Job Description

**Please note: due to the large volume of applications, to apply for this
position you must email me directly (seth at typecode dot com) with a little
bit about why you 're interested in the position / how you're a fit.**

_Type/Code recognizes that diverse teams make the strongest teams. Candidates
from traditionally underrepresented groups in tech are highly encouraged to
apply._

At 16 people, our team is lean, and our developers are top notch. As an
engineer at Type/Code, you won’t just be churning out code at breakneck speed,
blindly following a spec, disconnected from your work. You’ll care about the
products you build and the community you build it with. You’ll exercise
autonomy and decision making alongside team collaboration and mentorship to do
amazing work.

At Type/Code you’ll be expected to constantly learn and grow on the job,
taking on interesting tasks outside your normal wheelhouse and expanding your
toolkit. That said this is a senior role and significant experience (4+ years)
as an engineer is a must. If you lean front or backend that's fine as well as
long as you feel solid in both.

##What We Value:

* Community: our team is small and close knit and we want you to join the family
* Work/life balance: we're not a startup, we tend to stay away from projects with difficult deadlines (not to say it doesn't happen), and we want you to be happy so should make your non-work life a priority!
* Thoughtful, high quality work: we want you to own what you do, care about it, want to do it well, and create something you feel good about
* Communication: especially in the current distributed model, frequent and clear communication with the team is crucial

_As a senior level position, experience with all of the below is preferred
(though the specific language/technologies are not) and expertise in some is
assumed. As such, in your cover letter/email we’d love to hear about your
experience with the following:_

* Frontend development: we're primarily a vuejs shop, though we have some react projects/needs. We also generally use sass and we'd love someone with solid styling chops. Experience with Nuxt or YetiJS is strongly preferred.

* Backend development: very python/django heavy (DRF experience a must) but we increasingly have been deploying node projects (and far fewer but occasional light laravel as well). Wagtail, Statamic, PayloadCMS, or SnipeCMS experience a big plus.

* Version control and issue tracking: github and increasingly all the fancy github features (issues, discussions, actions, secrets, etc)

* Development lifecycle: we're not super rigid here, but we follow a formal dev/stage/deploy process with extensive code review and QA, TDD when we can, and as agile as makes sense for the project/requirements

We have a solid mix of greenfield SPA applications, API backends, and some
complex CMS projects.

Though our team is currently pretty distributed we've recently opened a
Brooklyn office and local employees are encouraged to come in if they'd like
to — our only location requirement is that you have sufficient work hours
overlap with the rest of the team.

##Compensation & Benefits:

* Competitive salary
* Paid paternal leave
* Health, dental, and vision insurance
* 401k Matching
* Generous vacation policy; unlimited sick days
* Professional growth stipend
* Flexible hours & locations
