We're not out to build the next Snapchat. Instead, we create beautiful, niche software tools for B2B startup founders that can grow into profitable companies.
We work on a handful of new projects every year across industries like legal tech, higher education, cyber security and logistics. Our clients’ products have been used by brands like Dropbox, Lyft, Microsoft, Nike, Yale University and more.
Last year, we made $700,000 in revenue as a company and are on track to cross $1 million this year. We’re a profitable, bootstrapped company and share our profits with our team. But we try not to take ourselves too seriously. 🙃
Talented back-end developerWe're looking for a talented back-end developer to help take the lead on new projects. We use Django, Postgres and Heroku on most projects but we care more about your talent and willingness to learn than experience with a particular framework.
Willingness to help out with the front-end Because we're a small team working on a wide variety of projects, you’ll have to be comfortable jumping around and learning new skills. You don't have to be a unicorn, but you do need to be willing to step in and help out on the front-end. We typically work with Vue, React and React Native on the front-end.
Excellent communication skills The best developers are great communicators and teammates, not just great programmers. In this position, you’ll eventually take on the role of project lead. This means you’ll communicate directly with the client to help them make product decisions and manage the project.
Ability to balance trade-offs At Krit, you’ll solve challenging technical problems, but you’ll also help clients to build entirely new businesses. We look for people who can balance trade offs and are excited by the impact on the business as much as the technology.
You care about testing and documentationWe want our clients to be successful long term, so we build everything to be able to hand it off at any point. This means good test coverage, continuous integration, clean documentation and lots of comments. It has the added bonus of making it easier for new team members to get up to speed quickly on projects!
We're based in Charleston, but most this is a remote opportunity. We have team members all over!
You’ll be a human, not a number
While we’re not perfect, we are super-passionate about creating a great place to work. We’re striving to build a culture that’s respectful, kind, supportive, and challenging. You won’t just be a number here, you’ll have a measurable impact on the direction of the business.
Working at Krit is like working at a startup without the roller coaster. Or at least a much smaller, more manageable rollercoaster. We have flexible hours, a dog-friendly office (if you’re in Charleston), and good vibes. But we don’t expect you to be here until 10:00 every night. After breaks, meetings and life, we expect everyone to get in about 6 billable hours in a day. We don’t have unlimited vacation, because we want to make sure you actually use your vacation days.
You’ll be a part of an inclusive, transparent company
One of our goals is to build a more diverse company. To us, this means diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and national origin. We strongly believe in building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe and invited. We are also a fully transparent company. We share our finances, salaries, pipeline and more.
