Looking to get experience in a fast-paced, purpose-driven company? Ellevate Network is a community of professional women committed to helping each other succeed. We are committed to working with employees who believe that if we get diverse voices, especially those of women, to the table where decisions are made, we can have a more just and equitable world. 

We are looking for a full-time, full stack developer to join our rapidly growing New York City team. You would be joining a small team - you’ll be the fourth engineer! We strongly value individual perspectives and care deeply about building a positive work environment; each of our small teams operates with a high level of flexibility, autonomy and ownership for our path forward. 

You're right for the position if you're both collaborative and independent, if you’re ready to advance your own career trajectory, and if you’re eager to apply your technical skills to an important mission: supporting and growing our community of professional women.

Our interview process doesn’t involve white boarding, riddles, or games - we want to understand how you’ll fit into our team and contribute to our mission, not how well you recall syntax under pressure.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Vue.js & Heroku; prior experience as a software engineer is a requirement for this role, experience with our stack is a plus. 

What to expect in this role: 

• You’ll join a small, collaborative, tight-knit B Corp with a big mission: equality for all.
• You’ll have a high level of responsibility and ownership over impactful projects.
• You'll have direct access to our leadership team, with open lines of communication to discuss the role you play in our growing business.
• Be using Continuous Integration to build out new features.
• Take part in refracting & updating our current codebase.
• Estimate & meet deadlines using Agile/Scrum.
• You'll follow Ellevate style guides to ensure new functionality is in line with our current product.
• You'll use Github (with Codeship for predeploy testing) and Slack for team communication.
• You'll attend and assist at all-hands-on-deck Ellevate events in NYC, up to twice a month, after-work on weekdays; we adjust our flexible hours on other days to account for these longer evenings.

Who will be successful in this role?

• You're collaborative - able to work independently or in a team. 
• You're quick on your feet - you know when to be scrappy and when to invest and stop cutting corners.
• You can effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical team members. 
• You're flexible, empathetic, and patient with both team members and users.
• You're self-motivated, perseverant and excited to contribute to our mission.

• SASS/SCSS or CSS.
