Software Engineer, Full Stack

About the role

Morning Brew is looking for a Full-Stack Engineer II passionate about building approachable, innovative and user-first experiences to join our small but growing Engineering team. You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining backend and frontend functionality across all of Morning Brew’s applications. We’re looking for someone who leans backend but is dangerous enough on the frontend of the stack. Preferably, you have strong Ruby on Rails experience but you’re also very interested in helping the team move away from Rails. This role sits within Product and reports to the Director of Engineering.

What you'll do:

• Building out new and enhancing existing internal tools, consumer-facing websites & newsletter experiences
• Helping to shape and build paid products and services within our new and fast-moving Education arm of the company
• Helping to maintain a couple legacy Rails 5 monolithic applications while also helping to decide how we break these apart or retire as needed.
• Building new services in an event-driven architecture and seeing the service through from inception to production
• Collaborating with the engineering team, performing code review, and helping to set best development practices and guidelines
• Collaborating with Product Managers, Product Designers, and other engineers to plan, design, and implement business requirements

About you

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on building, maintaining, and deploying production-ready code within a event-driven architecture
• 1+ years of experience building, deploying, and maintaining GraphQL or REST APIs
• 1+ years of experience managing Linux-based systems in a public cloud like AWS or GCP
• Strong experience in Ruby is preferred; Golang experience is a huge plus
• Strong experience in building paid products and services is preferred
• You can work independently and are comfortable owning entire projects and/or large areas of the code base
• You are passionate about creating & maintaining good principled software patterns for others on the team to follow
• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment and willing to wear many hats

What else are we looking for?

Character and integrity rank pretty high on the list. Our team is guided by our core values:

• Curious - We strive to learn every day through constant questioning and exploration.
• Purposeful – We do everything with the highest level of thoughtfulness, preparation and focus.
• Empathetic - We are good, genuine people who embrace others' perspectives.
