What's it like to work at Nadine West?

Nadine West is a fast-growing women’s fashion subscription.

Our company culture allows driven, methodical, tenacious people to learn, grow, and succeed.

If you love and embrace the mindset outlined in Cal Newport’s Deep Work and Jocko Willink’s Extreme Ownership, then Nadine West could be a good cultural fit for you.

Freedom from the constant interruptions of meetings, phone, Slack, and Zoom means that we are able to move the needle more with less effort. It also means a calmer work environment (instead of long, stressful work days) and more time to develop better processes (instead of constantly putting out fires.)

What will I do as senior engineer?

Reporting directly to the Lead Engineer (and working alongside a member of the Ruby on Rails core team,) you will dive in and take ownership of our existing codebase, helping extend and scale our bespoke recommendations engine, order management, inventory, shipping, and reporting components.

This is primarily a back-office application that has only internal users. Late night and weekend emergencies are exceedingly rare, almost non-existent.

This is a great opportunity to help lead the engineering team of a startup that is already profitable, already a well-known brand for women, but still growing fast even in COVID times.

We need a senior engineer who can not only build our existing codebase, but also push the envelope, as we are developing some sophisticated functionality and data science capabilities, similar to Netflix, Amazon, and Stitch Fix.

What are the requirements?

You have built, launched, extended, and maintained a business-critical Rails app long enough to learn from your decisions, and love sharing those stories.

You have time-tested beliefs about code quality, testing, architecture, database design, ORMs, and build vs. buy tradeoffs, and enjoy articulating those beliefs to your colleagues.

You’re at home owning the entire product development cycle (design, dev, testing, release, monitoring).

You’ve managed CI/CD pipelines and love auto-deploying to production after your well-honed tests pass.

You cherish focused, low-interruption deep work like we do (read Basecamp’s “Is group chat making you sweat?"
