Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Merchbar’s Engineers are the backbone of Merchbar and each have a personal, direct impact on a product that supports hundreds of thousands of artists and reaches many millions of fans.

Our organization is small and individual roles are deep - all of our engineers contribute across the entire stack and develop through all stages of development from scoping and architecture to implementation, scaling and optimization.

Here’s a preview of the work you’d do in this role at Merchbar

• Collaborate with engineers and others in all phases of development from concept to launch
• Ship customer-facing storefront features to millions of users
• Extend and improve the integrations that connect us to hundreds of external merchandise systems, keeping our inventory fresh and orders on track

• Experience/comfort working with 3rd Party APIs
• A continual desire to learn. Experience with our technology stack is not required (React, Python, Flask, Celery, Postgres, etc.), but the possibility of learning a new framework is exciting to you

• Fluency with data, including the ability to choose the right metrics and use basic probability and statistics to guide decision-making and prove ideas right or wrong
• Creative, flexible, and resourceful problem-solving skills. In an environment where time and resources are always limited, you realize the perfect solution is not always the right one.
