Full-Stack Engineer

Full-Stack Developer (React, Node.js, Angular)

Organization: Bus to Show, Inc.

About Us: Bus-to-Show is a Denver, Colorado-based community integrated nonprofit dedicated to creating a fun, safe, and sustainable transportation solution for concert-goers and event attendees in the Denver Metro area, specializing in Red Rocks Amphitheatre shuttle services. Our core mission is twofold: to drastically reduce impaired driving incidents and to lower event-related carbon emissions (saving ~2000 gallons of fuel per bus per season). We integrate deeply with the local arts scene—featuring local artists and DJs on our distinctive fleet of school buses—to make the journey the most accessible and enjoyable part of the event. Beyond concerts, we offer charter services for private events to further our mission.

• Optimize all applications for maximum performance and ensure smooth embedding within our primary website host (Squarespace).
• Participate in code reviews to ensure a high standard of code quality and maintainability across all three applications.
• Mentor team members in modern JavaScript frameworks (React/Angular) to promote cross-training and full-stack proficiency.
• Implement and manage application security, including updating user authentication (e.g., login flows) and enforcing role-based access controls (RBAC) across user, admin, and driver types.

• Strong familiarity with RESTful APIs and asynchronous request handling
• Proficient with version control using Git.
• Strong practical experience implementing and securing authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., tokens, sessions, role-based access control (RBAC)).
• A strong ability to work independently and manage your time effectively to meet deadlines.

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with payment gateway integration, specifically Stripe.
