This is a rare opportunity to gain broad experience at a tight-knit startup that's passionate about social change.

Located in NYC, we are looking for a full-time Full Stack Developer to join our rapidly growing team and company. We strongly value diverse perspectives and care deeply about building a positive work environment; each of our small teams operates with a high level of flexibility, autonomy and ownership for our path forward.

You're right for the position if you're both collaborative and independent, if you’re ready to advance your own career trajectory, if you’re eager to apply your technical skills to an important mission: building the right solutions to support our community of women.

Our interview process doesn’t involve white boarding, riddles, or games - we want to understand how you’ll fit into our team and contribute to our mission, not how well you recall syntax under pressure.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Angular & Heroku; prior experience with Rails in a production environment is required for this role, experience with the others is a plus.

You'll have direct access to our leadership team with open lines of communication to discuss the role you play in our growing business.

Who will be successful in this role?
You're collaborative: able to work independently or in a team.
You're quick on your feet - you know when to be scrappy and when to invest and stop cutting corners.
You can effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical team members.
You're flexible, empathetic, and patient with both team members and users.
