Staff Engineer
Process Street

Headquarters: San Francisco, CA

• You want agency. We practice Basecamp's Shape Up process, and run 6-week cycles and 2-week cooldowns. For the 6-week cycles, PMs provide a problem statement and some guidelines – no tickets, no detailed specs, no hi-fidelity solutions, and no estimates. Designers and engineers are trusted to craft the best solution possible in the cycle using user research, data, experience, and grit. During the 2-week cooldowns, you have the autonomy to work on what's important to you – including code maintainability or making the team faster. If a lot of responsibility, freedom, and ambiguity sounds refreshing, this role is for you.
• You're well-versed in JavaScript and Scala (or Java/C#). Process Street is built on Scala/Play 2, AngularJS, React, Redux, Postgres, Serverless, and AWS. If you've scaled backend services beyond a monolith, you're an ideal candidate for this role. Experience with Scala is ideal, but not required. If you have Java or C# experience, you should apply.
• You love to ship. We move fast. We deploy continuously behind feature flags, and release to customers at the end of every cycle. We utilize CI/CD and maintain ~70% test coverage.
• You love process, but loathe meetings, bureaucracy, and ceremony. We think process is a tool. Used well, it makes us a better, faster team. But when it's not doing that, we drop it. We avoid unnecessary meetings whenever possible. A typical week for our engineers and designers has fewer than 5 hours of meetings.
• You want to have a big impact. We're a small team and we're still early stage. We don't have designated areas of responsibility, and everyone wears the product hat. Every cycle brings new challenges, and your sphere of influence is wide. You love the variety and don't want to be shackled to a single project for years.
• You have seven (7) or more years of experience in software development. We will hire in a range of levels for this position. So if the role excites you, and you have seven years of experience, but don't have the exact title listed here, you should apply.

• No all-day interview marathons. We use Calendly links to let you schedule interviews at the most convenient times for you.
• No lengthy take-home projects. That said, we do a collaborative coding exercise in an IDE-like environment during our interviews. It's more focused on how you approach your work than the code itself.
• No puzzles, algorithms, or gotcha questions. Our coding or design exercises are what you'd expect to do in a real-world on-the-job scenario.
• We don't hire everyone that passes. We care more that Process Street is going to be a fit for you. We know that our teammates aren't cogs in a machine, and you won't be interviewed like one.
• For us, diversity isn't just a buzzword. We actively focus on inclusivity and strongly encourage candidates who bring more diversity of opinion, experience, and background to apply.

• Fully remote team – No offices, no commute, forever.
• Unlimited PTO policy
• Annual company offsite* – (When not in a pandemic. We're doing a virtual one this year!)
• Social time – We know human connections are what make teams strong. We regularly do coffee chats, game-playing, story-telling, house tours (only if you're comfortable), and more to build connections.
• Generous health insurance for US employees and their families
