Staff Engineer

We are seeking an outstanding individual contributor who wants to help scale a B2B SaaS application that has product / market fit. We have over 1000 businesses use our product to manage their operation, and growing rapidly. You’ll be maintaining the existing codebase and expanding it based on user feedback. Features you create will make an immediate difference to how thousands of gyms manage their business.

You should love managing complexity in elegant ways, and creating user interfaces that hide that complexity in the backend. The product is mature, but is constantly evolving / adapting based on new use-cases and user feedback.

About the role:

Our CEO is currently our lead developer as well. You’ll receive training on the stack, platform and flows within the software. Gym management might not sound complicated, however there is a lot of complexity hidden behind our shiny UI, as we account for many different use-case that you likely have never considered as part of running a gym. Regardless of your skills and background, we believe this will be a worthy challenge.

About the team:

Gymdesk is a small and effective team (currently 10 people). We don’t have office politics and try to minimize the amount of interruptions you will have to deal with. We are a remote team that communicates mostly through slack and video chats as needed. We use Github to manage our repos, tickets and sprints.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of demonstrated professional experience with the entire PHP stack (language, frameworks, open-source libraries, web servers, optimization)
• A growth mindset. You want to challenge yourself to grow as a technical leader and take on new responsibilities and acquire new skills.
• Solid front end skills with the basic HTML stack – HTML5, CSS, vanila Javascript and jQuery
• Strong experience with (My)SQL database design, querying and optimization
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• And most importantly, a natural ability to get stuff done
