**Your Mission**
As a Staff Engineer, Full Stack, you will be responsible for working with the
engineering team to develop the future of Prokeep as an application. This is a
key role on our team and we are seeking an individual who has a passion to
create real change in our customer facing product.
We are looking for a seasoned engineer who is excited to help us build
functionality that provides more structure to the way our users do business
with their customers. We are a small and highly collaborative team, so from
time to time you may also take a diversion into enhancing our API or providing
input to the overall architecture of our systems.
You don’t have to be an expert with all the tools in our stack, but an
interest in working on projects at all levels of the stack will be helpful as
we expand the breadth of our platform. You should have strong opinions about
tools and architecture but should also be able to explain those opinions
persuasively, not abrasively. You should also take pride in writing
performant, logically structured, and readable code, but be pragmatic enough
to realize that sometimes shipped code is better than perfect code.
