The role
Township is looking to add a Staff Software Engineer to our team. We work primarily on React, Next.js, and React Native projects writing in Javascript or Typescript, as well as full stack Elixir and Phoenix applications. Interest and/or experience with those technologies is required. This position is best suited for someone who wants to join a team as an individual contributor.
As an engineer, you will find that this role is very hands-on. You will collaborate with senior technical leadership and clients on the implementation of business-critical applications. You will create new web applications from scratch, extend current code bases, and design new architecture for future expansions that enable fast-moving companies to meet the demands of growth. Specifically, you will combine your problem-solving abilities and hands-on coding experience to drive the development of early-stage client projects grounded in our full technology stack. You will have the opportunity to help shape crucial architecture decisions to ensure reliability, performance, and sustainability.
Management vs. Individual Contributors (ICs) at Township
Managers and individual contributors are compensated the same, even though the roles and responsibilities are quite different. Traditional wisdom suggests that companies should promote their highest performers into management roles, regardless of their interest in or ability to be a manager. Township equalizes management and ICs in an effort to remove incentives from choosing one over the other. Both paths have a clear path set for them within Township, and contribute to the overall team success in important and unique ways. See more here: Transparent Compensation.
