Your mission
Why we’re hiring for this role
Since launching our academy and installation offering this spring, response has been strong. We heavily invested in software that brings paper-heavy processes on a new level and onboarded our very own tradespeople and operations on our digital platform. This has been energizing for our team, but we want to build custom tailored software to run the business (operations, backoffice, installation) more and enable us to expand regionally and venture into new verticals within clean home energy solutions. To that end, we need a strong full stack engineer who'll help us meet this demand while pushing the bar for quality and user experience even higher.
Our developing tech stack & practices- Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Next.js on top of Node.js runtime, tRPC, DrizzleORM, Postgres
- API Development and Testing with Postman
- We like static type checking in TypeScript
- We use GitHub for code reviews and CI
- Hosting is done on the serverless platform of Google Cloud
- Sentry is our tool of choice for monitoring and alerting
- Mobile App (not a focus of this role): Flutter, Hive
- A clean backlog and kanban work much better for us than sprints and the calendar-cluttering ceremonies that come with them
What you'll do
You'll own- Building our end-to-end platform into a product an installation business can’t live without
- You’ll work with a modern stack (Next.js 14/15) to fully own shipping useful, exciting features out to users on a weekly basis.
- You will work on a mix of known features / fixes, prototypes to validate ideas, and exploratory projects in between.
- Our team is small, so we expect you to appreciate the user needs underlying everything you work on. You should be comfortable making decisions and trade-offs that help us fulfill users’ needs best.
- Keeping montamo’s bar for quality high
- You’ll balance shipping features in the short term with building extensible and maintainable systems.
- You will be responsible for your features in production: they need to be scalable, resilient, and easy to operate.
- You’ll be the biggest advocate for keeping montamo’s bar high for smooth user workflows and making sure the platform looks great and is a delight to use. We want somebody on our team who’ll remain obsessed with a high quality user experience, and can hold us accountable to balancing that with shipping rapidly and pursuing new features.
- You’ll contribute and drive to discussions around UX, system design, and architecture.
