General
What we do 🪵
Our mission is to empower building materials suppliers with great technology. There are over $1,000,000,000,000 of building materials bought in the US every year, and many of these transactions happen in on-prem point-of-sale systems. We want to bring these transactions online, enabling better experiences for contractors and homeowners alike.
This Role
What you’ll achieve with us 🥇
You’ll iterate on the entire software stack to ship exciting new features and fix bugs.
You’ll work closely with product & design stakeholders and talk to our clients to collectively define what we’re building.
You’ll help us execute on those product requirements.
Requirements ✅
You enjoy talking to customers and learning about their needs.
You collaborate well cross-functionally, especially with designers and product managers
You enjoy giving and receiving all types of feedback frequently.
You’re excited to work in-person at our office in Redwood City. At this early stage, we’re all friends and enjoy being together. Even more, we think there’s a magic that happens brainstorming around a whiteboard that we’ve failed to find working remote.
Icing on the cake 🎂
You have worked as a software engineer for 2-5 years.
You have worked in a fast-paced startup environment.
You have written frontend software using React, Redux, and TypeScript.
You have written backend software using Go and Postgres.
You have familiarity with construction or building materials.
Interview process
Intro Call (30 min): Simply for us to get to know one another!
Take-Home Project: We believe take-home projects are the interview process most reflective of the day-to-day. Given our belief that someone’s "slope" is more important than their "y-intercept", we used to make a different take-home project for every candidate based on what they didn’t know. Now, we have a standard take-home project for each candidate.
Meet the team (~4 hours): This will consist of
Pair Programming (1 hour): Extending the take-home project.
Architecture (1 hour): Designing a new solution.
Lunch (1 hour): A meal eaten around the middle of the day [citation].
Culture (2x30 min): Asking some questions about your past experience.
