Front End Software Engineer Service Alley
THIS JOB HAS EXPIRED
We are on track for major new product releases this spring and summer and are looking for someone who is eager to learn the joys and pains of growing a startup. This is an amazing opportunity for the right candidate to wear multiple hats on our small and nimble development team, and make a real contribution towards shaping the future of the company. If coding were a war, you'll be in the trenches, on the front lines, and any other random analogy you can think of. We work hard, have a great time joking around while we do it, and want you to join us in building a company that is changing the way people think about finding home service providers.
