Full-Stack Rails and React Developer

Published on October 07, 2023

Our mission is to be a true partner to entrepreneurs. We believe that by establishing a trusted resource for development in NYC that combines CTO-level technical and product strategy with excellent execution, we can help unlock a new wave of East Coast innovation that rivals Silicon Valley. We’ve assembled an incredible team of product-focused tech talent with decades of combined experience in the tech and startup scenes, and we’re relentless in our pursuit of excellent products, happy users, and a reputation as a trusted partner.

TL;DR - Flexible freelance and full-time work on amazing products.

This is not your average company job posting.

We are Tanooki Labs, a product and development studio based in the United States that works with entrepreneurs on early stage products.

We provide product-minded developers with fun projects to work on, as well as the flexibility and freedom to continue working on their own goals (be it recording an album, crafting your next app, or raising the newest member of your family).

We choose our clients and projects carefully, and every product we build requires us to tackle new and exciting challenges. We also reject the idea that software development has to feel like a grind. We work 35 hours per week, support flexible schedules, are family friendly, and work with both local and remote developers.

Requirements

We are looking for pragmatic developers who build with:

  • empathy for users,
  • a deep understanding of the software we build and our clients' businesses,
  • an eye toward writing well architected code.

You should have:

  • a strong background in Ruby on Rails
  • experience working in Javascript, especially React
  • experience developing applications from the ground up
  • experience with behavior-driven development and unit testing
  • a product-minded focus when creating applications
  • good communication skills in English and a location in North America


We respect your time, so here’s what you can expect from the interview process:

  • 15 minute introductory conversation with a Tanooki Labs co-founder.
  • we pay you $250 for a 4 - 5 hour sample coding project.
  • 1 hour walk through of your code with a Tanooki lead developer.
  • you get an offer!
