THE ROLE

As a foundational member of our engineering team, you'll do all backend work to help ship new features for our web app.  

We have a frequent cadence of shipping new features and a close connection to our market.  With 800k monthly active users spending hundreds of thousands of hours on the platform, each contribution and feature you ship will have a meaningful impact for the users.

Since we're a startup, you'll have to be willing to get your hands dirty with (and learn) lots of technologies across the backend stack: API design, data engineering, algorithms, startup engineering, analytics, monitoring, web crawling, etc. as well as the frontend stack (it's fine to not have any frontend experience starting out).

 

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

3+ years of experience with backend engineering

Clean simple code, even when solving complex problems

Good systems design

Ability to learn new tech quickly

Enjoyable to work with

TECHNOLOGY STACK

Python, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Redis, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind, AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Pinecone, OpenAI

Here's what UpCodes enables for you:
+ A multi-dimensional way of looking at a jurisdiction’s adopted codes, enabling your team to find the code requirements and amendments quickly and easily.
+ Seamless access to a jurisdiction’s adopted codes, as well as visibility into how the code has evolved.

+ Levels up the team’s collective expertise of code requirements with a centralized source of truth for code commentary, bookmarking, and compliance management.
