Job description

Responsibilities and Opportunities

You'll be tasked with building core application features, either designing the tables and APIs to drive it or the user interface to use it (or both). Your role here will be determined by your strengths and interests. You'll be given ample opportunity to become a domain expert and owner of the systems you are most interested in.

Just as you'll be guiding the design and implementation of the product, you'll also be expected to help guide the direction of the software stack. Specifically, we're interested in migrating away from some technology choices which are no longer serving us, such as our roots in MeteorJS.

You'll also have an opportunity to learn Elixir, a new functional programming language.

Unique Technical Challenges and Opportunities

• We're looking to bring great software practices to bear on an underrepresented market.
• The product experience must be extremely empathetic to our users.
• Since we operate in a heavily regulated space, our software must be thoroughly tested for compliance.
• Data integrity is critical, and changes must be auditable.

Technical Requirements

• Strong experience with TypeScript
• Strong experience with SQL
• Experience with React and single page applications
• Experience using relational databases, especially schema design
• Favors pragmatic functional programming

Qualities We're Looking For

• Marathon pace engineering ideals; thinking slow to move fast
• Comfortable working with both local and remote teams; you'll be working in an office in Denver and working with another team in Austin, TX.
• Comfortable providing and accepting feedback

Our Stack

• TypeScript single-page application using React, GraphQL (Apollo), and CSS modules
• Elixir server running on Phoenix and Absinthe for the GraphQL endpoint
• PostgreSQL database

Life at Haven Connect

About Haven Connect

The founder and CEO, Caroline Caselli, has a deep and personal connection to the affordable housing crisis in America. As a social worker, she saw first hand how property managers failed to properly utilize technology to stay in touch with applicants. She started Haven Connect to address this failure.

In engineering, we're a small team of two engineers right now and looking to expand to half a dozen in the near future. Right now we are focusing on planning, designing, and shipping new features to support new customers, help close deals, and build the over-arching vision of the product.

We have backgrounds in legal discovery & review, mobile applications, and early stage startups.

Responsibility and ownership of the product and stack is shared fairly equitably between us and we'd like to keep our engineering department relatively flat.
