Raddish is looking to hire a full-stack software engineer to build out operational systems, back-end databases, develop/manage integrations across technology platforms, and maintain our front-end ecommerce website. As the first in-house technology hire, you'll have the opportunity to architect and own the development roadmap as we further digitize and optimize online customer experiences and build out infrastructure to support all areas of this rapidly growing business.
Passion about food and/or education is a plus, along with a background in ecommerce or recurring subscriptions. This is a wear-many-hats and get-your-hands-dirty opportunity, perfect for a candidate who thrives working in fast-paced, close-knit, startup environments.
You will have the opportunity to develop technical solutions that improve and automate internal business operations and enhance the customer experience. At Raddish, you will be working on all sides of a successful and profitable ecommerce startup while architecting custom-built solutions to help us scale.
Who are you?
- A self-starter who can strategize, design, and plan -- then build from scratch on your own.
- A strong communicator: you happily collaborate with other teams and departments; you write clearly and possess great organization skills.
- Somebody who is excited to build family focused products from the ground up that change how kids and their families eat!
What are the responsibilities?
- You are both the technical architect and only full-time engineer.
- Architect and develop a centralized, custom, internal system that manages ecommerce operations, fulfillment, inventory and interacts with existing marketing, billing, finance, and CRM services.
- Replace Excel-based operational and financial models with databases & business logic defined by this new system.
- Implement data & API integrations across all business platforms: multiple content management systems (Shopify & Chargify), email service provider (currently MailChimp), inventory management (StitchLabs), shipping provider (ShipStation), customer service software (Zendesk), and internal databases.
- Understand and effectively communicate design features and limitations and development decisions on all technical projects.
- Build and maintain reporting dashboards for inventory, marketing, order processing, finance, content, and customer service.
- As needed, hire, manage, and coordinate with engineering contractors.
- Develop new features and improve upon existing ones.
- Optimize for maximum speed, scalability, recovery, and security — including management of controls and protection from external threats.
- Front-end web development, optimization, and testing.
- Develop and maintain self-service customer portal for account and subscription management.
What are the requirements?
- BS or higher in Computer Science or related field
- 8 years of experience ideally within an eCommerce, subscription, or consumer-facing environment
- Strong knowledge of Azure, Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET MVC, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Microsoft SQL Server, and API implementation
- Ability to build and implement rapid prototypes to improve performance
- Define development standards, procedures, processes and guidelines to improve long-term development output and quality
