Job Description:

The Global Modules team is looking for a thoughtful, adaptive individual with a growth mindset to join our team as a Full Stack Software Engineer with a focus on mobile app development with React Native.

The Global Modules team is responsible for managing and delivering “Come-To-You’ mobile device repairs in the US and beyond. In this role, you will work closely with a growing team to improve and extend our native app experience for our repair technicians as well as extend API functionality between our systems.

Our backend is built on Ruby on Rails, but we are confident anyone with experience in similar MVC frameworks and dynamic typed languages can be successful. (e.g Django, Hanami, Flask, etc). We do require someone with extensive React Native experience to help take our app to the next level.

Responsibilities include solving problems independently and with peers, researching and experimenting with new technology and UX designs, and building features that we measure for value to our users. Candidates must have strong communication skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently, sound judgment, and the ability to be productive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Note: This is not a ‘work-hard / play-hard’ environment. We are professional engineers that work 40 hours a week and go home at normal hours. You will not be asked to work extreme overtime or weekends, you will not be shamed for taking PTO, you are encouraged to prioritize time with the people you care about. Our goal for every team member is for them to THRIVE, both personally and professionally, during their time with us.

This is a remote position.
