Compensation

Full Description

Goody is hiring a Full-Stack Staff Software Engineer who ships at a startup pace and has an excellent eye for detail. Fully remote (North and South America preferred) Salary range: $200K – $250K + equity — Goody is a gifting platform that makes personal and professional gifting easy — you don’t need an address, and you don’t need to worry if your recipient prefers something else, since they can swap their gift. We also offer an API to plug in gifting and commerce to any app. We help people celebrate milestones, recognize achievements, close deals, and make clients feel valued through thoughtful gifts that make people’s days. Our product is used by Google, Stripe, Meta, Anthropic, Notion, NBCUniversal, DHL, and others. Despite being something everyone does, gifting is one of the areas of commerce yet to be disrupted, and our mission is to capture that market opportunity and spread joy and positivity. Our tech stack is Ruby, Rails, React, Tailwind, and Postgres. You aren’t required to know Ruby; we are open to any backend experience. Most important qualities Startup mindset. You move extremely fast — you can ship a sizable feature in a week or less. As a startup, our advantage is agility and speed. You should move at a startup pace, and be known to be faster than your peers in shipping code. You have a critical eye for detail and user experience. Good design is no longer a luxury; it’s now table stakes. Every well‑designed product we use had good designers, yes, but ultimately they also had excellent developers that had an instinct for what looks good and works well. One of our product’s advantages is superior UI/UX, and your ability to know what ‘good’ looks like is instrumental, and you should be motivated by building delightful products. You thrive when given autonomy and ownership, and can design a technical architecture for a feature from scratch. As a full-stack engineer, you’ll have full ownership and responsibility of your engineering projects, and you’ll be expected to create technical designs with the right trade-offs and find solutions to roadblocks. Requirements 5+ years of experience in full-stack web applications. Backend in any language (such as Ruby, Node.js, Python, or similar), frontend in React preferably, and TypeScript Deep experience building complex SPA web applications and API backends Writing code that balances speed, reliability, and quality Ideally, you have previous startup experience Location This is a fully remote opportunity.
