Nift is redefining how customers discover new businesses. With millions of people using Nift each month, our real-time AI platform is built for massive scale on AWS. Our small but nimble product team loves tackling engineering challenges. We look for smart engineers who are passionate about building, owning and scaling features, while finding creative solutions to technical obstacles. As a Software Engineer, you will own projects end to end, from designing database schema to creating responsive front-end interfaces.
We’re now looking for a Full Stack Engineer who not only loves writing clean code, but is also excited about helping build and scale our AWS infrastructure. If you’re a strong developer with a DevOps mindset, this is a high-impact role with direct visibility into how your work drives growth.
One of Nift’s core values is that we make decisions based on data, not seniority or hunches. To be successful, you will need to be data-driven. You must have a passion for continuously measuring and improving our customers’ experience, and a natural gravitation towards new AWS dev-ops related projects.
