About This Role
Very is a remote-first company, meaning we don’t have a physical office, and you can work from anywhere in Latin America. Your home, a co-working space, on the road, you name it. If you feel like moving, you don’t have to change jobs.
As a Senior Full-stack Engineer, you will be working across multiple technologies. This requires an interest in API engineering, DevOps, SQL and NoSQL databases, cloud infrastructure and everything in between...
Engineers who apply for this job should be excellent practitioners of either Elixir, along with an interest and willingness to become proficient with other languages such as Python, JavaScript, and/or Ruby.
During your tenure at Very, you could be exposed to some, if not all of the following technologies:
- Ruby on Rails
- JavaScript, Typescript, React
- Mobile: iOS, Android, React Native
What You’ll Be Working On
Very has been a remote company since before it became normal — 2011, to be exact. We’ve built a collaborative, tight-knit team that thrives, whether we’re hanging out in person at our annual retreat or coordinating work across time zones. The results show that we’re doing something right. In 2020, we were named one of Inc’s Best Workplaces,
Parity.org's Best Companies for Women to Advance List, and Fatherly’s Best Places to Work for Dads.
Clients like Vizio, Clear, iHeart Radio, Complex Media, Shopkeep, and more come to us for answers to their thorniest questions. We bring them a world-class product team that delivers end-to-end IoT solutions.
Currently, we have clients with needs matching this specific job description, and you will be hired to work with one of these clients. You’ll spend the majority of your time working on your client project, and the remainder of your time can be spent improving Very. These internal contributions often include working on open source projects, building internal products, improving your craft, educating others, and more.
Upon completion of your first project, you will move on to other client projects for Very.
At Very, there is a never-ending supply of variety to the types of projects we work on. In the last year, we’ve built solutions that touch e-commerce, trust management (finance), beer distribution, point of sale systems, ICO’s, identifying fake news, and much more.
