About the Job

This role is on the Client Experience team. Our team focuses on building and improving the experience of our Client customers, who come to TaskRabbit to get the support and help they need to check items off their to-do list, allowing them to book tasks and communicate with Taskers. Our objective is to make it easy for Clients to find the right Taskers for their projects via our core mobile app and our web platform.

As a Software Engineer on the Client Experience team, you’ll get to build features and improvements for our web platform. You’ll be an important member of the team, proposing creative solutions, de-tangling the complex into the simple, and collaborating closely with teammates across product and engineering. Our engineering team uses React.js on the web frontend, React Native for our mobile applications, and Ruby on Rails in the backend. We’re looking for people who are comfortable and interested in working with a little bit of everything.

Join us in creating a better everyday life for everyday people.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborating with design and product management to conceptualize new product features from the ground up
• Contribute to our technical roadmap of ongoing improvements, enhancements and updates
• Participate in code reviews, listening to feedback and commenting on other approaches
• Invest in the documentation of best practices and coding patterns
• Help solve debugging, testability, and deployability problems
• Collaborate across teams to promote consistency
• Improve stability and consistency of existing and new backend & frontend code

Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of experience, comfortable working independently
• 2+ years of professional experience developing with Ruby on Rails
• 2+ years of professional experience developing with React.js or similar JS framework (React Native is a plus)
• Experience building API-driven applications or endpoints
• Understand how to organize code across the stack: what belongs in the frontend, what in the back
• Familiar with automated testing and JS build and packaging systems like Webpack and Jest

You might be a fit if you have: 

• Experience or interest in developing with React Native
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Enjoy helping organize and scope high priority projects and plans to keep us moving forward
• Have a great attention to detail and quality
• Any GraphQL or Federated API layer experience
