San Francisco - EasyPost

EasyPost is changing the way shipping works and helping a lot of people while we're at it. Every month millions of EasyPost packages are delivered across the world. By tying together disparate data sources and APIs we've created a scalable shipping API for developers everywhere.

This is just the beginning of the beginning. Imagine if shipping worked like all our other web services. You have a smartphone, why do you need to go to a store to ship something? Why do you need to wait at home for a package? Because no single platform has tied together all these pieces of the transaction yet.

We're excited about solving interesting problems alongside great people. We'd love to have you along for the ride.

Positions:

Backend - Ruby/Rails (not a requirement, many of us are new to it and we'll eventually migrate away), MySQL, Softlayer - Rates, Tracking, Batch jobs, adding carriers, and other API improvements.

Frontend - Ruby/Rails, JS, CSS - Dashboard improvements, visualizations, site redesign.

We're looking for senior developers who want to get in early, take over an area of the API, and make it great.
