ReciPal (https://www.recipal.com) | Founding Rails/Full Stack Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time

We are hiring a full-time engineer who can hopefully be a technical stakeholder and business partner.

ReciPal is a profitable, growing, bootstrapped, and (have always been a) fully remote company (based in New York) with just about 4 full-time employees. We make simple software for food businesses - nutrition analysis and labeling, costing, and inventory management.

You'd be working directly with me, solo founder, and our senior engineer and hopefully take on a growing role over time to potentially lead engineering and become a business partner. It's a very low key work environment, but independent and plenty of responsibility and ownership for the right person.

Stack includes Rails 7, JavaScript, Postgres, Heroku.

I’m absolutely underqualified, but really, really love the unpretentiousness of the format.

You guys sound like really nice people.


Thanks for the comment, glad it resonated with some folks! Underqualified, overqualified, we'll take a look if you want to send us an email.


Are you guys open to python experience or is it strictly ruby?


Sorry for the super delayed reply, didn't expect questions/comments, so just checking this a week later! It's not strictly ruby if you're comfortable adopting another language/framework and are otherwise a great fit for the role.


No worries! HN does not have the best notifications for responses. Similarly, I'm responding fairly late(funny how that happens).

I see you guys have closed off candidates in your job posting. You all do seem like a lovely crowd. I myself am a bit too junior(though not inexperienced) to be a founding/senior member(I read the job title incorrectly the first time), but if you guys end up opening another position, I would definitely love to apply.
