Kipsu
Full Stack Developer
Original posting
Kipsu | Full Stack Developer | Minneapolis, MN | Onsite | Full-Time or Intern
Kipsu is a 6-year old, bootstrapped company whose messaging tools keep personal connections at the heart of service. Our “back in the day” is right now. These are the glory days that will be referenced with nostalgia by employees 1 - 50 after we careen well past 200.
We’re seeking a full stack developer to join our engineering team of 9. Some reasons you might want to toss your hat in the ring:
Autonomy - our engineering team cultivates a culture of trust and responsibility that empowers developers to drive meaningful changes and make their own architectural choices
Impact - small, nimble teams means that your work makes a measurable difference in the success of the business (and yes, even moving the proverbial needle!)
Evolution - our all-in, continuous improvement attitude lends itself to blameless retros; we value learning from our mistakes as individuals and as a team
Conviviality - we’re a Best Places to Work awardee chock full of smart, friendly Minnesotans (and a couple Ioweigians) who prioritize relationships and love treating our customers and each other ridiculously well
Bonus: We embrace modern DevOps practices, with a focus on collaboration from design and coding through deployment and beyond
Our ideal match is a full-stack developer with demonstrated experience building web applications with Javascript and front-end frameworks as well as a solid, scalable backend codebase by applying object-oriented principles using PHP, Node.js, Java, Go, or other languages and frameworks. Amazon Web Services (AWS) or other cloud computing platforms and experience building native mobile applications for iOS or Android are a huge bonus.
If you’re interested in learning more from our VP of Talent, we welcome you to text us at (612) 400-7222, email us at resume@kipsu.com, or to view our full job description here and apply. Either way, a human will get back to you!
