SHARD

Shard is a scrappy, boutique web development agency based out of Oregon – we build focused, market-ready prototypes for venture-backed startups and Fortune 100 companies (JPMorgan Chase, MetLife, KPMG) alike. Last year was our best year to date and 2021 has been nothing short of fantastic. We're looking for an opinionated senior engineer who doesn't like being trapped in a single codebase and enjoys being able to context-switch between projects. You'd be a great fit for our team if you enjoy taking ownership of projects new and old, figuring out what it would take to build "good, bad, and ugly", then picking a favorite and making it happen. Tech preference isn't important for this role, but the majority of our projects use Python/NodeJS/.NET Core on the backend, React on the frontend, and Docker + AWS + Terraform for infrastructure. We're on the hunt for a Python specialist, ideally with lots of experience building applications in Django and DRF. This is a fun role ideal for people who enjoy rotating between projects every now and again – we have exposure to a lot of different industries, ranging from health care (and CRISPR!), to finance and HR, to social media and advertising platforms. You'll work directly with leadership to design well-thought out database models, high performance REST APIs, and lots of integrations with third-party services like Stripe and Mux. We're also on the hunt for a take-charge UX/UI designer who can help us on both internal and client-facing projects alike. We're a pretty small team, so an ideal candidate would be comfortable stepping in to scope out product features, make impactful recommendations on strategy and timing, and manage their own workload.
