IN BOLD PRINT is a female-founded, venture-backed startup based in Chicago. We just completed another successful capital fundraise and are looking to grow our team as we launch into this next phase of rapid growth! With a round full of both institutional investors and strategic, corporate partners, we are set to move quickly and take the industry by storm.
About the Role:
IN BOLD PRINT is seeking a driven Full-Stack Software Engineer to own the next generation of our software platform’s development.
Our platform helps small to midsize companies in the consumer goods space measure their carbon emissions to meet regulatory requirements and drive revenue growth. Think of IN BOLD PRINT as the ‘TurboTax’ of carbon accounting. Our platform offers 1) a simple, guided interface that allows users to quickly and easily enter the right information about their business, 2) a powerful carbon emissions calculation engine that delivers accurate, share-able results, and 3) intelligent insights that give businesses the information they need to report and reduce their emissions.
In This Role, You Will:
Work directly with our CTO to architect, design, and develop the next version of our software platform, focusing first on our customer portal, from the ground up
Manage the entire software development lifecycle for new features, including service ownership, testing, CI/CD, troubleshooting, and support
Create user-friendly software that allows users to easily interpret and provide necessary information
Design front-end software with back-end data architecture in mind to facilitate auditable carbon emissions calculations and insights
Initially, spend 90% of your time on front-end development, gradually increasing back-end work and determining your preferred balance as the team and roadmap evolve
Apply best practices and modern technologies to develop a reusable code base that supports high modularity, extensibility, configurability, and maintainability
Build a robust technical foundation within a cloud PaaS architecture, including CI/CD practices like automated testing and version control, for team use as we grow
Provide technical direction and estimates for new features to guide the product roadmap
Develop well-designed test cases and adhere to testing guidelines and best practices
Identify and resolve technical debt and performance bottlenecks, improve code, and deploy enhancements to production
Document your codebase with requirements, decisions made, future improvements, and any other necessary information to ensure others can easily pick up where you left off, maintaining flexibility for the entire team
Continuously evaluate new technologies and innovations to enhance platform capabilities and functionality, integrating third-party services where necessary
Requirements
Your Technical Skills
Proven experience in developing full-stack software solutions with a strong track record of delivering high-quality code independently and at scale
Experienced as both an architect and hands-on developer for end-to-end solutions currently in production
Comfortable being the primary technical resource and owner of an end-to-end solution
Skilled at inferring technical requirements from product-focused requirements
Passionate about writing high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code
Skilled with JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and React
Proficient with languages like Python and SQL
Strong understanding of relational database systems such as Snowflake or PostgreSQL
Experience with CI/CD and Git
Comfortable working with third-party APIs
Familiar with cloud platforms such as GCP, Azure, or AWS
Your Soft Skills
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced startup environment
Desire to plan for future growth opportunities that allow us to innovate and differentiate, while also maintaining a focus on practical and immediate needs
Eagerness to mentor colleagues and promote knowledge-sharing by writing clear, accessible code and documentation that can be easily handed off, enabling personal growth and focus on multiple new company initiatives
Willingness to jump on any task that takes priority as it comes up, while clearly communicating what work is being traded off as a result
Ability to balance independent work with team collaboration
Openness to receiving and giving feedback for mutual growth
Passion for user-focused and innovative product development
Ability to manage time and dynamic priorities across multiple product initiatives
Ownership of mistakes and focus on solutions
Initiative to recommend and develop innovative approaches to tasks
Ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly and effectively
Understanding the perspectives of both users and the sales team to inform technical decisions
