In this role you'll report to the SVP, Head of Engineering & Technology and collaborate with Product, Design, and Content to develop new features, improve our existing code base, and ensure our applications stay sharp and snappy. Most importantly, as AO evolves to a platform-driven product business, you will play a key role in scaling our platform to empower millions of people to discover the world's most amazing places and experiences.

AO’s culture leans on curiosity, candor and speed. The ideal candidate will thrive in an environment where curiosity meets execution, feedback and continuous improvement is a gift, and progress matters more than perfection.

Key Responsibilities

  • Write high-quality, maintainable, production-ready code that can serve millions of curious users across the world.
  • Work on a diverse range of projects, including front-end components, API design, new product features, brand partnership campaigns, and content projects.
  • Collaborate across the entire company, learn about the needs of our users, and improve the product.
  • Help shape technical and product decisions that will help our company grow including thoughtful build vs. buy decisions that balance speed and scale.
  • Contribute to improving workflows and performance to help our small team move faster.
 

Required Qualifications

  • At least 2 years experience working with an MVC app framework in production (Rails a plus).

  • Some familiarity with coding assistants (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, etc).
  • Familiarity with the development lifecycle: from the initial git commit to deployment on production to iterative improvements.
  • Excellent communication skills with your fellow engineers and non-technical colleagues.
  • The ability to solve complex problems, and the wisdom to know when simple solutions may be best.
  • The desire to keep learning, because it’s useful and because it’s fun.
  • A passion for Atlas Obscura’s mission of discovery and wonder.


Nice to Have

  • Experience with AWS and basic dev-ops.
