Requirements
• Skilled in architecting and sustaining complex, production-grade web applications. • Strong backend product engineering skills; front-end experience is a plus but not required. • Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web development practices. • Demonstrated ability to lead major initiatives or mentor and direct engineering teams. • Experience collaborating with PMs and Designers to make key product decisions • We move fast, balance shortcuts with depth, and stay energized by talking to users. If you’re a user-driven, scrappy builder who cares deeply about crafting great products and isn’t afraid to dive into unfamiliar parts of the codebase to get things done, you’ll love working with us! You’ll thrive in an autonomous, communicative and ego-less environment, and bring strong-but-flexible opinions—and your authentic self—to the team every day. • If you’re excited about Rally and this role but don’t meet every requirement, we’d still encourage you to apply! We’re interested in what you can do, not just what you’ve done. • How we work • Rally is a remote‑first company with teammates across the US and Canada. We default to async communication, use clear written documentation to keep everyone in the loop, and reserve meetings for collaboration, decision‑making, and relationship building. • Remote‑first: Work from anywhere in the US, with core collaboration hours that overlap across US time zones. • In‑person connection: We bring people together for periodic team or company on-sites to build relationships, do deep‑dive strategy work, and celebrate wins. • High ownership: You’ll have real responsibility from day one and a lot of trust to figure out the best way to get to outcomes. • Customer‑driven: We talk to users constantly and use those insights to drive decisions across Product, Design, Engineering, and Go‑To‑Market. • AI‑native: We're building an AI‑native product and operating like one internally. We expect everyone at Rally to be actively experimenting with AI tools, challenging how they work, and finding ways to move faster. • Fullstack Typescript • React (Next.js) • Our hiring process • Our hiring process • While the exact steps can vary by role, here’s what you can generally expect: • Initial conversation: A call with our recruiting team to learn more about your background and share more about Rally. • Hiring manager interview: A deeper conversation about the role, your experience, and what success looks like in the first 6–12 months with our Co-Founder & CTO Alec. • Technical coding challenge: problem solving exercise with two different engineers. Our coding exercises will be based on challenging real world product problems rather than leetcode like questions. You'll be expected to use Javascript/Typescript to work across both the frontend and backend (API and DB level). • Team and cross functional conversations: Time with leadership and key partners to answer your remaining questions. • We’ll share details at each stage so you know what’s coming and how to prepare! • Rally strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity across our team. Our salary ranges are based on competitive market data for our size, stage, and industry, and may adjust over time as the market evolves.
