Job Description

About us:

Reins is dedicated to helping millions of independent businesses keep their key employees. Starting with the trades & construction industry, we provide solutions that help business owners create and track profit sharing and equity programs that give their employees more reasons to stay.

We’re backed by some of the best investors in the country including Better Tomorrow Ventures, Torch Capital, and Animo Ventures. This isn’t our first rodeo: we successfully built and sold a tech company called Obie and are excited to be pursuing our second act.

Our workplace culture is steeped in grit, optimism, and transparency, and we’re looking to make our first few hires outside the founding team that share those same values!

Job Overview:

We’re searching for a talented Founding Software Engineer to join our team. The main focus of your role will be to work on the Reins web application (80%). You will also be responsible for ongoing customer support and bug fixes (20%). This is expected to evolve over time based on the needs of our customers.

Currently, Software Engineering is founder-led. You will work closely with the founder and CTO to write efficient and scalable code.

In this role, you will have the autonomy to build and enhance features, and strategize as the company scales. You will be a strong individual contributor, but as the company grows, you will have the opportunity to grow into an Engineering leader for Reins.

Key responsibilities:

You will be a critical role within Reins and you will be expected to:

• Develop new features for the Reins web application (written primarily in React on the front-end and NodeJS on the back-end)
• Work with designers to translate Figma mockups into reality
• Ship high quality, tested features with clear documentation
• Partner with coworkers to develop best practices for planning, testing, and execution
• Answer technical customer support queries and fix customer bugs/issues as they arise

Minimum Requirements:

• 5 years of experience in SaaS software development
• 5 years of experience with NodeJS, React, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB
• Strong desire to learn new technology and processes and turn them into concrete business contributions
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Strong levels of autonomy while maintaining healthy collaboration with others

About you:

• You’re excited to serve independent businesses and work in the employee ownership space.
• You move quickly and like to experiment. You believe that trying something is better than doing nothing.
• You’re excited to work independently and have a lot of autonomy as a critical part of the company.
• You value transparency and open communication.
• Bonus points if you’ve worked with SMBs or in the trades.
• Bonus points for an interest in fintech or legaltech.
