Snap! Mobile, Inc. is the leading online fundraising and e-commerce platform servicing schools, teams, clubs, and booster clubs to help them get the resources they need to build the next generation of leaders. There are a hundred ways you can join us in creating a better tomorrow. Donate to a program. Buy a T-shirt. Become part of our team. Whatever it is, it will be the most important, meaningful thing you can do, because you’ll be making a difference in the life of a kid. And every kid needs a champion.

Our Team: 

  • We support and help one another to achieve our goals together

  • We are domain driven, domain focused, and domain structured 

  • We strive for clarity of work in order to protect team autonomy 

  • We love pair programming

  • We take ownership in the full lifecycle of our work: discovery, development, quality control, release, and post launch maintenance 

 

We Value: 

  • Curiosity, creativity, courage, and playfulness 

  • Outcome over process

  • Action and expediency through alignment and transparency 

  • Constructive feedback, and recognition of each others efforts 

  • Humility and a sense of humor

 

Tech Stack Summary: 

  • NodeJS, JavaScript, TypeScript

  • GraphQL APIs + GraphQL Federation via API Gateway

  • Kubernetes, Docker, Helm

  • Github CI/CD with a Continuous Delivery Model

  • Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB, Kafka

  • AWS Cloud Services

  • Distributed Service Architecture

 

NodeJS API Developer Role:

We are developing a distributed system of APIs, transforming products into a scalable federated system. The NodeJS API Developer role focuses on developing new APIs via GraphQL per a specific domain. The APIs are then exposed through our API Gateway. These APIs will be consumed by a multitude of front end applications. All services are containerized and launched using our Kubernetes cluster.

At times, some of the data we need will exist in legacy systems. Unsurprisingly, legacy data may have mixed domains or schemes that are not scalable. Our task is to extract and translate the data into new databases, largely focusing on making sure a single domain is extracted, avoiding tight coupling. Then we decide wether to mass migrate or support parallel information through Kafka slowly moving away from the old system, and keeping old archived data.

 

NodeJS API Developer Responsibilities: 

  • Work closely with a dynamic group of people in various time zones 

  • Build, test, and maintain across the full cycle within a domain 

  • Develop domain centric API services / Microservices

  • Own development, quality, and maintenance of each service launched

  • Own security, monitoring, and alerting on everything you develop 

  • Write unit tests that help prevent regression

  • Own services from build to deployment, followed by maintaining service and optimizing performance

  • Opportunity to move across the stack between backend and frontend development if interested

 

NodeJS API Developer Qualifications: 

  • 3+ years of NodeJS API development (for senior candidates, 5+ years preferred) 

  • 3+ years working professionally with NodeJS in any capacity

  • 2+ years working professionally with GraphQL

  • 1+ years experience working with other languages besides JavaScript is highly preferred (Kotlin, Java, Ruby, Python, PHP, C#, Clojure, etc)

  • Demonstrated knowledge of how distributed and monolithic architectures work 

  • SOLID grasp of programming paradigms and patterns

  • Clear understanding of best practices and testing patterns 

  • Experience working with TypeScript, Prisma, Jest, and Apollo Server are a plus

  • High ability to tolerate the occasional dad joke or pun

  • Working knowledge of event driven systems 

 

About You: 

  • You love what you do

  • You are passionate about creating something awesome

  • You are passionate about working in teams to achieve great things 

  • You are comfortable with change and ambiguity

EXPANDING WITH EASE
Keeping the customer in mind increases team confidence
With a scheduled launch of at least three new products and services in 2022, teams at Snap! understand that agility is essential. And while rapidly expanding a customer base could seem daunting, Anderson isn’t just ready — he’s confident. “We’ve never been in a better place to tackle the challenges that come with this kind of growth,” he said. Whether it’s brainstorming ideas on a weekly team call or building major-scale educational workshops with other regional managers, Anderson attributes his team’s hunger for knowledge back to the work they do: serving educators, coaches and students.

I trust my team implicitly but don’t expect perfection. In turn, we’re able to learn from the wins and losses and continuously refine our approach as we evolve.

A TEAM-FIRST MENTALITY
Learning, growing and succeeding — together
Palmer has worn many hats while climbing the career ladder at Snap! Starting as a sales rep before rising into management, he credits his growth to being pushed to pursue specialized external trainings so that his skills continuously leveled up. “Every manager I’ve had at Snap! has put their team members first, because leadership truly cares about the well-being and development of their people,” he said. “Being able to learn from those with tons of experience and the right supervision is key.”

Senior Manager of Events and Projects
RELISHING IN REMOTE CULTURE
Putting PEP in every employee’s step
Johnson knows that collaboration is essential to build a prosperous company culture. But what does that look like when remote teams aren’t working under the same roof? “We have a team called PEP which stands for ‘People Experience with Purpose,’” she said. That means whether it’s a win, anniversary or personal milestone, it won’t be getting overlooked. Keeping teams tight-knit has also led to the hosting of virtual wellness workshops and, most recently, a peer-voted awards ceremony. “Although we’re working in different parts of the country, we can celebrate all the success stories — together.”
