About Maddox + You:

You will be responsible for the development of services that power our internal business systems. You will collaborate with business stakeholders and other engineers to design and deliver software that enables us to streamline, track, and automate the purchase, sale, and reconditioning of electrical transformers. You will consume other internal and external services, provide backend APIs for frontend applications and other services, and flex your fullstack expertise.

As a member of a small development team, you will be expected to work with and support a variety of technologies whenever necessary. You will have the satisfaction of bringing order and efficiency to complex business domains, eliminating toil for your colleagues, and implementing technology patterns that promote a fast, flexible developer experience.

Your role will provide a healthy blend of backend, frontend development, and pattern-finding/infrastructure work. When developing infrastructure, you will be creating and enhancing scripts, frameworks, and patterns that enable the rapid scaffolding, interconnection, and deployment of services. 

As a senior member of the development team, you will be expected to participate in conversations regarding technology & pattern selection, perform peer review, and offer mentorship to colleagues.
