Back End Engineer

Quartzy is the world’s #1 lab management software, used by more than 30,000 labs at academic institutions, as well as pharma and biotech companies. Quartzy provides a helping hand so your lab gets more done, more quickly.

We’re on a quest for an extraordinary back-end engineer who will join us to help build and maintain our marketplace applications.

You are a self-starter with a bias for action, and you can take projects from start to finish. You want to work as part of a small, tightly-knit team that moves quickly and pushes changes to production many times a day. You always admired your friends in science, but your knack for computers led you to programming.

• Design and implement new functionality from the ground up
• Work closely with your team to design and develop features that will empower our users
• Measure and improve site performance and scalability
• Write well tested code that is resilient to heavy iteration

What we're looking for

• Demonstrable experience writing clean, thoughtfully crafted PHP that scales
• Experience with other parts of our technology stack: MySQL, Redis, Beanstalkd, NGINX, Git
• An entrepreneurial attitude that gets high-quality projects done quickly
• Ability to work efficiently and communicate clearly

What we'd love

• Experience working with money in code
• Familiarity with asynchronous worker queues
• Occasionally, you end the day with more lines of code removed than added; and that feels great
