LawnStarter is the nation’s leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and related services, allowing hundreds of thousands of customers nationwide to book a service with the tap of a button. But lawn care is only the beginning - our vision is to become the one-stop shop for all home services.

Our company is flourishing at an incredible pace, profitable and achieving remarkable success. And we're not stopping there! We're actively seeking talented and hard-working individuals like you to join our team and help us achieve our ultimate vision.

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Web Developer contractor, with the potential to move into a Lead Engineer contractor role within 6 months or so.

What you'll do:

• As a Senior Full Stack Web Developer at LawnStarter,  you are passionate about building quality software products. 
• You’ll build reliable, observable, resilient, and scalable code that powers our suite of mobile and web applications supporting our providers, customers, and internal stakeholders.
• You’ll be in a hands-on role building rich experiences, helping make LawnStarter design system come to life in code, use your knowledge to bridge the gaps between designers and engineer and making sure the code you write scales responsively from mobile devices to desktop browsers and users love to use. 
• You’ll work closely with our Product Management, Product Design across all engineering specialties to help decide which features to build and how to build them efficiently. We want to hear your ideas, not just tell you what to do.
• You’ll release new software every day. We practice continuous integration and continuous delivery so you’ll get your first change into production in the first few days. From there you’ll be making changes that will save millions of hours to people so they can do what really matters in life. 
• You’ll take pride in your work and will be excited to inspire and mentor junior developers as they ramp up their knowledge and experience alongside you

We’re looking for you if you’re an experienced full-stack web software engineer. More specifically, we’re looking for:

• Someone with a fair amount of experience working on client-side web software with modern libraries and frameworks (React/React Native). You should understand how HTTP works, why Test Driven Development (TDD) is critical while writing code, what an XSS attack is, and how an MVC web framework works. That will probably mean you’ve been doing this stuff for 5+ years.
• Someone familiarized with CSS architecture including pre/post processors and CSS-in-JS, and best practices around responsive layout, accessibility, and animation. You should have experience working with design systems and designers or within a product design organization.
• Someone who understands fundamental computer science concepts. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have a CS degree. But you should be able to describe how a pointer works, what Big O notation is and how to use it, when to use composition and when to use inheritance and the differences between an array and a linked list and a set.
• Someone with a firm grasp of SQL and databases in general (including non-relational databases and modern cloud database solutions). You should know how to do CRUD operations, what indexes are and why they matter, and the difference between a left join and an inner join for instance.

Our tech stack and software development process:

Most of our software is written in PHP (Laravel) and TypeScript (React/React Native). You’ll work with these languages and possibly more as we continue to grow. We’re not worried about checking off boxes for specific languages. As long as you have a background with any mainstream object-oriented language and have great engineering fundamentals, we believe you can get up to speed with any similar language quickly.

We believe you should be empowered to own the entire life of your software, from the initial design through release and observing. And we believe you should be responsible for that software’s continued health. After all, that’s what really matters — the software needs to work correctly so users can get what they want quickly and efficiently.

Great Culture:One of the top places to work in Austin in 2018, 2019, and 2020, and in the US in 2021, we are all about the team. That’s why we have spent a massive amount of time finding humble, passionate, and smart folks that you will get to work with every day.

Fully remote position: Work remotely from anywhere you want.

Compensation: $60-$80k USD annually
