Overleaf (<a href=") | REMOTE | Full-time | Back End Developers
Overleaf builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists --- like Google Docs for Science. We have over six million registered users from around the world. Our primary product is an online, real-time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports and other documents written in the LaTeX markup language.
We acquired ShareLaTeX in 2017 and have since merged the two platforms.
We plan to add two developers to our team, both with a back end focus. Ideally, we'd like to find one developer with web analytics and data pipeline experience and one who would be interested in a team lead role in the future.
Our stack currently includes Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Angular.js (going away), React and a some Ruby on Rails.
Some reasons you'd enjoy working with us:
- Most of our code is open-source and we're big fans of Free Software.
- Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Our core hours are 2pm--5pm UK time. Applicants in the US, Canada and UK/EU are preferred.
- We're agile (with a lowercase a). We test thoroughly (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.
- Remote is a first class citizen; even before the pandemic, all founders and employees worked remotely. When we can do so again, we'll get everyone together in London a few times a year for valuable face to face time.
