Hi there,<p>We&#x27;re Lawn Love, a new type of lawn care service. We bring software and data (truckloads of data!) to the sprawling, low-tech lawn care market. We’re hiring experienced full-stack engineers to help us reinvent this $83B&#x2F;year industry.<p>Our platform connects hundreds of thousands of lawn-havers with independent gardeners all across the country. We’re currently operating in 100+ cities across 38 states, and are growing quickly.<p>Your role<p>- You’ll be writing PHP (and lots of it!), with plenty of backing SQL and Javascript.<p>- Turn ideas into finished products, for both internal and external use. Front-end? Back-end? You’re all-in.<p>- Own those new products! As an early hire, you’re helping define our engineering culture and will work directly with your peers to tune the engineering machine.<p>- Future-proof your new code with unit and acceptance tests.<p>Our stack + engineering culture<p>- React Native phone apps.<p>- Running in AWS, using OpsWorks for one-click deployments straight from Github.<p>- Deep integrations with Twilio, Sendgrid, and Customer.io - Using a lean process (kanban) in Jira to manage the pipeline of new projects (scrum masters? who needs ‘em!).<p>- Huge fans of continuous integration, one-idea-per-commit, and feature flag philosophies.<p>Why modernize lawn care?<p>Lawn Love solves problems for both lawn care consumers (anyone with grass, shrubs, or xeriscaping) and the pros doing the work. We&#x27;ve brought a suite of 21st century services to lawn care, including: Online quoting, scheduling, and payments; quantitative analyses to ensure consumers get a great lawn pro, every time; and job routing and clustering algorithms that increase pros&#x27; route density and help them earn more money.<p>Our company<p>- We&#x27;re both well-funded and profitable.<p>- Looking for personal development? Our growth has been explosive, with each month bringing new challenges as we scale.<p>- We&#x27;re here to work hard, have fun, and make history. Our goal is to build the largest high-tech lawn service on the planet.<p>The benefits<p>- Unmetered vacation, full health coverage, weekly catered lunches, snacks, a relaxed working environment, and real work&#x2F;life balance.<p>- Significant equity. When we say you’ll be an “owner”, we mean that not just in the metaphorical sense.<p>Our requirements<p>- You have at least a few years of real-world experience building and maintaining large codebases (complex business logic experience a plus!)<p>- You can gin up a web page using HTML, modern CSS, and Javascript. PHP-specific experience preferred, but not required.<p>- You aren’t afraid of SQL queries<p>- You value results over perfection!<p>- You tolerate a good #dadjoke<p>- You live in (or want to move to!) beautiful San Diego.
