Who we are:

We are bootstrapped and profitable, with a Shopify store and a small warehouse unit in San Antonio. The founders built the first version of the site in 2001 on nights and weekends.

The role:

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. The Head of Engineering will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design.

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

About you:

• 12+ years of professional software development experience.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.

Also helpful:

• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.

Benefits:

• Health insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid holidays.
• Annual bonus.
• Profit sharing.
• Cell phone reimbursement.
