PickBoard | Remote | Full time

The job in one line

You will be the third engineer at a company building the social network for smarter investing, and you will own product surfaces end to end from your first month.

Why this role exists
PickBoard makes the best free investing content easy to find, follow, and discuss in one place. Creators and financial publishers claim a profile, connect their sources, and keep the audience they built. Readers get one feed instead of ten tabs.

Two engineers carry the codebase today. You are the third. That is a fifty percent increase in build capacity, which means two things: the bar is high, and nothing you build will be busywork. Features you ship will be in front of users and publishers within the quarter.

What you will own
Backend. Features in PHP 8.1 and Laravel 8. Database models, migrations, queries, and the performance of both. Queues for ingestion work that cannot run inline.

Frontend. Interactive experiences in Vue.js 2 with Vuex and Vue Router. Feeds that stay fast on an old phone and a slow network,



because that is what a large share of our users are on.

APIs. Design and consume REST. Every controller serves two paths: JWT for the mobile app, session for the web SPA. Getting that mirroring right is the single highest leverage habit on this team.

Integrations. Stripe, AWS S3, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Alpaca. Webhooks, retries, idempotency, token refresh, and the failure modes nobody sees until money is involved.

Product surfaces. Authentication, user permissions, subscriptions, payments, portfolios, and publishing.

Mobile. Support the iOS application through Capacitor, including the things that work on web and break on device.

Quality. Automated tests with PHPUnit, performance work, troubleshooting, and raising the standard of the code you touch. You will collaborate with product, design, and engineering through Git.
