Who we are
At Trunk Club, we're building the future of retail, enabled through technology. Come talk to us if you?re interested in creating scalable applications that create amazing user experiences for both internal and external customers.

This position is full-time at Trunk Club HQ in Chicago, IL.
How we work
We are a rapidly growing team of smart and passionate engineers. We like people who think independently and feel comfortable helping to drive the direction of the products they work on. We?re not tied to a particular technology or solution ? that?s what you bring.
We pair - We frequently pair program. We work at pairing stations - two keyboards, two monitors, one mind. We work in an open team room; no cubicles or private offices. We believe software development is a collaborative process, where communication is key.
We work with agility - "Agile" means a lot of different things to different people these days, and quite frankly doesn't hold much weight at face value. We don?t believe in following a process for process? sake. We ship frequently and focus on delivering incremental value ? day by day, week by week, we make the company better.
Most importantly, we value our people - We spend time regularly working on whatever we?re interested in. We invest in our people by creating opportunities that combine our interests with what the company needs. We have lunch-and-learns, hack days, team outings, and encourage personal learning projects. Oh yeah, and we?ve got a forty-foot long bar.
Who you are
We want developers that have a keen business sense and an entrepreneurial attitude. We work directly with the business to build solutions that solve real problems and want developers that can thrive in an environment where you?re in the driver?s seat to create something amazing.
The job involves the following responsibilities:
Build robust and scalable software in Ruby and/or JavaScript
Design and create services and system architecture
Help improve our code quality through writing unit tests, automation and performing code reviews
Work with the product and design teams to understand end-user requirements, formulate use cases, and then translate that into a pragmatic and effective technical solution
Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute ideas to our technology, algorithms and products
Interested?
You should reconsider if this is the right role if:
You'd feel like a fish out of water without a well-defined traditional corporate structure
You'd consider taking out the trash as being below you
You're accustomed to using the phrase "it's not part of my job description"
You'll be successful in this role if:
You?ve got a ton of experience but are willing to continue to grow and learn on the job
You're a closer - not a manager, a coordinator, or an idea person - but someone who loves to get stuff done, and done well (done means in production)
You are a ?go-to? person because you're reliable, creative, resourceful, a good decision maker, and generally one of the most capable people amongst your peers
You're articulate, persuasive, and a good listener
Your friends and former employers would gush about you and your awesomeness
