Capbase is looking to hire a top-end javascript engineer to join our dynamic and growing remote team. Capbase is a digital governance platform for startups and securities transactions. We simplify legal compliance and corporate governance for startups.

  • Implement new product features and improve existing ones with an emphasis on maintainability, readability and reusability
  • Propose opportunities to improve our engineering processes, tools and team
  • Take ownership of key areas related to your responsibilities

A Capbase team member is:
  • Self motivated and self starting
  • Has a keen eye open for their work/life balance
  • Able to express themselves clearly in both written and spoken English

Specific Skills we’d love to bolster within, or add to our team:
  • Fluency in Javascript (specifically up to and including ES2019 additions, as well as stage 3 TC39 proposals)
  • Familiarity with developing applications for NodeJS 10/12 for AWS Lambdas
  • Familiarity with AWS SDKs for various technologies (those listed above and others)
  • Extensive experience using Jest, Mocha/Chai, or other Javascript testing frameworks
  • Familiarity with React and/or React Native (our client applications are based on these technologies)
  • Experience with document parsing and building data extraction tools using  parsing expression grammar (PEG)

In addition to a competitive salary and stock benefits, Capbase is proud to offer the following benefits:
  • 25 days annual leave to use for any purpose
  • $2,500 to purchase any equipment you need to do your job properly
  • $500 per year for professional development to use however you choose (conferences, books, online classes, etc)
  • Up to $300/mo in co-working membership allowance (market dependent)
  • Healthcare benefits fully paid for the employee, plus 75% covered for all dependents (only in countries without national healthcare)
  • An annual, expenses paid, global meetup of Capbase employees somewhere fun in the world
