Principal Full Stack Developer

About the Company

Tailorbird's vision is to organize any renovation, instantly.

We’re building the “Easy Button” for elegant home renovations, using analytics and automation to accelerate acquisition and renovation of large multi-family assets.

We are currently in hyper-growth mode and proud to have some of the largest and most reputable owners, contractors, and suppliers as our customers in the US!

We’re a global organization with distributed teams in the US, Latin America and India, and our HQ is located on the campus of Princeton University in Princeton, NJ.

Reasons to consider not taking this role at Tailorbird:

Please note: We value transparency and we intend to set expectations accurately. Working at Tailorbird is a thrilling journey and we want to ensure this is a fit for both you and our team.

• Typically, early-stage startup teams work based on goals, not time sheets. This is not a "clock in, clock out" type of environment. You are expected to balance the freedom of flexible working hours with the responsibility of delivering on time and excellent work.
• Startup environments will undoubtedly test your tolerance for ambiguity. We don't always have the answer. Sometimes, you'll be given a high-level objective and you will need to devise a plan to execute on time.
• Building a product requires inner calm and motivation: the ability to not grow frustrated if a process changes or a mistake is made is critical for success.

• Opportunity for equity in an early-stage, venture-backed company.
• Open PTO policy
• Company-paid medical/dental/vision insurance for employees and dependents.
