BackerKit
Jobs at BackerKit and what it’s like to work there.
BackerKit provides tools and services that help crowdfunding creators manage backers and fulfill campaigns so makers can focus on creating.
Mission
Empower creative communities by making it easier to build, support, and deliver crowdfunded projects at scale.
BackerKit’s stated purpose is to help entrepreneurs and makers bring projects to life; the company emphasizes ownership, kindness, passion, and learning by iteration.
Engineering at BackerKit emphasizes heavy pairing: the engineering listing notes teams "pair close to 100% of the time," using pairing sessions as opportunities to teach, learn, and get work done. Senior engineers are expected to lead and get the most out of those sessions.
The team ships frequently and iterates quickly: the engineering posting states the team deploys at least once a day and often more. In a small, fast-moving team, engineers make important technical decisions, give product input, and are expected to speak up and iterate early and often.
BackerKit describes everyone as customer-facing; engineers are expected to understand and engage with the creators they serve so technical and product work stays grounded in customer needs.
Technology signals in engineering postings include Ruby on Rails, Redis, PostgreSQL, and JavaScript.
Open roles are posted on BackerKit’s careers page. The careers page invites interested candidates to apply.
