Description:

Zirtual is seeking a Full Stack Engineer to maintain and improve existing systems.
The role involves the full lifecycle of development and ongoing maintenance for both internal and client-facing applications.
The engineer will work closely with Operations and Marketing teams to ensure tools are effective, efficient, and user-friendly.
The focus is on thoughtful maintenance and steady improvement rather than rapid scaling or constant feature development.
The codebase is written in TypeScript, with a backend built using Node, PostgreSQL, Apollo, and Redis.
Web applications are developed with React and Apollo, and a native iOS app is created in Swift using UIKit and SwiftUI.
The backend integrates with multiple third-party APIs, including OpenAI, Twilio, Airtable, Google Calendar, Slack, SendGrid, and Intercom.

Requirements:

Candidates must have a degree in computer science, telecommunications, or electrical engineering, or relevant experience.
A minimum of 5 years of programming experience is required, including 3 years using React, GraphQL, Node, and TypeScript.
A deep understanding of relational databases is necessary.
Familiarity with or eagerness to learn about Apollo, React Hooks, Redis, Chrome Extensions, and various productivity APIs (e.g., Slack, Zapier) is expected.
Candidates should be confident in their skills but recognize when to leverage third-party solutions.
A self-starter attitude and comfort with ambiguity are essential, along with excitement for ownership opportunities in a small core team.
Initiative in implementing tooling and process improvements to enhance team efficiency is important.
Candidates should be open to discarding code as needs change and willing to contribute to unfamiliar parts of the stack for team impact.
Strong communication skills with a diverse team and the ability to explain complex ideas to non-engineering teams are required.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the US.

The position offers a supportive team environment focused on building great products and simplifying delegation.
It is a fully remote role with a flexible schedule, including PTO and paid parental leave.
Employees receive 401(k) and health benefits.
The salary range is $90,000 - $180,000 per year, based on experience.
Regular business hours are expected in ET, CT, or PT time zones.
