Backend Developer (Node.js)

Role Summary

Are you an exceptionally strong, mid-to-senior Backend Developer with an independent mindset? Do you want to work remotely on challenging projects within a great community? Sounds like you’ll be a great fit for Clearview .

We are currently seeking a mid-to-senior-career engineer with ironclad coding skills and the proven ability to work effectively, proactively and independently but within the context of a small, self-directed engineering team.

It would be awesome if

You have some experience working remotely (but if you’re a clear communicator with rock-solid reliability and you’re curious about making the leap to remote, we’ll guide you through it)

You understand the AWS / GCP / Docker / K8s services and ecosystem.

You understand CI tools and implement CD (Delivery/Deployment)

We’re a remote-first, distributed software company with team members spread across the globe. We help startups and scaling companies build products and grow their engineering teams.

Why do people join Clearview ? To make an impact. To grow as people and professionals. To enjoy schedule flexibility unlike anything they’ve ever experienced in a workplace. To be surrounded by developers who they can learn from. We are truly excited to be creating waves in an industry under transformation.

We bring Clearview teammates on as full-time contractors, but our list of benefits looks nothing like traditional contract freelancing. We offer all our teammates:

Unparalleled flexibility of working hours -- which means operationalized family-first, soul-first values

Paid skill expansion (so you can keep growing as you work with us).

• Coworking (or home office optimization) budget
• A local meet-up budget for our co-located teammates to hang out outside of work
• Annual summits , for company-wide face time

True innovation comes from an exchange of knowledge across all of our teams. To put people on the path to success, we nurture a culture built on trust, collaboration, and personal growth. You will often work independently, but when you’re working on a team it will be a small, feature-based, cross-functional team. One thing you can be certain of: You will be empowered to take ownership.

Responsibilities

You’ll need to be

• Fluent in the English language, both spoken and written (however: we don’t mind which version of the English language it is)
• Comfortable working effectively, proactively and independently within the context of a small, self-directed team of developers.
• A fully proactive and self-directed time-management expert, very capable and happy working independently while communicating very regularly with your intercontinental teammates.

Requirements

What we expect of you

Several years of professional experience in software development

• You’ll write lots of Node.js code, incorporating best practices, design patterns and frameworks that will last for years to come.
• Strong experience and understand the ins and outs of JavaScript and Node.js.
• Extensive experience with Git, GitHub and GitLab
• Implement automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
• Create pull requests (While you’re at it, review your teammates’ pull requests too, mentoring the more junior members of our development team.)
• You’ll participate in design sessions with your team members, coming up with the optimum technical solution: one that not only meets business requirements, but does so with performance, scalability and maintainability in mind.
• You’ll innovate. There’s always something we can improve upon, whether it be process or tools or technology choices. If you can dream it, you’ll likely get to build it.
• You have a strong understanding of SQL databases (Postgres, MySQL..), Redis and Elasticsearch
