NOW HIRING: Product Manager

Company: Pathable, Inc.
Website: https://pathable.com
Headquarters: Seattle, Washington, United States

Pathable, Inc. is hiring an experienced Product Manager to join our nomadic team of software engineers, designers, and testers.

Live and work from anywhere, while learning new things, working on a product thousands of people love to use every day.

Our company is successful, self-funded, profitable, thirty people strong, and growing. We've developed a fantastic culture that embraces adventure in business, engineering and lifestyle. Please join us!

About Us

Pathable (pathable.com) is the leading provider of community software for conferences, tradeshows, events, and associations. Our software serves in-person, virtual and hybrid events of all shapes and sizes -- we're improving the entire experience of attending and throwing complex events and conferences. Though we develop products delivered over the Internet, as a nearly 10 year-old profitable company, we're not quite a startup anymore.

We're fortunate to have room to innovate and experiment as we develop new products and services. Managed and majority owned by the original founders, we've got the freedom to chart our own course -- our only influence is what's best for our customers.

From the beginning, our culture has supported and embraced remote workers. We don't have an office and the Pathable family lives or is traveling in over 10 countries. Our members enjoy more time with their children, living in remote and unusual places, or exploring the world; all while growing professionally and building things about which they are proud.

We're building features in our recently finished new version, it was built from the ground up, using the latest tools available at the time, integrated everything we've learned from nearly 15 years of product development to the same market.

About You

• You strongly agree with Todd Jackson (and us!) that the best product managers do three things: Articulate what a winning product looks like, rally the team to build it, iterate on it until they get it right.
• You've got at least four years of full product lifecycle management experience, ideally in a small fast-moving technology startup.
• You've got a track record of successfully leading a team of developers, designers, and testers.
• You're calm and thoughtful especially when things are going poorly. You don't shy away from interaction with angry customers.
• You love the process and rewards of discovering what product features and capabilities customers will love but might not even know they need.
• You are data driven.
• You know how to identify complex requirements, often preferring to speak directly to customers to understand their needs. You've got great written and interpersonal communication skills.
• You understand enough about software and software systems to be effective working with developers in breaking down complex tasks and estimating effort. You may even have written some software yourself.
• You love to learn new technologies and embrace change. You are open to whatever technology, processes or techniques will improve your ability to deliver high quality software as quickly as possible.
• You thrive in a remote working environment where you may never meet your co-workers in person; you go wherever you want. You want complete control over your development and working environment. You understand how essential clear, consistent communication is when working remotely -- ambiguity makes you uncomfortable.
• You enjoy vigorously defending what you know to be right as much as you enjoy being wrong when the best answer wins. You're loath to have your co-workers discover bugs you've missed.
• You'll work directly with people in the entire company to design core product features, which you'll release and see used by hundreds of thousands of users.

Benefits

• Accrued paid vacation
• Paid holidays
• Full medical+dental benefits for US workers
• Medical insurance stipend for non-US workers
• Yearly self improvement stipend
• Monthly stipend for co-working space

How to Apply

When completing the application form, in the field marked THX1138, be sure to answer this question: Name a product that you think is exceptionally well-designed – ideally a non-electronic product. Explain what makes it well-designed.

NOW HIRING: Full Stack Software Engineer

Company: Portchain
Website: https://www.portchain.com
Headquarters: Copenhagen, Denmark

Container Shipping: An industry with huge potential to make a difference
90% of all goods globally are transported through a container. The largest container vessels are 400 meters long and can transport 20,000 containers at a time. The container shipping industry is the backbone and enabler of global trade, but it is struggling. At its core the industry is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, and key planning processes are done manually on a global scale. This leads to high operational costs, lost revenue, and unnecessarily high greenhouse gas emissions. At Portchain, we work with our customers to reduce operational complexity and optimize planning through software and cutting-edge analytics.

The role

Portchain is seeking a talented Full Stack Software Engineer to join our software engineering team that uses data, mathematical modeling, machine learning, and optimization to help our users get full transparency on their operations and make better decisions.

You will work with the development team to build advanced features into our products and ensure these are robust and reliable for use in live operations.

Portchain is an exciting fast-growth company where you will work with an incredible team on applications with a truly global impact.

Tasks and Responsibilities

• Lead the implementation of end-to-end features from specifications and designs
• Problem solve architectural decisions with the team
• Maintain quality and ensure responsiveness of applications
• Maintain code integrity and organization
• Understand and follow security and data protection best practices

Role Requirements

• 5 years minimum of professional experience in Software Engineering
• Demonstrated excellent knowledge of technology across several domains
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills paired with the ability to develop creative and efficient solutions
• Proficiency in automated unit and integration tests
• A track record of successfully working remotely
• A deep understanding that we always have to navigate between the immediate impact of a feature and the technical debt incurred by its implementation. You are able to carefully weigh the pros and cons and make a choice in favour of the company and the team
• Comfortable with rapid changes common in early-stage product development
• Energized by complex problem solving and ability to think out of the box

Bonus skills

• Experience with any or all of the following technologies: Node.js, React, TypeScript
• Experience with building B2B and consumer quality products, enabling business capability and objectives through technology

About Portchain

Portchain (www.portchain.com) is a Danish startup founded in 2017 by three McKinsey alums with the ambition to solve the hardest planning problems in container shipping through software and industrial analytics. We apply cutting-edge machine learning and optimization through an industry-leading customer experience to container carriers and terminals to optimize their key planning processes and create a step-change in productivity.

Portchain’s customers include several global top-5 companies, served by our quickly growing 22 people strong international team. In addition, Portchain has closed a multi-million dollar seed round together with prominent investors, and have received several prestigious grants e.g., from the Danish government’s Innovation Fund and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.

NOW HIRING: Full Stack Laravel Developer (Vue.js)

Company: Delicious Brains Inc.
Website: https://spinupwp.com
Headquarters: Nova Scotia, Canada

Hi, my name is Brad Touesnard. I’m the founder of Delicious Brains Inc. We make high quality products for WordPress.

The “we” is currently a small team of eight developers, one designer, one marketer, and myself. I’m very proud to say that our little crew has been managing to delight thousands of customers for years.

In addition to this position, I’m currently in the process of hiring a Developer Writer with plans for more soon. We have big plans for 2020. Exciting times!

The Job

Back in November 2018, we launched a new SaaS product called SpinupWP (a modern cloud-based server control panel designed for WordPress). We launched out of beta in May last year and have been growing steadily ever since. We’ve helped thousands of customers spin up over 11,000 sites, perform over 91,000 site backups, and perform over 1 million tasks!

Currently, Gilbert and Ash work full-time on SpinupWP developing and maintaining the app as well as supporting all of our customers. Lewis, our in-house designer helps with all things design as well.

I’m looking for a talented Laravel developer to join Gilbert and Ash to help build new features for SpinupWP as well as help out with support and documentation.

The app is built using Laravel (PHP) and the front-end is built using Vue.js, so lots of experience with both frameworks and their associated tooling is essential. You’ll also be using Ansible to make sure SpinupWP provisions servers and creates and maintains sites using our LEMP stack (Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, etc) so sysadmin experience of hosting sites/web apps is also essential.

We currently work in eight-week cycles with a two-week cooldown period where you can work on whatever you want from the SpinupWP backlog. All of our code is committed to GitHub and your code will be reviewed by Gilbert or Ash using GitHub pull requests. You’ll also be reviewing Gilbert and Ash’s code.

Responsibilities

• Help plan and define the scope of new features
• Build new features using modern PHP (Laravel), JavaScript (Vue) and Ansible
• Work on bug fixes and improvements during each cycle
• Maintain and write new unit and acceptance tests
• Write documentation and in-app copy
• Support our customers via email
• Write articles and tutorials for our blog
• Attend company retreats (see details below)

Requirements

• Expert PHP & JavaScript development skills
• 6+ years of advanced PHP development
• 6+ years of HTML & CSS development
• 6+ years of advanced JavaScript development
• 5+ years of project work with Laravel
• 3+ years of project work with Vue.js
• 1+ years of project work with git as source control
• Sysadmin experience hosting sites/web apps on Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis
• Experience writing automated tests
• Excellent English communication skills (spoken and written)
• Work hours in a North America time zone
• Self-motivated and work well independently
• Comfortable working remotely (we don’t have an office)

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with WordPress
• Experience with Ansible
• Experience building and using REST APIs
• UX and design skills
• Open source contributions
• Computer Science degree or equivalent

About You

• You’re excited about the prospect of working on the full spectrum of tasks that are required to build a successful SaaS app. From backend and frontend development, sysadmin, design and UX to documentation and support. You don’t mind wearing multiple hats on any given day.
• You’re curious and love to learn. You embrace the opportunity to level up, learn something new and really dig into it. You’re a disciplined worker and have no trouble getting work done at home on any given day.
• You value consistency above preference and will adopt new coding styles, standards, and tools to that end. You are stellar at identifying the simple, elegant solution in a sea of over-engineering possibilities.
• Although you often need people to help you generate ideas and formulate a plan of attack on a project, you do your best work in isolation without interruption. You’re proactive in tackling things that need to be done without direction.
• You’re exceptional at communicating in writing via instant message, email, etc. You’re ok on the phone and video chat too. You understand that clear, concise written communication is how remote teams thrive. Putting a pull request up for review without explaining its context is unheard of for you.
• You own both successes and failures. When a project you’re leading turns into a disaster, you own it and you learn from it. You never point the finger at others.
• You invite criticism and genuinely want to grow as a professional. You’re onboard with pushing each other to be better and are not afraid to give constructive criticism in addition to receiving it.

Perks

• Location Independent. Work from wherever you’re happiest, as long as you can make scheduled meetings.
• Choose Your Schedule. Most companies claim to have flexible hours, but the reality is often very different. We flex our hours for real. 💪As long you’re hitting 30-37.5 hours per week on average and you do what you say you’ll do, we’re good.
• Company Retreats. As a remote company, it’s super important to get some face time. Last year we met up in Berlin and we were planning to head to Portugal in June (before a global pandemic struck). Will you be joining us on future retreats?
• Personal Development. If there’s a conference or event that will help you level up, the company will cover your expenses. You’re also allotted 3 hours per month to learn something new, participate in community discussions, and/or contribute to an open source project.
• Profit Sharing. I present a Profit & Loss report to the team quarterly so everyone knows how the company is doing. And when the company does well, the team does well.
• Company Holidays. Things get pretty quiet in late December / early January, so we always treat ourselves to a couple of weeks off to reboot during this time.
• Paid Leave. For the birth or adoption of a child, the company offers 8 weeks of 100% paid leave for primary caregivers and 3 weeks for secondary caregivers. We also offer 5 paid sick days and 3 days of paid bereavement leave.
• Competitive Salaries. The company pays salaries that are competitive with the market in which you reside. We don’t use the benefits of remote as leverage to negotiate lower salaries.

Apply

Fill out the application form

We are an equal opportunity employer. Application information that is prone to unconscious biases is hidden during the review process whenever possible. We judge the content of the applications on their own without knowledge of the applicant’s race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or age. We support workplace diversity, but not at the expense of equal opportunity and meritocracy. We’re looking for talented and empathetic people no matter their other attributes.

I look forward to reviewing your application.

Best of luck,

Brad Touesnard
