About Square 8

Square 8 is part of one of the largest inbound logistics companies in the United States. We are building a new logistics management platform that will allow staff to move from the existing manual & legacy application processes to a modern, streamlined system. This is a transition where the current application continues operations while the new one is being built and incrementally rolled out to the organization.

About The Role

We are looking for a full-time full stack software developer with React + Golang  expertise and a minimum 3-6 years of experience in Enterprise systems. Knowledge of, and experience with, modern development environments & SDLC is a must (ex.: Git, Docker, CD/CI, AWS, etc.).

This is a full-time remote role (W2 with benefits or 1099 contract) but is expected to be fully integrated with the overall group development effort. The individual is expected to have a high level of independent thinking but is a team player. It is a demanding role, so the work hours may sometimes vary, but the primary objective is the result and not ‘hours spent on the job’. You will be joining an existing fully-remote team with opportunities to grow and learn.

Our team mostly works in US Pacific Standard Time, so you will need to be available for meetings during some overlapping hours.

• Experience with Docker and containerization concepts
• Some experience building relational databases and writing SQL

A Note about Applying to Square 8

Systemic inequities in hiring have caused women, people of color, LBTQIA+ folks,
and others to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Square 8 encourages you to break that statistic and apply, as no one ever meets 100% of the qualifications. We look forward to your application.

We will be closing applications for this position on November 12, 2022 with a decision expected with two business weeks of closing applications.

Principles only, no agencies or recruiters.
