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.
