Promise (YC W18) (https://joinpromise.com/jobs) | Oakland, CA | Software Engineer | Full-time | ONSITE We're fixing the criminal justice system in the USA. Looking to for two Full-stack Software Engineers. One Senior and on junior to mid-level. Even if you don't meet have 100% of the experience, you are encouraged to apply. Interns and/or fresh out of University/bootcamp encouraged to apply (self-taught folks welcome as well). We're a small mission-focused product engineering team: three product engineers (counting the Head of Engineering). Our tech stack is full-stack JavaScript including React on the frontend, React Native (using Expo) for our mobile app, and Graphql at the API layer. (There is a tiny bit of Python plumbing too.) We have users and customers of our early products but there is much left to do refining, expanding, and developing entirely new products. We work closely with the product team, sales, and customer success to understand our customers and deliver quickly. Our co-founders are two dynamic and experienced women with deep insight into the criminal justice space. In total, we're a diverse team of eleven with backgrounds from top tech companies, elite institutions, self-taught people, vc-backed startups, labor unions, and non-profits. Also seeking one or two Forward Deployed Engineers.
