About the Role
Stock is a B2B marketplace that moves surplus inventory from companies to nonprofits. The platform was built end to end by one engineer; you would be the second. The role is full stack, with no defined lanes. We are open on level, from early-career engineers who have shipped real software to senior engineers who want to build rather than manage.
Key Responsibilities
- Scope a feature with the founders.
- Build, ship, and run software in production.
- Fix issues when they arise.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Elixir and Phoenix on the backend.
- Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend.
- Kubernetes and Terraform underneath.
- Experience shipping and running a production web app, including post-launch.
- Comfort across backend, frontend, and infrastructure, with strength in at least one area.
- Experience in a typed or functional language, with the ability to pick up Elixir.
- Experience integrating with and designing around misbehaving third-party APIs.
- Ability to turn a vague business problem into scoped, shipped software.
- Strong written communication skills.
Qualifications
- Prior Elixir experience is a plus, but not a requirement.
- For early-career candidates, showing something you built and ran yourself counts more than a resume.
Compensation
- Salary: $120,000–$140,000, set by level.
- Meaningful early-employee equity.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Flexible PTO.
- Office closed between Christmas and New Year's.
- Choice of machine and tools.
How to Apply
Send a short note to [email protected] with:
- A link to something you built.
- A few sentences on why this role.
- Your favorite ice cream flavor in the subject line ('my favorite ice cream flavor is: <flavor here>').
- A resume is optional.
