Junior Software Developer

About Gardenport HQ:

Our website and apps help renters search listings, schedule tours and submit applications. We operate a subscription e-commerce site selling coffee, tea and brewing gear, shipped from our own warehouse. We started in 2014 and have grown to about 80 people. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana

What we're looking for:

• 0-2 years of professional software development experience
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
