Why this opportunity exists
We are seeking an ambitious and nice senior full-stack engineer who shares our passion for building a great software company. This is a unique opportunity to have a major impact on our engineering team’s growth (we are about ten strong right now) by helping us continually raise the bar. You will be expected to collaborate with other engineers to solve complex technical problems and push us to deliver higher quality code at an ever-increasing rate. We firmly believe in the power of solid architecture, code design, and simplicity over brute force, which is why we do our best to hire 10x senior engineers. If you are seeking an environment where you get to do meaningful work with other great engineers, then we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
• Write and maintain front-end JavaScript code as part of a mobile-first web application, including UI components and state management logic, as well as back-end PHP and front-end network communication code (back end is approximately 10% of work). • Make decisions about code design, architecture, and refactoring to balance technical debt against delivering functionality. • Plan and lead testing for complex projects. • Review code and mentor other engineers. • Provide time estimates and participate in agile development. • Review specifications and work with PMs to implement the lean methodology.
Additional requirements (other than skills)
• Experience implementing and testing advanced JavaScript code on a team as part of a production web or mobile application • Practical experience with MV* architecture (such as Backbone, Vue, React + Redux/Mobx, etc.), unidirectional data flow, and minimal class/object interfaces • Spatial/geometric reasoning ability -- for rendering, animation, and image manipulation • Ability to quickly understand and work with unfamiliar complex code • Pro-active and clear communication is essential for this remote work position

About the organization(s)
• Collage.com is fortunate to remain open for business during the COVID-19 crisis and to see the demand for our product increase. We have been a fully remote workforce for seven years and have been recognized as a leader in remote working. Our employees have continued working with minimal disruption and our hiring efforts are proceeding as planned. By continuing to help our customers bring their special memories to life, we hope to bring smiles to their faces during these stressful times. • Collage.com’s mission is to make custom products easy for everyone. We strive to do this by providing superior software and excellent customer service. We sell an expanding variety of photo and home products, including photo blankets, photo books, canvases, pillows, and more. Our company has been featured on the TODAY Show, The View, and Good Morning America many times. We are a 100% employee-owned company that has rapidly grown to 60 employees and $50M annual revenue since 2013. • As a 100% remote company, we are set up to provide the best possible environment for engineering. The fewer time developers spend dealing with cumbersome processes, inefficient systems, and commuting, the more time they have to solve problems and make an impact. Collage.com’s co-founders/co-CEOs both come from a technical background and believe in staying at the forefront of best practices so that we can focus on work that matters. We pass almost all of The Joel Test (we only fix high-priority bugs before writing new code, but hey, we’re a start-up), use continuous deployment (code goes straight to production after each merge), and are in the process of adopting mobx-state-tree with React. Strong engineering is a key part of our business strategy -it lets us build best-in-class design tools faster than our larger competitors.
Team culture
• We believe in developing a great product through a deep understanding of our users with a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods, creative use of technology, exemplary design, and an open-mindedness to new ideas. • We believe that the whole product team - engineers, designers, and product managers - should be actively empowered to contribute to product development. • We believe in the lean approach of cheaply and quickly validating assumptions with evidence, and iterating quickly. • We are committed to improving the lives of our customers and providing the best possible work environment for our team members.
Additional details
• Location: Little Rock, AR - (Remote) • The Interview Process • The goal of our interview process is to identify people who will be a good fit for our company and are talented, ambitious engineers. Because you will be working remotely, all of our interviews are done over the phone in close succession to move through the process quickly. We look for candidates with good written and verbal communication skills. • We ask all candidates to demonstrate strong coding ability at the beginning of our interview process. The questions are in Javascript and focus on applying general programming concepts (like concurrency and good code structure) in realistic scenarios that should be familiar to experienced engineers. We do not test for knowledge of esoteric language features, APIs, or algorithms. We prefer engineers who are smart and able to learn over those who are familiar with our exact tech stack. • During the interview process, you will talk to other engineers, your future manager, a product manager, and both founders/CEOs of the company. We believe in transparency, and will give you the opportunity to speak with anyone else you’d like to meet before accepting an offer. You are making an important decision, and we want to make sure you are fully committed to joining our team.

independent recruiterWhat are signals?
Signals are a way of compiling a list of people you’ll consider working with. Others can signal you as well.
By signaling a person or organization you notify them that you’ll consider working with them. Thus:
- You will be notified of all or relevant jobs they post or when they’re open to new opportunities (your choice).
- When they search for talent, they’ll notice you signaled them.
- Your signals are only visible to people you have signaled. You can, however, share them with others to collaborate.
55% of jobs are filled via referrals 1 . With Signals, Torre makes it easy for you.
