WorkFlowy

Workflowy is a small product company that pioneered digital outliners 15 years ago and is led by engineers and designers. We're looking for a strong developer generalist that isn't afraid of any code. The more languages and frameworks you've explored, the better. And you should be really good at your favorite tech, whatever it is.

Here's the list of qualities we find admirable (please make sure you match with at least some of them - we'll ask you which ones you chose):

- You can't stop programming in your head, even when people are talking to you

- You never understood "tech debt sprints", refactoring is inseparable from coding for you

- You often can't stop rewriting the same code over and over, until it's perfect for you

- You've built complex useless things on esoteric technologies just because you can

- You've tried and can't see much difference in Rails, Django, Laravel, Phoenix, etc.

- You read documentation for fun when new frameworks or languages come out

- You love it when you can delete a bunch of code or an entire library

- You think that README is where you start learning, not where you stop

- You often can't fall asleep until you resolve a programming problem

- You're having hard time when people ask "what's your specialty"

- You have experience programming in other languages, your path was twisted

- You feel like you use maybe 30% of your total knowledge in your day-to-day work

- You often find yourself trying to understand how things work under the hood

- You do or have read lots of books, not necessarily about programming

- You simply love programming and maintain strong work-work balance

Be ready to code on the call (on your computer in your editor).

Frontend: TypeScript / React, Electron, Capacitor

Backend: Python / Django, PostgreSQL and Redis

What you're going to have to deal with:

- All our 15 years of code are stored in one giant monorepo

- We commit straight to master and deploy to real users daily

- The entire stack runs in a Docker container on one giant server

- We've deleted all Agile rituals, sprint planning, stand-ups, etc.

- No feature branches, forced code reviews or pair programming

- No insulation layers - developers talk directly to the users

- No managers except for the CTO

- Everyone drives their own work without constant oversight

- The team is small and everyone's contributions are transparent

Don't forget to delete m-dashes (—) in your cover letter - it's a big AI giveaway!
