ABOUT THE COMPANY

Our company is a content-driven affiliate network. We help our ~400 global partners grow their companies using state-of-the-art affiliate technology. Our company’s goal is to empower content creators and high-quality brands to work together to build lasting relationships which support each others' growth.

We are looking for an experienced full stack web developer to work closely with our CTO as our first hire in a software development role. We are a fully-remote company based in Canada.

OBJECTIVES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

As a small but growing software startup, our codebase has many facets, ranging from highly performance-optimized code to API integrations, web crawling, product directory imports and UI development. No two days will be the same, and you will be required to wear many hats.

The ideal candidate will have the capability to build features from start to finish, including database queries, back-end business logic and client-facing user interfaces.

Your work will vary from small UI bugfixes through to, with experience, larger feature development. You will interact with the founders daily.

Example features you may work on:

• Implementation of REST APIs (for partners to integrate with us)
• Shopify application development
• Product/Partner directories (e.g. search / filtering UI)
• Onboarding flows
• Reporting charts and tables
• Admin tasks (internal tools to help our staff be more efficient)
• Investigation into error reports
