The Role

You’ll join Addepar’s Software Platform group to build and improve foundational architecture for our many web applications. Your contributions will directly impact the scalability, performance, security, and productivity of Addepar’s web stack.

Our stack includes large Java, TypeScript, and JavaScript codebases. On the client we use Ember, React, TailwindCSS, and a number of other core libraries. Our hosting runs on a containerized AWS infrastructure with NGINX and CDN usage.

  • Build tooling that unlocks the productivity of your engineering, product, and design peers.
  • Take on the challenge of building a global product, and a distributed team.
  • Advocate for best practices and process improvements.

Who You Are

  • Strong and demonstrable knowledge of web fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HTTP, TCP)
  • An eagerness to learn new technologies
  • A capacity for self-organization and direction
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
  • Preferred but not required: Experience with TypeScript or JavaScript frameworks such as Ember.js, React, etc
  • Preferred but not required: Experience with web server scaling, CDN configuration and scaling, or web deployment and hosting configuration.

Our Values 

  • Act Like an Owner - Think and operate with intention, purpose and care. Own outcomes.
  • Build Together - Collaborate to unlock the best solutions. Deliver lasting value. 
  • Champion Our Clients - Exceed client expectations. Our clients’ success is our success. 
  • Drive Innovation - Be bold and unconstrained in problem solving. Transform the industry. 
  • Embrace Learning - Engage our community to broaden our perspective. Bring a growth mindset. 

In addition to our core values, Addepar is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We seek to bring together diverse ideas, experiences, skill sets, perspectives, backgrounds and identities to drive innovative solutions.
