Full Stack Engineer

We’re not incredibly hung up on “Years experience” or “Framework expertise” as these are rarely good predictors of good future performance.

What we do care about is a great sense of design, good problem solving abilities, the capacity to learn quickly and an overriding desire to drive success for customers through working with.

What you’ll do

• Our stack is comprised of many languages, technologies and services, including: Python / Django, React, React Native, GraphQL, Docker and AWS. You will work across all of these to deliver critical customer features and major technological improvements. This will include contributing to our backend, web-app, native app and infrastructure / configuration management code-bases.
• You will develop abstractions and best practices across the entire stack to make us a more efficient engineering team and to help us build better products for our customers.
• You will work closely with team members from different departments to define and execute on projects which will have a significant impact on the direction and future of our company.

Who you are

• Someone who loves finding elegant solutions to challenging problems. Ideally you will have used JavaScript or Python to do this, but we believe the best full-stack engineers will be able to learn these languages relatively quickly.
• Someone who has built useful, thoughtful software in the past, either during their education, at home or at work.
• Someone who can turn ideas into production-ready code with autonomy and with a strong will to always do the best by users and the rest of the team.
• Someone who cares about writing quality code and building a great product. We expect you to develop opinions about how we can do that better and to productively share those ideas with the rest of the team.

What is Myagi?

Myagi is a VC-backed, high-growth tech startup that’s changing the way brands and retailers share knowledge.

Our business-to-business network connects everyone in the retail supply chain and our SaaS platform combines online training and communication to equip sales associates with targeted brand and product knowledge.

For brands, we enable them to connect and distribute content directly to the retailers that stock their products around the world. There’s a direct communication channel to frontline staff and they get real time feedback through detailed analytics.

For retailers, we integrate a combination of external supplier content with internal “tribal knowledge” to ensure that frontline staff have access to the right information, at exactly the right time, to help drive sales and enhance the customer experience.

We have a fast-growing network global customers, including some of the world’s leading retailers and brands such as Nike, Adidas, Intersport, Santa Cruz, Skull Candy, Garmin… to name a few.

Overall, we’re focused on maintaining a culture that people feel proud to be a part of.

What it’s like to be an engineer at Myagi

Engineers at Myagi are typically generalists with one or more key specialties. Working at a fast growing company means our engineers get to work across the entire stack and to be responsible for critical projects – thus, we value people who are excited by the idea of having a large impact on the future of our business and user-base every single day. We also value people who enjoy working autonomously, cross-functionally and who are always looking to develop skills in areas which interest them.

Because of this, our team consists of people who are excited about finding elegant solutions to difficult technical challenges in-order to deliver exceptional user experiences. Recent and upcoming challenges include: Building a powerful frontline messaging app to rival the likes of Slack and Whats-app, shifting to fully immutable infrastructure deployment using Docker and AWS, developing an automated network growth engine to connect companies in our network and building an innovative on-device video download system to conserve bandwidth for enterprise customers.

Finally, a large part of our focus as an engineering team is on self-development and mentor-ship. Partly, we encourage this through our weekly rotating lightning talks and reading groups. But more fundamentally, we make it a core responsibility of every team member to do what they can to help the rest of the team improve. Aptitude for this responsibility is something we are especially focused on when hiring.
