Ever meet someone who works at Jumpcut? You should -- our people are amazing. Here’s the good news: our 2019 growth plans are already aggressively underway. We’re searching for 2-3 front end engineers to join our core team.

Our engineering team is fully remote right now, and we work through Slack, Jira, and Github asynchronously. Our rates for engineers depend on experience level, but in general there are three tiers: junior engineers are paid $12.50 to $16.50 USD an hour, mid-level engineers are paid $16.50 to $20 USD an hour, and senior engineers are paid $24 USD an hour. We have raise and bonus cycles every year where you will be evaluated for increased pay, and if you demonstrate extreme drive and proficiency, we will promote you quickly.

We currently have 10 engineers on our team, and they hail from India, Philippines, Brazil, Cameroon, China, and Bosnia.

You will be responsible for:

Development.

Most of our solutions are in house, including our cinematic video platform. We are not only looking to make our education platform the best one online, but we want our code to be world class too. This means making good design decisions by factoring in our current architecture as well as where we're headed. The key here is to make sure the code that’s written is always extensible. You should also be writing beautiful code that matters, and you should be proud of each line you write.

You'll be working on a variety of tasks related to our Q1 workplan. Specifically, we're focused on bolstering our marketing efforts, so you'll be building out a A/B testing framework for our marketing funnel, and creating our optin, sales, and enrollment pages for our different courses. You'll also be helping with rapid MVP-style testing of different educational features for our course that will help our students be more successful. These include ideas like group collaboration, peer review, and a live bootcamp.

Mentoring.

We are looking to grow our team so that we can move as quickly as our startup is growing. This means we’ll be hiring people of all skill levels, and that you’ll be expected to help mentor those that are not as experienced. We are a culture where we help others grow, and want that to be applicable for everyone. This means being always the student AND the teacher.

Who you are working with:

You'll join a team of 10 other remote engineers who are working on various parts of the platform, and you'll be managed and mentored by Bo, our lead engineer, and Rahim, our director of engineering.

Tech Stack:

• Node.js
• React / Redux
• PostgreSQL
• HTML / CSS / Javascript
• AWS

We're looking for these personality traits:

• COMMUNICATION: Whenever there are issues, you need to communicate clearly with management / rest of the engineering team. You should be thinking about scaling at all times and how to prevent similar problems for other engineers in the future.
• SELF-SUFFICIENT: When we give you a task, it will just get done. You're not scared of any complicated technical issues -- you'll just dive straight into it and find a solutions. You have good technical opinions based on experience. You’ll speak up immediately when there’s any issues you can foresee based on past experiences for any processes or new technical decisions being made.
• PROACTIVE: You’ll constantly be thinking about the overall health of the organization, and making sure we are tackling the right priorities first. If you feel like we aren’t, you should be bringing this up to the director of engineering and making sure we add tasks that reflect what needs to get done.
• ATTENTION TO DETAIL: When you submit pull requests, you thoroughly test to make sure that you’ve covered all edge cases, instead of just solving for the most common one. When you review other people’s PRs, you don’t let anything slip through the cracks.
