Software Engineer

• Hybrid Remote/In-Person role – Grand Rapids, MI

The Role

86 Repairs is a technology company transforming a huge, overlooked problem in restaurants: getting things fixed. While other parts of the industry have evolved thanks to tech (think: online ordering, point-of-sale), repairs and maintenance (R&M) has kept the status quo… until we came along.

We’re looking for a full stack software engineer with 1-3 years of experience to help us bring new products to market, evolve our business intelligence (BI) reporting, and implement a new QA program across our platform. You’ll be working directly with our Head of Product, our engineering team, and your colleagues across other departments to solve problems, build software solutions, and help us navigate our incredibly powerful datasets using our BI stack and user-facing data discovery tools. You’ll gain valuable experience in all of these areas alongside an exceptional senior team, with growth opportunities as the company continues to grow.

You’ll be working with a modern tech stack:

• Backend: Node.js with TypeScript, PostgreSQL database, deployed on AWS
• Frontend: Vue.js
• Mobile: React Native

Qualifications

• 1-3 years of software engineering and QA experience
• Strong SQL experience
• Experience with BigQuery, Looker, and/or other BI tools will be very helpful
• Experience writing test suites and leveraging QA tools
• Experience as a team member on project or support teams
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including experience working with non-technical colleagues (internal and external end users)
• Ability to take end user feedback and see it through to a completely developed work
• Experience with Agile practices in a cross-functional environment is ideal
• Passion for pragmatic software design

We do not require

• A college degree or high GPA
• Your own equipment. We’ll provide all the tools you need to be successful.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $120,000+, based on relevant experience for the role. Compensation is tied to Chicago market data, regardless of where you live.
• Equity stock options included for every full-time employee
• Health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance plans (most covered at 100%)
• Flex spending account for family and childcare
• 401(k) plan with 3% matching
• Unlimited PTO starting after your first 90 days, with generous bereavement and sick policies
• “Check Please” dining benefit: the company pays for you to eat at our customers’ restaurants once a quarter (up to $400 per year!)
