Backend Developer for fashion circularity web app -- 2
Budget: $40 – $60 USD
// Company
We are an ecommerce company that enables the resale of premium streetwear. We work with brands and enable their customers to return worn items for store credit, keeping clothing out of landfills.
// Project details
The goal of the assignment is to ship an MVP of a product that allows customers to return garments, including frontends for customers and internal teams (e.g. an admin console). The scope of the project is being finalised at the time of this job post. The hired person will join a newly formed project team of 3 people (Frontend, Backend, DevOps) who will become part of the in-house engineering team for the whole duration of the project.

// Skills
We're looking for a senior level Backend Developer skilled in the technologies above; part of the hiring process will be taking an online code test. We also will be looking for someone with strong communication skills and the ability and willingness to contribute their opinions on implementation details and debate with the rest of the team.
// Time commitment
We need a commitment of up to 6 weeks (minimum 4 weeks) with full-time hours (40 hours per week). Most of the time you will work in close collaboration with another 2 full-time team members assigned to this project but ~5hrs/wk will require syncing your calendar with the rest of the team for various meetings like standups, deep-dive demos and planning sessions. This is a remote project working with a fully remote team.

// Additional company background
Trading-in clothing is still a new consumer behaviour today. There are no conventions for what this experience should be; there are also many related fears and anxieties people have.
Online shopping was once in a similar place. It wasn’t that long ago that few people shopped online and most were afraid to put credit card info onto a website. Dozens of companies were trying to define the digital equivalent of shopping carts; inventing digital-only conventions like 1-click checkout; and reducing consumer anxiety around credit card theft with SSL and big green lock icons.
We believe circularity in fashion will one day be as ubiquitous as online shopping but not until we design the experiences that bring people in.
