Requirements
We’re looking for you if you’re an experienced full stack software engineer. More specifically, we’re looking for:
Most of our software is written in PHP (Laravel) and JavaScript (React, React Native, and Vue). You’ll work with these languages and possibly more as we continue to grow. We’re not worried about checking off boxes for specific languages. As long as you have a background with any mainstream object-oriented language and have a foundation of engineering fundamentals, we believe you can get up to speed with any similar language quickly.
We believe you should be empowered to own the entire life of your software, from the initial design through release and observing. And we believe you should be responsible for that software’s continued health. After all, that’s what really matters — the software needs to work correctly so users can get what they want quickly and efficiently.
All team members at LawnStater are expected to embody our core values which are: Be data-driven, Get shit done, People are critical, Challenge the status quo, Be scrappy, and Build a great environment.
