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.
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.
Send a resume/linkedin/github and optional (but appreciated) cover letter explaining why you feel you would be a great fit for Type/Code to:
