  • API Core: Canopy's API exposes a system of record to support organizations’ lending programs

This role is perfect for you if you are obsessed with great user experience and building cutting-edge products and component libraries. You consider yourself full-stack – you lean towards front-end work, but you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty in the API and backend when needed.

  • Formalize and enforce robust automated testing best practices for the front end and back end.

Requirements

  • Think about systems and services from a customer perspective and write high-quality code.
  • Prefer working collaboratively with a diverse group of people with different expertise.
  • Measure your success in terms of business impact, not lines of code; and do so in a way that embodies our core values.
  • Be able to work autonomously and take ownership of projects from start to finish.
  • Comfortable with context switching and have an understanding of what it means to work in a high-growth, early-stage startup.
  • Bonus Points:
  • Experience with server-side rendering frameworks like NextJS.
