PRs into master with a "feature flag" on the new project that allows employees to use the feature in production but not our users.\n\nCool Things we Do\n- Every PR has a set of unit tests and automated UI tests run against it.\n- Every PR is code reviewed.\n- We have a dedicated QA team to manually check your PR (it requires four testers to sign off).\n- Every web PR that is approved is automatically deployed (CI).\n- We've got a beta system that has a flow of production data that helps you develop and test your code without worry of breaking things.\n- Everything is hosted on Azure. There's plenty of dev/beta/test servers and databases to use.\n- The web and app team have their own Product Managers.\n- We run two-week sprints. The web/app team reviews, estimates, and discusses all sprint issues before they are free to be worked.\n- We often pair program.\n- The majority of our engineers are remote.\n- We have a skilled design team that handles the HTML/LESS for app and website.\n\nWho We're Looking For\nWe want smart engineers who get shit done! Not only do you have to be smart, but you also have to be pragmatic.\n\nLet's say you need to paint a room white.\n\nSmart and Pragmatic Engineer: A pragmatic engineer fills up a sprayer (rather than use a paintbrush), gets to work, and makes sure they don't paint themselves into a corner.\n\nSmart Engineer (but not pragmatic): A smart engineer who's not pragmatic might design a system to change the color of the room in just 30 seconds. Sure, it would take 2 months to build the system but we could change colors so quickly! It's totally optimized for repainting!\n\nIf the second example sounds like you, please do not apply. We know it's fun to go hog wild in projects but we need to "get shit done". There's a whole line of other engineers and designers waiting for that room to get painted so they can do their own work on it.\n\nWe're a Team, not a Family\nIt sounds harsh to say, but we're not a Family. I know lots of businesses call themselves a family, but I think it's BS. If you get drunk at work and yell at someone, we're going to let you go (although we would give Grandma a pass at Thanksgiving).\n\nIt's better to think of TrainerRoad like a sports team. Everyone has their role and their jobs. It's our jobs as managers to bring new hires up to speed, train them in our system, and coach them to be successful.\n\nIf someone is not performing, we need to talk to them, coach them, find out what's going wrong and where we can improve. If someone just can't perform to the standard level of the team and we can't coach them to get better, we have to let that person go.\n\nAnother clear sign that you have a high-performance team is that if everyone would "enthusiastically rehire" each other for their current roles. It really makes work wonderful when you respect, trust and value your co-workers.\n\nRequired Technology Experience\nReact\nRedux/Mobx\nTypescript\nGit\nWeb Application Experience (interactive web pages)\n\nOptional Technology Experience\nReact Native\nElectron\nNative iOS/Android\nAngular\nC# (We use this on our web backend)\nWeb Charting Libraries\n\nWork Remote or in Reno, Nevada\nWe're looking for the best candidate we can find in the US. Three-quarters of our development team work remotely. It works very well with the help of Slack and Github.\n\nWe expect remote employees to overlap at least 6 hours with the Reno, Nevada office (we're there 8am-5pm Pacific time).\n\nSalary\nWe're looking to hire engineers for $100k/year. If you ask for more, we'll reject your application. If you're interested in the company please subscribe to our RSS feed at jobs.trainerroad.com for when a higher level job posting is open.\n\nPerks\n- Unlimited Vacation\n- 401k with 4% company matching \n- 99% of employee's individual health care paid (I know 99% is weird...it's an ACA thing, and it ends up being just a few dollars per paycheck) You can see a preview of what you'd pay here: https://www.zenefits.com/benefits-preview/?token=3733c1ac-fc72-420a-b224-d9a25bcc1e27\n- Flexible schedule\n- Access to the latest fitness devices (power meters, trainers, sensors, etc.)\n\nYour Resume should have:\n- Links to any open source projects you've contributed to (not required)\n- Github/StackOverflow username if you'd like\n- Examples of experience in the "Optional Technology Experience" area\n\nYour Cover Letter should have:\n- Let us know why you want to work for TrainerRoad\n\nWe also Require\nThe best engineers only want to work with other great engineers. We've found that the best way to find great engineers is to have them code, not just answer trivia questions during an interview.\n\nThat's why we require applications to do a refactoring exercise as part of their job submission. The right candidate won't find this a pain in the ass; it should be enjoyable.\n\nThis also weeds out the vast majority of candidates who just fire off resumes everywhere.\n\nYou can find the refactoring exercise here: https://github.com/trainerroad/RefactoringChallenge\n\nIt has a README.md with instructions.\n\nExcited about our Company?\nIn your application let us know why you want to work with us and why you think you'd be a good fit for our company.\n\nFAQs\n\nDo I have to be a cyclist to apply?\nNope! Not everyone in the company is a cyclist. It helps if you're an active racer but it's not required. If you are a racer or TrainerRoad user, let us know!\n\nWhat's unlimited vacation mean?\nThe CEO of TrainerRoad used to be an engineer at a Fortune 500 company where life was a grind. We believe employees put out their best work when they are happy and not burnt out.\n\nIf your brain just isn't working at 3 pm, we encourage employees to go home and rest up. It does no one any good to sit and stare at the computer screen for another two hours. We don't track that time.\n\nEmployees generally shoot for around four weeks of REAL vacation time (no slack checking) but some take more, and some take less. The thing we care about is how productive you can be and how much value you can add to the company. Bottom line, we want people who are passionate and get things done. If you meet those requirements, everything else works itself out.\n\nThat being said, if you end up taking massive amounts of vacation, come in late, leave early and aren't producing outstanding work we're going to have a problem.\n\nHow do you work?\nWe're big believers in Deep Work and Flow. If you're not turning off Slack (snooze), going DND on your phone and shutting off the world for multiple hours a day you're probably not being as productive as you could be. The idea is a developer should be able to work on a chunk of work that they understand distraction-free for multiple hours totally. This is the only way the company moves forward.\n\nWe try to work as pragmatically as we can. We have excellent designers on staff who go from mockups to responsive HTML with light javascript work.\n\nDevelopment uses Github with a strict pull request process. We test, comment, refactor and improve each other's pull requests.\n\nWe have a QA team (we call them the Test Team) that checks every PR and does full regression checks for each App release, and we're continually getting more automated.\n\nWe have an Automation Team that only focuses on writing UI tests to speed up testing and find bugs faster.\n\nWe can one-click deploy our app on Alpha, Beta, and Production channels.\n\nWe can one-click deploy our website to Azure (includes smoke tests and warm up).\n\nWe have nightly builds that deploy to Test Flight and Google Play.\n\nWe often pair program via Slack.\n\nWe work off bi-weekly sprint issue lists on Github.\n\nDevelopers get the super fast machines and awesome equipment. If it's going to let you be more productive, we want to spend the money on it.\n\nYou didn't ask about education, what's required?\nPlease put your education on your resume, but we're not going to reject someone because they don't have a degree in Computer Science. We understand that some of the best and most passionate engineers are self-taught.\n\nHow long until I hear a response from you guys? What's the process?\nIf you don't follow directions in this job posting, you'll be immediately rejected.\n\nIf you did follow directions, our goal is to review your refactoring within a week of submitting your application. All refactoring reviews are done "blind"; meaning the reviewer doesn't know your name, resume or where you're from. Code is code, and it should be reviewed that way without bias.\n\nIf we like your refactoring, we'll have you do a coding logic quiz. Nothing super in-depth CS wise. We've found that the candidates who do the best on these exercises are very successful at TrainerRoad.\n\nWe'll take the top combined refactoring and coding quiz results and set you up for a team interview.\n\nIf the team likes you; we'll then set up a pair programming session with you and an engineer. We'll give you a tour of our codebase and work on a real issue. This gives you a chance to run away from our codebase screaming and also demonstrate that you can communicate with us.\n\nIf all of the above is good, you're hired!\n\nI know this sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through, but it works so so well! Once you're onboard, you'll love that everyone else went through the same process and is up to "your level" in terms of "get-shit-doneness".\n\nWhat's with the dishes analogy?\nDoing your own dishes is a GREAT analogy for our culture. Don't leave shit around for someone else to clean up. Do your own dishes. Do you see someone making a mess? Let's discuss it (in a productive manner) so that we can nip that behavior in the bud.\n\nWe know we're really doing well when someone points out a manager not "doing their dishes" or causing an extra headache for a process that doesn't add value (it happens). Seriously, we need employees to call managers out on this. I'm the CEO writing this; please oh please tell me if I'm messing up or not walking the talk.\n\nWant more detail about the benefits?\nYou can see a preview of TrainerRoad's health benefits here: https://www.zenefits.com/benefits-preview/?token=3733c1ac-fc72-420a-b224-d9a25bcc1e27\n\nThis is the longest job posting ever, when does it end?\n\nRight now!

Inside of that team people usually focus on one of the following areas:\n\nBackend Development - Controllers, API, Services, Azure data stuff, Integrations, etc\n\nFrontend Development - Angular2, API, Controllers\n\nTrainerRoad handles a large amount of data and our site gets a lot of use by a set of passionate users. On the backend, you might enqueue millions of items to process via Azure Functions or WebJobs (quickly and efficiently).  On the frontend, you'll be writing code that handles multiple requests per second.\n\nWhat I'm saying is your code will matter.\n\nWe've also got a crack design team. They make it so engineers never have to write a single line of CSS!\n\nNote: We're not on ASP.NET Core yet but we'll move there as soon as EF catches up with our requirements.\n\nWho We're Looking For\n\nWe want smart engineers! The ideal candidate is a "developer's developer" and enjoys reading about programming in their free time, tinkering on the weekends with side projects and staying abreast of the latest frameworks/technologies in their area of expertise.\n\nWe basically want someone with a passion for development.\n\nRequired Technology Experience\n\n\n* C# Experience - Intermediate to Advanced proficiency\n\n\n\n\nOptional Technology Experience\n\n\n* ASP.net MVC\n\n* ASP.net Core\n\n* Javascript Frameworks (Angular2, React, etc)\n\n* LINQ\n\n* Web API\n\n* Azure\n\n* DocumentDB\n\n* SQL\n\n* HTML\n\n* Build/Test CI (We use TeamCity)\n\n\n\n\nWork Remote or in Reno, Nevada\n\nWe're looking for the best candidate we can find in the US. Over half of our development team works remotely. It works very well with the help of Slack and Github.\n\nWe expect remote employees to overlap at least 6 hours with the Reno, Nevada office (we're there 8am-5pm Pacific time).\n\nSalary\n\nWe're looking to hire engineers for 100k/year.  If you ask for more we'll reject your application. If you're interested in the company please subscribe to our RSS feed at jobs.trainerroad.com for when a higher level job posting is open.\n\nPerks\n\n\n* Unlimited Vacation\n\n* 401k with 4% company matching \n\n* 99% of employees individual health care paid (I know 99% is weird...it's an ACA thing and it ends up being just a few dollars per paycheck)\n\n* Flexible schedule\n\n* Access to the latest fitness devices (power meters, trainers, sensors, etc.)\n\n\n\n\nYour Resume should have...\n\n\n* Links to any open source projects you've contributed to\n\n* Github/StackOverflow username if you'd like\n\n* Examples of experience in the "Optional Technology Experience" area\n\n\n\n\nYour Cover Letter should have...\n\n\n* Let us know why you want to work for TrainerRoad\n\n\n\n\nWe also Require...\n\nThe best engineers only want to work with other great engineers. We've found that the best way to find great engineers is to actually have them code, not just answer trivia questions during an interview.\n\nThat's why we require applications to do a refactoring exercise as part of their job submission. The right candidate won't find this a pain in the ass; it should be enjoyable.\n\nThis also weeds out the vast majority of candidates who just fire off resumes everywhere.\n\nYou can download the refactoring exercise here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/95pt8m84znr1jf7/bike-distributor-refactor.zip?dl=0\n\nIt has a readme.txt in it with instructions.\n\nExcited about our Company?\n\nIn your application let us know why you want to work with us and why you think you'd be a good fit for our company.\n\nFAQs\n\nDo I have to be a cyclist to apply?\n\nNope! Not everyone in the company is a cyclist. It helps if you're an active racer but it's not required. If you are a racer or TrainerRoad user let us know!\n\nWhat's unlimited vacation mean?\n\nThe CEO of TrainerRoad used to be an engineer at a Fortune 500 company where life was a grind. We believe employees put out their best work when they are happy and not burnt out.\n\nIf your brain just isn't working at 3 pm, we encourage employees to go home and rest up. It does no one any good to sit and stare at the computer screen for another two hours. We don't track that time.\n\nEmployees generally shoot for around four weeks of REAL vacation time (no slack checking) but some take more and some take less.  The thing we care about is how productive you can be and how much value you can add to the company. Bottom line, we want people who are passionate and get things done. If you meet those requirements everything else works itself out.\n\nThat being said, if you end up taking massive amounts of vacation, come in late, leave early and aren't producing outstanding work we're going to have a problem.\n\nHow do you work?\n\nWe're big believers in Deep Work and Flow. If you're not turning off Slack (snooze), going DND on your phone and shutting off the world for multiple hours a day you're probably not being as productive as you could be. The idea is a developer should be able to work on a chunk of work that they understand totally distraction free for multiple hours.  This is the only way the company moves forward.\n\nWe try to work as pragmatically as we can.  We have excellent designers on staff who go from mockups to responsive HTML with light javascript work.\n\nDevelopment uses Github with a strict pull request process. We test, comment, refactor and improve each other's pull requests.\n\nWe have partial test coverage and we're constantly improving in that area.\n\nWe have a QA team (we call them the Test Team) that checks every PR and does full regression checks for each release.\n\nWe have an Automation Team that only focuses on writing UI tests to speed up testing and find bugs faster.\n\nWe can one-click deploy our app on Alpha, Beta, and Production channels.\n\nWe can one-click deploy our website to Azure (includes smoke tests and warm up).\n\nWe have nightly builds that deploy to Test Flight and Google Play.\n\nWe often pair program via Screen Hero.\n\nWe work off bi-weekly sprint issue lists on Github.\n\nDevelopers get the super fast machines and awesome equipment. If it's going to let you be more productive we want to spend the money on it.\n\nYou didn't ask about education, what's required?\n\nPlease put your education on your resume, but we're not going to reject someone because they don't have a degree in Computer Science. We understand that some of the best and most passionate engineers are self-taught.\n\nHow long until I hear a response from you guys? What's the process?\n\nIf you don't follow directions in this job posting you'll be immediately rejected.  \n\nIf you did follow directions our goal is to review your refactoring within a week of submitting your application. All refactoring reviews are done "blind"; meaning the reviewer doesn't know your name, resume or where you're from.  Code is code and it should be reviewed that way without bias.\n\nIf we like you're refactoring we'll have you do a coding logic quiz.  Nothing super deep CS wise.  We've found that the candidates who do the best on these exercises are very successful at TrainerRoad.\n\nWe'll take the top combined refactoring and coding quiz results and set you up for a team interview.\n\nIf the team likes you; we'll then set up a pair programming session with you and our CTO.  We'll give you a tour of our codebase and work on a real issue. This gives you a chance to run away from our codebase screaming and also demonstrate that you can communicate with us.\n\nIf all of the above is good, you're hired!  \n\nI know this sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through but it works so so well!  Once you're onboard you'll love that everyone else went through the same process and is up to "your level" in terms of "get-shit-doneness".\n\nWhat's with the dishes analogy?\n\nDoing your own dishes is a GREAT analogy for our culture.  Don't leave shit around for someone else to clean up.  Do your own dishes.  Do you see someone making a mess? Let's discuss it (in a productive manner) so that we can nip that behavior in the bud.\n\nWe know we're really doing well when someone points out a manager not "doing their dishes" or causing an extra headache for a process that doesn't add value (it happens). Seriously, we need employees to call managers out on this.  I'm the CEO writing this; please oh please tell me if I'm messing up or not walking the talk.\n\nThis is the longest job posting ever, when does it end?\n\nRight now! Congrats if you made it this far! We look forward to looking at your resume and refactoring exercise. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Senior, Engineer, Developer, Digital Nomad, JavaScript, Education, HTML and Xamarin jobs that are similar:\n\n $60,000 — $125,000/year\n
