We are a tight-knit tech startup looking to hire a full-time Backend Engineer to join our growing team here in beautiful Westwood, CA (our Los Angeles HQ near UCLA). 

UpKeep is backed by Y Combinator, and some of the top VC’s in the world! We've also just been named one of Built in LA's 'Top Places to Work'! UpKeep is creating a modern, intuitive, and efficient maintenance management system that is proven to simplify the maintenance workflow process. Our CMMS is mobile-first, collaborative, and rated #1 in ease of use. 

We offer top-notch benefits such as company equity, unlimited PTO, 401k, and affordable health insurance options. Employees here love our casual dress code, fully stocked kitchen, weekly catered lunches, and dog-friendly office. We don't believe in strict policies or rigid structures. As a startup, we're flexible, agile, and love to learn! 

At UpKeep, our goal isn’t to automate the blue-collar worker’s job through AI, machine learning, or big data; it’s to empower maintenance teams to become twice as productive and allow them to receive recognition for the meaningful work they do that is often lost in a paper trail. As a member of our engineering team, you will play a vital part in providing our customers software that is easy to use, guarantees mobility and access, and streamlines communication across teams.

What you'll do:

• Make pragmatic execution decisions, while maintaining software quality
• Build and document Application Programming Interface (API), stand up a DB, pitch in on release tooling
• Write Node.js API services to connect frontend code
• Participate in code review
• Work closely with frontend and the design team

What you've done: 

• At least 3+ years of experience in backend development
• Experience with Node, AWS services, SQL, Mongo
• Experience writing unit and functional tests with Jest, Mocha, or other
• BS in Computer science or equivalent preferred
