Job description

About the Role

Zirtual is seeking a Full Stack Engineer. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the steady rhythm of maintaining and improving existing systems. As our Full Stack Engineer, you'll be responsible for the full lifecycle of development and ongoing maintenance for both internal and client-facing applications. While you’ll have autonomy in your work, you’ll also partner closely with our Operations and Marketing teams to ensure our tools stay effective, efficient, and user-friendly.

This role isn’t currently focused on rapid scaling or constant feature development—it’s more about thoughtful maintenance, steady improvement, and supporting existing systems that are already in place.

The entire codebase is written in TypeScript. Our backend is built with Node, PostgreSQL, Apollo, and Redis. Our web apps are built with React and Apollo. We also developed a native iOS app in Swift, utilizing both UIKit and SwiftUI.

Our backend integrates with multiple third-party APIs, including OpenAI, Twilio, Airtable, Google Calendar, Slack, SendGrid, Intercom, and many more.

Ideal Candidate

You are ready to take the lead and feel comfortable working independently, knowing when to seek outside help. You utilize product and design thinking to help identify and build useful tools for customers and internal business needs. You pay close attention to user experience and are excited to work with the entire team to improve the product in every way possible, not just the code.

You enjoy working with engineering applications in a dynamic environment where development empowers the business and its customers.

You thrive in a low-bureaucracy environment where engineers are expected to take initiative in identifying and solving problems, developing skills, and building great products. You collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and are excited about the opportunity to teach and learn from others. You can effectively explain complex ideas to non-engineering teams and collaborate constructively with them on a shared goal.

Who you are

• You have a degree in computer science, telecommunications, or electrical engineering, or relevant experience.
• You have 5 years of programming experience, including 3 years of experience using React, GraphQL, Node, and TypeScript.
• You have a deep understanding of relational databases
• You are familiar with or excited to learn about Apollo, React Hooks, Redis, Chrome Extensions, various productivity APIs (Slack, Zapier...)
• You’re confident in your skills, but recognize when leveraging a third-party or partner is the most efficient solution.
• You are a self-starter and are not afraid to deal with ambiguity. You are excited by the ownership opportunities that come with a small core team.
• You like taking initiative to make your team more efficient by implementing tooling and process improvements.
• You are not afraid of throwing code away, as needs can change quickly. You are open to getting out of your lane and contributing to parts of our stack that are new to you, when it delivers the most impact for the team.
• You bring energy to your teammates and thrive at pushing things forward. You communicate well with a diverse team.
• Authorized to work in the US.

• An insanely supportive team, working to build great products and make delegation simpler and easier for everyone
• Fully remote
• Flexible schedule, including PTO and paid parental leave
• 401(k) and health benefits
• Pay $90,000 - $180,000 per year based on experience

Schedule:

• Regular business hours in ET, CT, or PT
