Job Description
Enveritas is a 501(c)3 non-profit and Y Combinator-backed startup looking to hire for our Engineering & Data Group. You can learn more about this job and about our Front-end Engineering Team at https://www.enveritas.org/jobs/frontend-software-eng/ We are looking for a frontend software engineer with a focus on front-end development and React to join us on a remote/global, full-time basis. Our Frontend Engineering Team is a four-person team and is part of our Engineering & Data Group — a quirky, talented, and humble group of about twenty with diverse backgrounds ranging from journalism to academia to international industry. About Our Engineering Team The Engineering Team at Enveritas builds software to collect, analyze, and report data about coffee farmers’ conditions and practices. This large-scale data-collection effort requires many moving parts to work together, and we use technology to support that effort at every step of the process — from identifying coffee farms in satellite imagery, to coordinating survey edits across country teams, to detecting data anomalies in real-time that can be investigated while teams are still in the field. Our work supports our Operations Teams in authoring surveys and deploying surveyors, our Data Team in analyzing field data, and our Partnerships and Data Visualization Teams in creating clear insights for our clients. While our tooling varies across products, our frontend projects generally use React and Apollo, and interface with Python/PostgreSQL back-ends over GraphQL APIs. We use git and Github for maintaining our code, CircleCI for CI/CD, and AWS for hosting our services and static resources, with containerization where appropriate for development and deployment.
