Job Description

Charlotte’s Webmaster : When it comes to web development, you’re a jack of all trades. Your code is cleaner than Marie Kondo’s kitchen. You can squish bugs like a crazed entomologist. And your system design solutions are more elegant than an Italian countess.

If that sounds like you AND you’ve got the chops to lead a small team of intermediate / associate developers; let's talk!

AlgaeCal is looking for a Full Stack Development Lead to bring their wizardry to our fun-loving Dev team.

Small print here ⇒ We’re an eCommerce company. So, we want you to have eCommerce experience. Lots of it. So if you don’t love digital marketing the way Coldplay loves Kiss Cams, you probably shouldn’t read any further.

Still here? Okay then…

This job will give you ALL the feels :

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

You’ll love it here :

  • You’ll be working with a great team. The developers at AlgaeCal have been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. They’ve written more code than Alan Turing. They’ve learned more programming languages than C3PO. They’ve immersed themselves in so many back end / front end tasks that they’ve had to be pulled out of the Matrix by their ankles on a Friday evening. And the best part? They're friendly, funny, and easy to work with.
  • You’ll use your powers for good. This isn’t one of those jobs that crush your soul with mindless tasks. On the contrary! You’ll be working on a wide range of applications that helps spread a powerful message – bone loss is beatable.
  • You won’t be micromanaged. We’ll give you a simple set of KPIs with crystal clear expectations.
  • We don’t have mattresses at the office (Seriously Elon, what’s up with that?!?). You’ll be relieved to know this isn’t one of those Silicon Valley gigs that expects you to work ridiculously long hours and frowns upon family time. We’re not like that! We enjoy our life, and we want you to enjoy yours too.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

  • A resume that wows us. We expect you’ll have proven web development skills involving front and back end. And we’ll also expect you to be skilled at working in the overlap between the two.
  • 5+ years of experience in a software development role. You’ll be able to provide us with examples of your work in a wide variety of coding niches. And your resume will demonstrate your proven ability to lead a team of 2-3 intermediate and associate developers.
  • An encyclopedic knowledge of React, Typescript, and Node.js.
  • The chops to work in the Shopify Ecosystem –– including Hydrogen and Shopify APIs . We’d also love it if you were familiar with GCP, especially Cloud Storage and BigQuery.
  • The knowhow to support and maintain Node.js middleware integration between Shopify & Salesforce API.There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it - you’ll need at least 2 years of experience as a kickass software developer to succeed in this role.
  • A yoda-like ability to develop and deploy features for our WordPress blog and website templates. We expect you’ll know RESTful and GraphQL APIs inside out and back to front.
  • A thick portfolio that demonstrates your mastery of all-things dev. Sorry, but if you have to Google ‘hexagonal architecture’; or you’ve never heard of ‘domain-driven design’, this isn’t the position for you.
  • Next level bug resolving skills. In fact, you’re so good at dealing with bugs you should probably be deployed on a mission to Klendathu.
  • If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, that sounds exactly like me!” We would love to hear from you. If it doesn’t, no worries! We’re only seeking candidates who will immediately light up this role.

    What Will You Earn?

    We believe in rewarding top talent. Let’s talk about salary once we’ve had the chance to get to know you better. Rest assured, we’re generous and offer above-market pay for the right person. If you bring the skills and experience, we’ll make sure the compensation reflects that.

    You’ll also enjoy the following benefits :

  • A generous healthcare package
  • Monthly team events and activities
  • Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use
  • Weekly team lunches
  • Casual dress code
  • Incredible dog friendly, Yaletown office one block from SkyTrain
  • And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.

    How to apply

    So, do you have what it takes to become the next member of team AlgaeCal?

    Job opportunities like this don’t come along often, and we’ve got a lot to offer our successful applicants. So, to make sure our future Full Stack Development Lead is the real-deal, will be a great fit, and will thrive at AlgaeCal, we ask a little more than your run-of-the-mill job application :

  • 2. Explain what you’re doing now for a job :

  • If you don’t have one, explain why.
  • If you have one, explain why you’re looking elsewhere.
  • 3. Upload your cover letter and resume :
