About Flexhire
Flexhire helps our customers both find amazing talent from all over the world, and employ, manage and pay them either as contractors or permanent employees on their behalf.

Our ATS, HRIS and Expert Member Network is the modern 3-in-1 HR platform that helps our clients scale their businesses faster, leveraging cutting edge AI and science-based hiring best-practices.

Our clients include Fortune companies and venture backed startups.

About the Role
We are looking for a talented engineer to join the Flexhire engineering team. We want engineers who think like mini CEOs of each of our products, focusing on how to grow them and make them successful.

How We Work
At Flexhire, our engineering team moves fast. We run on React and NextJS on the frontend and Rails / Postgres on the backend deployed on AWS. Our fullstack engineers take full ownership of individual features from idea through release and feedback. We work using the Kanban approach for project management, getting early feedback from end users. In our fully remote team, everyone makes a difference.

Key Responsibilities
At Flexhire, you will:

1. Help build the features to improve our ATS, HRIS and Member Network Experiences.
2. Take ownership of not just the code but product features themselves.
3. Implement features and fix bugs by working on our frontend and/or backend codebases.
4. Think through, research, and help design and build features to help grow the business.
5. Maintain the stability of the product by managing the automated test suites.
6. Participate in the day to day decision-making process regarding our evolving product.
7. Work on a regular schedule, with the flexibility to customize it as long as you can match a 6-hour window of 'core hours.'
8. Work from anywhere in the world with your own choice of software tools for development.

Ideal Experience
Our ideal candidate has:

1. A passion for coding and building products.
2. Fluency in written and verbal English and excellent overall communication skills.
3. Experience working in a fast-paced early startup environment.
4. An entrepreneurial mindset; if you just want to code without thinking about product success, this is not for you!
5. Experience with remote work, asynchronous text communication, video meetings, and organizing work with colleagues from different time zones.
6. Experience with React frontends and Ruby on Rails backends, ideally using the Next.js framework.
7. Experience with cloud providers like AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and maintaining automated tests.
8. Experience working with GraphQL APIs, ideally from a Ruby on Rails backend.
9. Experience in modern recruitment and/or global payroll software is highly desired.
