Software Engineer - work remotely

Description

Help fix the legal industry!
The way legal transactions are done is filled with inefficiencies, which leads to ridiculously high legal fees. We're fixing this by building software that automates and streamlines the process.

We're profitable and growing sustainably. We launched a company formation service last year, and are now one of the most popular ways for high-growth technology startups to incorporate. Y Combinator and 500 Startups both use our software to handle their investment paperwork.

We use a lot of Ruby on Rails and Javascript, so familiarity with these technologies is a requirement. That said, there are plenty of opportunities to use other technologies - we have services written in Scala and Go, and will be writing more in these and other languages. We're not religious about any particular technology - we believe in using the right tool for a given problem. We have extensive spec and feature coverage, and have everything hooked up to a continuous integration server.

This is a great fit for people who want to work:

... at a product-driven company bringing an old-fashioned industry into the future

... on a product that has a lot of usage and visibility in the startup community

... in a company that understands the importance of good software development practices

... at a financially sound company

... hard but sustainably, with flexible hours and plenty of autonomy

... where you'll be a key early hire

You should have an inability to write anything but clean, maintainable code, a strong appreciation for testing, and be very comfortable writing a Rails app from scratch. FizzBuzz should be a joke for you.

This position is for full-time employment and is truly remote - those outside the US are strongly encouraged to apply. We are not looking for consultants.
