Description
About your team 

We’re part of the Text Platform. Our vision is to empower customers by providing seamless integration with Text APIs. We have developed the Text.com Marketplace, where customers can purchase applications that extend our core products. We also support developers in building apps. Additionally, we are enhancing our API usage for developers and recently created Workflows, a groundbreaking product designed to simplify and automate everyday tasks without any coding.

What does our team do? We’re the people behind the Text Developer Program. We create tools for software developers who want to sell apps on our Marketplace. We help them build and monetize their applications. Some tools include app monitoring services or monetization and distribution services.

Our team consists of two frontend developers, a backend developer, a designer, a QA engineer, and a Product Manager.

Our way of working is inspired by ShapeUp, although we don’t follow it religiously. It might sound cliche, but we do try to be agile — we believe that done is better than perfect. 

Role & Responsibilities:

  • Maintain our primary Golang service, which powers the Developer Console and the entire Developer Program ecosystem;
  • Migrate suboptimal functionalities from the main service to a new service to enhance efficiency and the developer experience;
  • Build and scale new backend services and APIs that empower external developers to create and optimize their own applications;
  • Take ownership of and lead technical projects from ideation and requirements gathering to final delivery and deployment;
  • Participate in team meetings — although they are infrequent, we occasionally meet to brainstorm new features and shape projects;
  • Collaborate closely with your team and other backend developers across Platform teams to create seamless, integrated solutions.

Our ideal candidate:

  • Has over four years of experience in backend development, with at least two years of experience in Go, allowing you to excel in creating scalable, high-performance products;
  • Has experience with MySQL databases — ElasticSearch is a plus;
  • Has experience with migration processes and designing systems from scratch;
  • Is curious and a natural problem-solver, thrives in complex environments, and is eager to dive into the details to find the best solutions;
  • Is ownership-driven, takes full responsibility for projects, seeing them through from start to finish with a focus on delivering results;
  • Exhibits a can-do attitude and a willingness to innovate. Challenges don’t discourage you from proactively seeking solutions rather than focusing on the complexity of the project;
  • Has great communication skills. We’re an interdisciplinary team. Your teammates will be professionals of various crafts, and you’ll have to find a common language with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
