Description

Column is looking to hire a fullstack Software Engineer II or III to lead high-impact technical projects, mentor junior engineers and up-level our engineering practices on our public notice core engineering team. They will be responsible for executing against our product roadmap, identifying & addressing large-scale architectural issues, and strengthening the quality of our engineering org as a whole. The role will report directly to Sam Stern, Engineering Manager. 

What You'll Do

  • First Week: You will learn about Column's mission and vision and seek to understand our existing product and the engineering team. We're a small company that's growing quickly, so interpersonal rapport is essential. 
  • First Month: You will begin contributing positively to our company culture by fostering a low-ego attitude and socially supportive community. You will complete small-to-medium sized features from start to finish with little to no guidance. 
  • First Six Months: Following traditional SCRUM practices, you will use React, Node.JS and Firebase to build out end-to-end features that provide tech-enabled workflows to local newspaper publishers on our core public notice platform. You will proactively communicate technical decisions and help new team members get up to speed technically and procedurally. 
  • First Year: You will build a reputation for strong technical skills, gain the trust of those around you for your advice and judgement, and embrace quality in engineering best practices. 

Our Ideal Candidate

  • You're looking for a remote-first role working with wildly talented people who care about their impact on local communities
  • You have experience (~2-6 years) as a software engineer working with cross-functional teams, like product and design 
  • You are comfortable with Node.js and at least one modern web development framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc.)
  • You have strong analytical decision-making skills and can communicate your logic to both technical and non-technical audiences 
  • You are passionate about expanding your areas of expertise, understanding why things are the way they are, and love getting to the root of a problem, no matter where the problem leads. You value giving and receiving feedback to improve your own performance and help teammates grow 
  • You are based in North or South America and work in EST to PCT time zones — this is a must have for this particular role due to the clients you will support
  • You have a strong desire to exemplify our operating principles — be worthy of trust, do work that matters, never stop learning, intentionally build community, and tell a better story.
  • You have grit and really want to work with us — if you do not resemble our ideal candidate, tell us why you'd still be a great fit for this role in an optional cover letter. 

Compensation and Benefits
Column is built on the belief that important information should be accessible to the public. As such, we work hard to model this behavior for potential Columnists by including our base compensation in all job descriptions and making our full benefits accessible online.

  • For candidates outside of the US, we use a market multiplier and 12-month trailing conversion rate to convert on-target earnings into local currency. We also offer a meaningful equity stake and retirement plans relevant to the country (e.g., a pension plan in UK). 
  • In addition, all Columnists receive healthcare, vision, & dental coverage for them and their dependents
  • Unlimited (and encouraged) paid time off with a suggested 15-day minimum and 16-weeks paid parental leave 
  • Multiple stipends for you to invest in a home office setup and pursue wellness activities that make you feel healthy and whole
