Job title: Remote Full Stack Engineer, Nanny Lane
Company: CareGuide
Job description: ABOUT US
CareGuide is home to over 6 million caregivers and families across the US and Canada. Our products help caregivers and families find each other through one of our specialized marketplaces across a host of different needs: childcare, home cleaning, pet sitting, and many more.
CareGuide has three main product lines. Nanny Lane is the youngest and fastest-growing of the three. Launched in 2017, Nanny Lane marries our expertise in matching families and nannies with our expertise in payroll.
Nanny Lane is the best of both worlds: the perks of a mature company, and the autonomy & agility of an early-stage startup. We’re a tight-knit, cross-functional team of five dedicated to making childcare more accessible. We are passionate collaborators who value working together and take pride in the experiences we create.
Our regular team socials, bi-weekly cross-team meetups, snack box delivered to our homes, and weekly game sessions help build an amazing culture. But the real secret is hiring people who care about their colleagues and are excited to build something big. This culture helps fuel a high-trust workplace, which allows us to do fun things like offer unlimited vacation. Our team is constantly looking to improve and works hard to build each other up. We win and lose together and we’re all seriously committed to your growth.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Nanny Lane is looking for a Full Stack Engineer who is excited to build the future of child care. You’ll be working with the General Manager and Principal Engineer to design highly impactful and innovative solutions to the problems that our families and nannies experience. We provide value first to our customers because having a product that enables users to be successful is what makes the Nanny Lane successful.
Work-Life Balance. We have high expectations and admire strong work ethic; however, what is more, important is a balance for your personal life. So, we strive to work smarter, not longer. You choose what hours and timing suits your lifestyle (within reason), and we will do our best to accommodate.
Autonomy. We want everyone to be able to perform to their best ability. With trust and respect, we give everyone the opportunity to find a rhythm that works for them.
Exponential Career Trajectory. Joining an early product line that is rapidly growing will provide you with endless opportunities at different scales. We’re tackling new challenges every day, enabling us to grow and develop continuously.
Dedicated to Quality. We always do the best we can with any ambitious problems we’re solving. Being on a small team, team members work closely with all functions. Feedback is encouraged and welcomed to ensure we create the best possible experience for families and nannies and to help everyone improve their crafts
