Job description

At Proposales, we're on a mission to shape the future of business proposals, replacing static documents by defining a new online standard fully powered by web technology (literally, a piece of internet infrastructure).

Read about our mission: https://mission.proposales.com. We're looking for a truly gifted Lead Engineer to join our Product team. This is a unique opportunity to bring your passion and ideas to a fast-growing tech company, to further develop the limitless possibilities of the Proposales’ platform.

As a Lead Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in developing, improving, and maintaining our platform, infrastructure and core in alignment with our Tech Lead and our product roadmap. You'll write testable, maintainable, and scalable code, and take lead on executing the shaping our engineering culture and work processes to make Proposales succeed a place you look forward to in the morning. We are inspired by the "Shape up" process from 37signals.

Joining a company early is exciting, not only will you be part of defining the vision, as one of our first employees, you will receive a competitive package, including a stock option program, personal training budget, and much more.

Your mission:

• Write testable, maintainable and scalable code and always with a quality mindset
• Continuously optimise and iterate on your ideas and solutions, and always strive for even better performance and user experience
• Be ready to embrace new technologies and paradigms as we move Proposales into a serverless era
• Join us in shaping our engineering culture to make Proposales a place you look forward to in the morning

What we believe in:

We use a serverless, continuous-delivery infrastructure hosted on Vercel, built using Next.js and written in TypeScript.

When deciding on a tech stack for a new sub-project, we usually take the opportunity to assess new tech early and plan for long-term benefits and maintainability over short-term goals. But we also value simple solutions over smart ones, and embrace test-driven development and pair programming, favoring higher code quality over faster development times.

We generally prefer a functional programming style over object-orientation and like to avoid abstractions like middlewares or ORMs.

We prefer monorepos with multiple smaller projects, instead of one monolithic application. We avoid code duplication by extracting core logic and UI into separate internal libraries.

Some of the technologies you would be working with:

• Javascript
• React
• Node.js
• Next.js
• TypeScript
• PostgreSQL
• Vercel

A bit about you:

• Strong coding ability in Javascript
• Experience with advanced JavaScript libraries and frameworks
