We're Mac & Mia and we're looking to bring on our first full-time engineer to help define and execute a data-driven technology strategy. What's Mac & Mia? In simple terms, it's Trunk Club for kids. We're early stage, but this isn't our first rodeo. Our team is strong and we have a big vision. If you thrive one solving hard problems and making an impact, let's talk!

Our existing product and tools are built in Python using the Django framework and Bootstrap, but you'll have the freedom to use whatever languages, frameworks, libraries, or tools you need to get the job done.

Sample projects:
- Architect and implement data mining opportunities to improve the business
- Build and rapidly iterate on interactive prototypes
- Interview customers to understand pain points
- Design and maintain inventory and order management systems

This isn't your typical backend engineering position. We're an experienced and collaborative group who likes to work as a team. You'll certainly be writing code, but you'll also have an opportunity to contribute and help solve real-world problems ranging from logistics to customer experience and everything in between.

Must have:
3+ years of experience developing web applications
Great problem-solving skills
Basic HTML, Javascript, CSS, and JSON skills
Excellent communication
Strong desire to learn and use new technology
Brilliant jerks need not apply

Nice to have:
Previous work in E-commerce
Experience working in a data-driven culture
Proponent of test-driven development
Experience in web service/API creation

Families and children are important (we have a lot of both) to us and we strive to promote a healthy work/life balance. We provide great medical, dental and vision benefits and plenty of vacation (see Families and kids above!). Orders are flowing and boxes are shipping! Our team is well-connected, has started and sold multiple companies and raised millions in funding prior to Mac & Mia. Are you ready to join us?
