Description

LeftLane's mission to become the operating system for the 70k independent used car dealerships across the nation. We help independent dealerships manage the lifecycle of their inventory, secure financing for their customers, keep accounting records, comply with regulations, and learn more about their business. This is an opportunity to get significant equity, significant responsibility, and ultimately, build a product that enables small businesses to serve ~40 million used car buyers every year. Here is some background context on the company. Responsibilities As an early engineer, you'll be wearing many hats across the stack and will interact directly with customers to gather feedback. You'll have a loud voice in driving early decisions. You'll need to: drive and evangelize best practices across at least one area of the stack own greenfield feature development end-to-end own entire product verticals (inventory management, accounting, CRM, collections, etc.) and/or infrastructure horizontals (auth, CI, deployment, background jobs, etc.) weigh the tradeoffs of decisions for technology and architecture adoption This will be a good fit if you: think an early-stage startup would be fun are excited about the upside potential are ambitious i.e. want to run your own team or be a founder yourself in the future take ownership of problems i.e. will do what needs to be done you like being rewarded directly for your high output This will not be a good fit if: you want to specialize strongly in one area or technology you cannot iterate quickly cannot take ownership and initiative The Stack We strongly believe that tight feedback loops and fast iteration drive great product. That is why we are obsessed with developer experience, pushing every commit to production, observability/alerting, feature flags/experiments, and test driven development. Stack RedwoodJS (node) GraphQL React + Apollo Postgres Render Logistics Full time only Onsite/Remote: We prefer a flexible onsite model. Given how early we are we believe it will let us move the fastest and collaborate the smoothest. Hours: At the end of the day what matters is the work and so you'll control your hours (if you need to WFH for X reason or swap a Monday for a Saturday or XYZ you can do that as long as expectations for work are being met), but we expect some minimum overlap with the team to make collaboration flow, 4/5 days a week 10 - 4 in the office would be a reasonable base Benefits competitive salary significant equity 100% paid high tier health / vision / dental plans (ultra premium 90% covered) 11 paid company holidays
