Notion - Portland, OR - Full-stack Developer <a href="http://usenotion.com" >
Notion is a new company focused on simplifying business intelligence tools to help teams and companies make data-driven decisions.
You’re ready to be a key player at a startup using the latest in backend and front-end technologies to provide better insights for workers like us to make better data-driven decisions when building products, systems, and businesses. We think there is a huge opportunity for teams to leverage the data they already have and we’re ready to provide the fast-paced, forward-thinking environment you’ve been dreaming of.
Come join our startup team with a track record of success to create your perfect future.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
Be a leader of product development. You should be able to work independently, as well as mentor more junior developers. You’ll play a critical role in defining timelines and development approaches.
Act as a voice of the customer and product. We believe design and engineering coexist side-by-side, so you’ll work closely with us on user experience, design, and technology – not just on technical feasibility, but creative possibilities. This is your opportunity to create an amazing product and see it grow beyond even what we can imagine.
A generalist that loves the details. You believe in writing maintainable backend and front-end performant code that is well organized. You believe in tests and testing. You see the web as just another client and want to push the limits on what’s possible.
Love a challenge. Embrace risk. We know startups aren’t for everyone, and so do you. We don’t have to put in 80hr work weeks, but you know fixing that last bug matters; adding that key feature means a huge win for our latest customer; that we’ll try a lot of new things and some will work, some will not; that we’re building the best team you’ve ever been a member of.
