Senior FullStack Developer

Krit

Krit is a growing digital agency that partners with Cyber Security startups to design and build innovative new products.

We typically work with 8-12 clients at any time on projects like: * Designing a web app to visualize the background noise of the internet and uncover the next wave of cyber attacks. * Creating software to help Fortune 500 companies visualize opportunities for attack within their networks and improve their security. * Building a dashboard used by security teams at city governments and utilities to detect abnormal web traffic.

Our clients’ products have been used by brands like Dropbox, Lyft, Microsoft, Nike, Yale University, and more.

Last year, we made $700,000 in revenue as a company and are on track to increase that this year. We’re a bootstrapped, transparent company and share our profits with our team. 🎉

Note: Because some of our clients work with government agencies, this role is only open to US citizens.

We’re looking for a generalist to lead projects

We're looking for an experienced developer to help take the lead on multiple projects. We typically use Django, Postgres and Heroku on the back-end and Vue or React Native with Tailwind on the front-end. But we care more about your talent and willingness to learn than experience with a particular framework.

While we don’t have any requirements for years of experience, this is a senior role so it won’t be a good fit for someone just getting started in the industry. We hope to open up more junior roles later in 2021.

Excellent communication skills

The best developers are great communicators and teammates, not just great programmers. In this position, you’ll take on the role of project lead. This means you’ll communicate directly with the client, project manager and other team members to drive the direction of the project.

Ability to balance trade-offs

At Krit, you’ll solve challenging technical problems, but you’ll also help clients to build entirely new businesses. We look for people who can balance trade offs and are excited by the impact on the business as much as the technology.

You care about testing and documentation

We want our clients to be successful long term, so we build everything to be able to hand it off at any point. This means good test coverage, continuous integration, clean documentation and lots of comments. It has the added bonus of making it easier for new team members to get up to speed quickly on projects!

What it's like to be a Kritter

You’ll be working with clients and the rest of our production team to architect and build new products, as well as to build out new features on existing products. You’ll regularly contribute to documentation and test coverage, and review PRs. You’ll also help mentor more junior team members, and provide guidance and assistance when they get stuck. This is an opportunity to influence the growth of our team, helping to define processes and make the rest of the team better.

Your responsibilities will include:

Architecting new greenfield projects
Building new features for and optimizing existing products
Contributing to documentation and test coverage
Reviewing PRs and offering constructive feedback
Helping other team members troubleshoot bugs
Contributing to both the frontend and backend depending on the project
Helping define and document new development processes

In this role, you won’t be responsible for:

Managing other developers - while you’ll be expected to help mentor and collaborate this is not a management role
Project management

You’ll be a human, not a number

While we’re not perfect, we are passionate about creating a great place to work. We’re striving to build a culture that’s respectful, supportive, and challenging. You won’t just be a number here, you’ll have a measurable impact on the direction of the business.

You’ll be a part of an inclusive, transparent company

One of our goals is to build a more diverse company. To us, this means diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, disability, and national origin. We strongly believe in building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe and invited. We are also a fully transparent company. We share our finances, salaries, pipeline and more.

You’ll be part of an engaged team

Every day at 4:00 pm EST we have a standing meeting where we check in and make sure we're staying on track. Each month we have a team meeting where we look at project milestones, our finances, marketing plans, and the pipeline. Once a month you'll also have a one-to-one meeting with Austin (our Creative Director) where you'll look at your goals, progress, and be encouraged to give us feedback.

All roles at Krit come with:

💸Competitive salary + profit sharing This will be a salaried position paid a starting salary of $92,000 per year with 5% annual raises. All full time team members also participate in our yearly profit sharing program and receive yearly raises.

Our salaries and raise process are completely transparent, you can see our Compensation Model here. For this position we are looking for a Level 4 Developer.

👩‍⚕️Benefits We offer competitive healthcare plans, as well as dental and vision insurance and 401k matching up to 4% (starting in 2021).

🏖Vacation days All Krit employees get 15 vacation days (effective immediately) as well as 10 company holidays. Sick days don’t count as vacation, if you’re sick don’t make it worse with work.

🌎Remote While we have a home base in Charleston, SC most of our team is remote. We have team members in Charlottesville, Chattanooga, Durham, Austin, and Washington DC.

Note: Because some of our clients work with government agencies, this role is only open to US citizens.

🕰Flexible hours Everyone is different. As long as you can be available for team meetings and are able to communicate effectively with the team, work when you work best. We do expect you to average about 6 billable hours per day.

💻Equipment budget Every new employee gets $2,500 to spend on equipment, so you can pick whatever works best for you.

☕️Co-working/Coffee budget (Remote) We want you to have the space you need to do your best work. We’ll give you up to $200 per month to put towards a co-working space. Or if you prefer going to a coffee shop a few times a week then we’ll cover the coffee tab.

👼Paid family leave We offer a family leave plan of up to 4 weeks paid vacation and 4 weeks unpaid regardless of your gender.

📚Professional development time Two Fridays every month we spend the second half of the day on professional development time. This can include taking courses, building sample projects to try out new tools, contributing to the company blog or playbook, and more.

We’ll also cover the cost of books, courses and provide time for conferences on a case by case basis.
