Contract Simply (YC S17) is hiring a Senior Full-stack Developer in Austin

Contract Simply ( https://contractsimply.com ) is looking for a senior full-stack developer in Austin or willing to relocate. ABOUT US We help banks expedite their construction loan payments. Unlike a typical loan which is one check one time, a construction loan has several monthly disbursements over the course of the project. This process is currently managed with excel, PDFs, and emails. We have a web-based platform that makes this process much easier, faster, and less error-prone. It’s more exciting than it sounds, I promise. We value mastery, transparency, and, most of all, getting things done. We offer competitive pay and benefits, plus equity. Despite being a startup, we do value work/life balance. We’re still small (4 full-time developers, 6 full-time employees total), so there’s a lot of opportunity to set the tone and direction of the company. We’re also YC-backed (S17). TECH WE USE Elixir, Python, React/Redux, AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres, Redis, circleci REQUIREMENTS - 4
