Rewst - Senior Full Stack Developer

About Rewst

Rewst is a venture backed B2B SaaS startup founded January, 2021. We've raised over $50M to date and have hundreds of paying customers.

We're a low code workflow automation platform targeted at the Managed Service Provider (MSP) market. To get an idea of how Rewst works and what it does, take a look at our youtube channel. There you can find training videos from our education team, demos of the product by our ROC (Robotic Operations Center) team, and even customers showcasing how they use Rewst in their business.

We don't have dedicated managers and we don't put people in charge who don't know how to write code themselves. We're a relatively flat organization that prioritizes talented engineers who want to take charge. We see management, rules, and performance metrics as roadblocks to creativity and innovative thinking. We expect software engineers to adhere to a single rule: create value for the organization. We tell you the problem, provide some constraints or example scenarios, and expect you to work with product management and stakeholders to craft the right solution and maximize the value to the business.

About YouAs a full stack engineer focused on building new features, you're comfortable creating something out of nothing. You can talk to product stakeholders, record requirements, and ask the right questions where things are ambiguous. You want to create and innovate, and your comfortable coming up with your best interpretation of a feature or functionality. You understand that the business is relying on you to create "the next big thing", and sometimes the business needs that fast. That doesn't mean being sloppy or creating a ton of technical debt but, it does mean prioritizing "working" over "perfection", and you have the experience and foresight to know where cutting corners is acceptable. You like being the star of the show and having your name tied to feature releases and you're okay with having a deadline to deliver. You want your work to be showcased to hundreds of people on release, and you're able to make that initial release successful for 90% of customers without needing to go through a complete refactor or rebuild in the future. You're comfortable leading initiatives big and small. It might be a new feature added onto something existing that you're able to do yourself, or it might be something bigger that requires multiple engineers and you're comfortable leading and collaborating with others on the technical side to reach the end goal.

You're a results driven developer who loves greenfields or semi-greenfields and you're not afraid to have an opinion and craft a feature the way you think is best for users when not provided explicit, detailed, direction. Bugs and imperfection don't bother you as much as others. You love getting the new idea into users hands as fast as possible.
