Overview:

You’re a Software Engineer / Backend Web Developer who is passionate about learning and building great code. Discover a career designed to be different.

Technologies aside, at Room & Board our Software Engineers / Backend Developers find their work rewarding in the following ways:

We’re using the latest in technology. As a progressive retailer focused on providing first-in-class customer service and design services through our physical stores, virtual design services and robust ecommerce site, our technology stack is a priority and current.
The code is complex. Our product assortment is vast, diverse and often custom, so there’s a lot of depth and complexity in our business requirements and domain. We’re given the autonomy to solve in a creative way and do the best work we can.
Quality is in everything we do. Our "Technical Debt" is low. We believe in doing it right the first time. We take time to go back and fix things before moving on too quickly and refactor old code to make it better.
We’re a peer group of developers who drive technology. We’re not rigid and restricted by hierarchy; we’re fairly flat and work together with the technical freedom to determine what makes the best sense. Our team builds the deadlines based on what it’ll take to do things well.
Workspace that inspires. Our creativity is further fueled by our beautiful work environment - natural light and vegetation, well-designed workspaces, an indoor gym, fitness studio and workout facility.
