Principal Software Engineer @Folk🚀 Folk is looking for Principal Software Engineers to bring our product vision to life by developing well-thought features that have thousands of users waiting for them. We are not specifically looking for a frontend, a backend, or a full-stack engineer because what matters to us are not positions but what we can build together. And so far there is room for every type of developer.
We’re focused on a high level approach of how to build the right things the right way. A lot of effort is spent preparing the work, questioning the purpose of the project, analysis what’s existing so we can define the required evolutions of the stack. We value preparation as much (if not more) than implementation.
Frontend: ReactJS, Typescript
Backend: NodeJS, TypeScript, SQL, Redis, Kafka
SaaS: Algolia, Gitlab, Figma, Slack (gif-less so far…)
Hosting: AWS
Monitoring: Datadog
If you want to know more about the daily life at folk, the following sections should interest you 👀
You have an architect track record and have actively designed complex architectures. You have been involved in complex multi-services, multi-technologies environments. You have have foreseen changes to be made over several month to reach a new state.
You believe preparing work is more valuable than doing the work. There is nothing that you dislike more than rushing into the code. Instead, you plan and prepare by spending the required time allowing to identify the key areas and the main evolutions needed. The rest should be like playing along a score sheet of music.
You’re a great software developer and individual contributor building fast, reliable, real-time web-based applications. You want to work with skilled people who have a real focus on the customer experience, be it other developers or product and design people.
You’re looking to take ownership over a project from start to finish: understand the business logic, the requirements and ensuring delivery.
You value quality and performance. You build a feature with the highest level of quality possible at the time and working with scaling or high load application is not something that scares you.
