Description
Apartment Therapy and The Kitchn are looking for a web engineer to join our small (but awesomely effective) technology team, building tools to help our millions of monthly readers make their homes more beautiful, healthy & organized.We seek a front-end specialist with experience building non-trivial javascript applications. Our team is geographically dispersed (you can work from wherever you are), so the ability to communicate well over (text and video) chat and email is key. Ideally, you have significant experience with Backbone.js (or similar javascript frameworks), a strong instinct for delivering a high quality user experience, and have an interest in building community-centric tools for our large audience of home design enthusiasts and home cooks.
We are a team of active learners and we maintain a supportive team culture. We have invested a great deal in optimizing our development & deployment toolchain, including extensive monitoring and systems management tools. We ship code every day. This last year we paid down our technical debt credit card and are iterating rapidly on our newly tightened up stack. We are close to releasing an updated responsive design for our sites. We're excited for another hand to join us in delivering a continually improved experience for our audience. Our company is bootstrapped, profitable and growing steadily.
In addition to standard benefits, we offer profit-sharing 401(k), bi-annual team retreats (one in NYC, one elsewhere; last year was Palm Springs, CA; this year will be Austin, TX) with a small, smart, effective & supportive team.
To apply, please email the address below outlining briefly how you see yourself contributing to our team. Please include a resume, salary requirements (a range is ok) and any relevant links (e.g., github profile, stackoverflow profile, work you are proud of).
Please, no recruiters nor agencies. US persons only.
