Software Developer
Mid-Senior
Overview

We are a digital product studio founded in Los Angeles. We are a fully remote team of passionate product designers, product managers, developers, and analysts. We solve business problems with data-driven decisions, impact-first designs, and elegant technology solutions.

We’re currently a lean team looking for a Software Developer to join the fold.

All our work is grounded in our three pillars: 1) data-driven decisions, 2) impact-first designs, and 3) elegant technology solutions.

We’ve been working with leading e-commerce brands since 2019 to level up their digital experience and create seismic growth for their business.

What you’ll do —

Our developers are part of a highly collaborative team and work across a multitude of digital product initiatives. As a Senior Developer, you must be skilled in front-end web development. You’ll work in HTML/CSS/JS (if you like Typescript we use it too). You’ll stand out if you have experience with tools like React, Vue, Tailwind, AlpineJS, or Ruby on Rails. Here are some of the things you’ll be working on day-to-day:

  • Build and maintain stores hosted on the Shopify platform
  • Evaluate and integrate Shopify apps, or build one if the problem calls for it!
  • Review your teammates code
  • See code as a tool to solve problems, but not the only way
  • Partner with a designer across different initiatives to figure our the best way to implement a feature or solve a problem for our clients

What we’re looking for —

We’re a small-but-nimble team and will expect the person hired for this role to hit the ground running. We think someone with 5+ years of full-time work experience at an in-house or agency development role will be most successful in this role. If you’ve had a different path, let us know how your experience has prepared you to be our newest Senior Developer in your cover letter!
