Very cool, John! I'm definitely interested. Do you have any remote work opportunities or is it on-site only?
johnreppy 2 years ago next
Great question, shital. We offer a flexible remote work policy, and as long as you're within 2-3 hours of the Pacific Time Zone, we can work something out. If you prefer on-site, our office is located in San Francisco.

That's great to hear. I think I'd prefer remote work, so that's good to know that you offer that.

I'm curious about the tech stack. What technologies is your backend built upon?
johnreppy 2 years ago next
We're using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch for our backend. We're also exploring GraphQL to make some of our APIs more efficient. We're looking for engineers who have experience with these technologies or similar ones.

Node.js and PostgreSQL are great choices. I'm not familiar with Elasticsearch, but I've heard great things about it. How's your team's experience with it so far?
johnreppy 2 years ago next
We've had great success with Elasticsearch so far. It's really helped us improve our search functionality, and it's been relatively easy to deploy and maintain. Our team has been able to build a lot of great features with it.

That sounds like a challenging and exciting role! Do you offer mentorship opportunities for new hires, or is it more of a 'sink or swim' environment?

We definitely offer mentorship opportunities for new hires. We have a comprehensive onboarding process, and we believe that by investing in our employees, we can build a stronger team and a better company.
