Clerky - REMOTE - Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails, Javascript)
Help fix the legal industry!
The way legal transactions are done is filled with inefficiencies, which leads to ridiculously high legal fees. We're fixing this by building software that automates and streamlines the process.
We're profitable and growing. We launched a company formation service last year, and are now one of the most popular ways for high-growth technology startups to incorporate. Y Combinator and 500 Startups both use our software to handle their investment paperwork.
If you are interested in fixing the legal industry, this is arguably the best place to be (no hyperbole).
We use a lot of Ruby on Rails and Javascript, so familiarity with these technologies is a requirement. That said, we're not religious about any particular technology - we believe in using the right tool for a given problem (we also have services written in Scala and Go). We have extensive spec and feature coverage, and have everything hooked up to a continuous integration server.
This is a great fit for people who want to work:
... at a product-driven company bringing an old-fashioned industry into the future
... on a product that has a lot of usage and visibility in the startup community
... in a company that strongly values good software development practices
... at a financially sound company
... hard, with ownership and dedication (but sustainably)
... with flexible hours and competitive pay
... where you'll be a key early hire
Some hard requirements we have:
- An inability to write anything but clean, maintainable code.
- Bothered by code without test coverage.
- 5+ years of experience building software as part of a team with strong development practices
- 5+ years of experience with Rails and Javascript
We are not looking for consultants.  This position is for full-time employment.
If all of this sounds good to you, please send (1) your resume and (2) a code sample that you're proud of to jobs at clerky.com.
