Nift is redefining how customers discover new businesses. With millions of people using Nift each month,  our real-time AI platform is built for massive scale on AWS. Our small but nimble product team loves tackling engineering challenges. We look for smart engineers who are passionate about building, owning and scaling features, while finding creative solutions to technical obstacles. As a Software Engineer, you will own projects end to end, from designing database schema to creating responsive front-end interfaces. 

We’re now looking for a Full Stack Engineer who not only loves writing clean code, but is also excited about helping build and scale our AWS infrastructure. If you’re a strong developer with a DevOps mindset, this is a high-impact role with direct visibility into how your work drives growth.

One of Nift’s core values is that we make decisions based on data, not seniority or hunches. To be successful, you will need to be data-driven. You must have a passion for continuously measuring and improving our customers’ experience, and a natural gravitation towards new AWS dev-ops related projects.

  • JavaScript
  • HTML5

  • Comfortable with CI/CD workflows and Linux environments
  • Strong grasp of software architecture principles and design patterns
  • Able to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code
  • Able to communicate well
  • Able to persevere through engineering challenges 

Preferred Skills

  • Understanding of web application architecture, RESTful APIs, and database design
  • Experience with distributed systems
  • Experience performance tuning and scaling systems
  • Experience with Docker
  • Familiarity with database systems such as PostgreSQL, MySQL or NoSQL

What you will do:

  • Own full stack development projects from database design to responsive front-end implementation
  • Collaborate with our Chief Architect to design and evolve our AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, ECS, etc.)
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines and monitor system health
  • Contribute to architectural decisions across the stack
  • Troubleshoot performance and infrastructure issues, and proactively identify areas for improvement
  • Write clean, tested, maintainable code—and help others do the same through code reviews

What you need

  • Minimum of 3 years of professional experience as a backend and full stack software engineer
  • Passion for back end development and DevOps and infrastructure
  • Self-motivation, grit & tenacity
  • Ownership Mindset: Proactive and self-driven with a strong sense of initiative, consistently taking responsibility, and exceeds expectations

What you get:

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits (401K, Medical/Dental/Vision), and we offer all full-time employees the potential to hold company equity
  • Flexible remote work
  • Unlimited Responsible PTO
  • Great opportunity to join a growing, cash-flow-positive company while having a direct impact on Nift's revenue, growth, scale, and future success
