Passionate Rust Software Developer

About the role

Applications in English only -- the position is 100% remote.

Do you love to code? Have you ever written code for personal projects? Have you contributed to or created any open source projects? If so, let's talk!

What we are looking for: - Demonstrated passion for coding. For you, coding is not just a job. It's something you love to do.

- Demonstrated ability to work independently and remotely

- Excellent written English skills. Can you name variables, modules, functions, etc., well? Written communication is more important than verbal communication.

Experience in one or more of the following, or a demonstrated software development excellence and deep desire to learn: - Rust

- Postgresql, especially in terms of how to optimize it.

Nice to have

- React front-ends in either JavaScript or TypesScript. Do you know the ins and outs of different CSS options?

- ReScript (formerly known as ReasonML).

Optional and valued - Experience working in a consulting firm and interacting with clients.

- You've shipped live products where you led the development of notable features.

- Comfortable with startup environments where changes can happen quickly.

- Experience using profiling tools to analyze and improve performance issues.

- You possess strong computer science fundamentals.

- You can take mock designs from Figma (or some other design tool) and turn them into code.

Team and culture - We value developer happiness! Justin, the CEO, is a lifelong passionate programmer. We believe that happy developers are the most productive. We'd love to unleash all of your creativity. We have a genuinely flexible schedule, and we listen to feedback. Plus, we have realistic deadlines that value quality design and code. We're using ReScript (ReasonML) and Rust for some newer work as some of our developers love those two languages.

- We're excited, really excited, about our internal product HiChee.com! With the world opening up again to travel, our ability to analyze the data across the Internet has a huge potential to shape the future of how travelers book vacations. No other similar travel platform exists.

- We value open source. Most ShakaCode's clients came via open-source, especially React on Rails. These clients are often CTOs and founders that value quality code more than rushing.

- We’re transparent internally. We all know what everyone’s working on, how’s the company doing, how many hours each person spent on each task, etc.

- We've created a solid consulting track record over the past three years. Check out ShakaCode's Recent Work page and our reviews. All of these listed projects are referencable, and most have continuing work for us.

- We want to create products that genuinely help people. Our React on Rails and other open-source projects are widely used for more efficient software development. Our HiChee.com product analyzes the web for information to enable travelers to find the best deals.
