Staff Software Developer

This is a hands-on fullstack, product engineering role reporting to our Director of Engineering, Product, and Design. You’ll lead mainly through the code you write, review, and ship, and most of your week should be devoted to the team’s queue. We are looking for a UX- and business-minded engineer to work directly in Rails views to simplify complex workflows, create intuitive user experiences, and help transform the crowdfunding landscape.

You’ll help shape frontend patterns across the product, and turn our powerful, interconnected systems into intuitive experiences that are fast, clear, and approachable.

This role is high-context, high-collaboration, and high-impact. You’ll evolve patterns, raise the quality bar through mentorship and code review, and influence how the entire Engineering, Product & Design team thinks about user experience. Everyone at BackerKit is customer-facing, and we expect everyone to get to know the creators and backers that we serve (plus, they are awesome, just like you!).

How we build

We iterate quickly, ship small experiments, and learn from customers. We use Claude Code, practice TDD, work in one-week iterations, and ship multiple times a day.
