The Role

As an early engineer, you will have the unique opportunity to work directly with Phoenix 's founders to build the product from the ground up. We are looking for someone who enjoys designing, developing, and maintaining back-end applications.

We are seeking an ambitious and nice engineer who has experience independently executing complex projects and building scalable, maintainable software. As a purveyor of developer productivity analytics, we are diligent about process efficiency and code quality. Though we are small, we try to avoid unnecessarily creating technical debt and are looking for someone who can lead us toward this goal.

• Manage a backlog of tech debt reduction and internal efficiency improvements

Qualifications
• Experience building and maintaining a complex back end application
• Familiarity with principles of high-quality code, including continuous integration, declarative and functional programming
• Strong communication skills for interfacing with non-technical stakeholders and occasionally with customers
• Well-versed in agile or lean planning and project management processes
• Experience with the core stack (Postgres, Next.js, Apollo GraphQL) or similar technologies is preferred
• Proficiency with infrastructure (AWS, Terraform) is optional, but nice to have

Benefits and Perks
• Competitive base salary, bonus, and seed-stage equity compensation
• 100% remote work, flexible hours, and unlimited vacation policy. (Read here about how we built trust in our previous all-remote company.)
• Full health care premium coverage for you and your family
• Unique career development guidance reporting directly to the founder/CEO

We offer competitive compensation packages along with stock options based on industry benchmarks for function, and level. Offer amounts are determined by multiple factors such as a candidate's experience and expertise.
