Description
4Patriots is a fast-growing, nationally recognized direct-to-consumer brand focused on offering high-quality products across multiple categories including camping & outdoor, emergency preparedness and health & wellness. The company is powered by an adaptable, results-focused, data-driven team in a culture that empowers great people to do their best work. We are searching for a knowledgeable, mid-level, Full-Stack Developer to join our team.
The Web Developer’s Mission is to create, test, launch, and maintain world-class applications for both internal and external use.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Full-Stack Developer to join a growing company working to mature its technology stack and how it builds scalable software. You consider software development more of a cultural approach than a specific job title and are passionate about clean, scalable APIs; efficient code; microservices; application security; frequent production releases; and building tools that automate mundane, repetitive tasks - changing the way people work for the better. The Full-Stack Developer has the imagination to dream up enterprise-scale solutions, yet enjoys being part of every stage leading up to release.
