Remote Full-Stack Developer at Spidergap Role Description

We’re recruiting a full-stack developer to join our product team at Spidergap/AirManual.

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, 100% remote, profitable and ambitious company that also appreciates that there’s more to work than revenue!

At Spidergap/AirManual, we’re:

Fueled by the passion and exceptional talent of a successful start-up
Hungry to amaze our customers and grow the business
Always looking to grow as individuals and a team
AND Focused on doing it all without unnecessary stress, and with a healthy work-life balance

If you’re a software developer who moves quickly and values code quality, wants to grow by working in a small and experienced team, and loves helping real customers to achieve their goals… then read on!

We’re looking for people who share our values:

Focus on impact:

We know our growth is dependent on increasing the value we deliver to customers.
We focus our energy on improvements that will make a real difference, with a desired outcome made clear up-front.
We expect everyone to understand why they are working on a particular activity or objective, being clear on how it will benefit the business and our customers.

Be proactive and dependable:

Everyone can solve problems and remove barriers to growth both personally and for the company.
We are quick to raise issues and ideas, and to recommend next steps.
We make it easier for others to feel they can depend on us by being proactive in our communication and action.

Pay attention to detail:

We believe the quality of everything we do is a competitive advantage.
We expect high attention-to-detail, whether it’s in how we write an email, review our analytics, or design the site.
We delight in getting the details right, even in internal documents. High attention to detail isn’t something you turn on and off it’s an attitude.

Always look to improve:

We survive and grow by constantly looking for opportunities to improve our solutions, our processes and ourselves.
We own our mistakes, using them as an opportunity to learn what changes we should make to processes and tools.
We expect our people to proactively look for opportunities to develop and improve our own performance.

Enjoy the journey:

We consider our health and families to be more important than work.
We ensure no-one feels that they are frequently required to work excessive hours.
We support each other in overcoming problems and achieving work and life goals.
We’re positive and enthusiastic helping everyone feel energized to take us to the next level.
We don’t pin our happiness on the attainment of a particular end goal, we delight in each step along the way.

A large part of the work will be developing and supporting new functionality using TypeScript/NodeJS/React.

We follow “clean” code principles, agile processes and continuous integration tools to efficiently take features from concept to roll-out, and to continuously optimize our processes.

Your attention to detail will help us to amaze our customers, and to grow our services and codebase in a robust and maintainable way.
