We're bringing the repair world into the 21st century, one cutting-edge feature at a time.

Our mission at iFixit is to empower people to control their own hardware. If this excites you, drop us a line by sending us a portfolio of code or links to online projects you have worked on. We want to see what you're enthusiastic about. We're open to people with either front-end or back-end experience.

Working for a small company on a tight-knit team is a chance to manifest your creativity in a way that will make a big difference in the final product. This will be a challenging and equally rewarding, job. If you want to work your butt off and make incredible software with us, please apply.

Like open source? Great - so do we.

This position is part-time during school and full time during summer.

We'd like to see applicants that:

• Are passionate about writing good code.
• Care deeply about intuitive user interface design.
• Recognize that the best software development is social.
• Are self-motivated and work well in a small, tight-knit team environment.
• Have some web front end experience.

To apply: Make a PDF of your resume, as well as a short cover letter explaining two things: why you're badass, and why you're the ideal candidate for this job.

Preferred Qualifications

• Solid experience writing large applications in dynamically typed languages.
• Some experience working on / maintaining MySQL, PostgreSQL or other similar databases.
• Strong understanding of cloud based server architectures (Amazon AWS experience a plus)

Our software team makes teaching people to fix things easy, and connects people with the information, tools, and parts they need to fix anything. We've built a multi-lingual content management system, e-commerce engine, and reputation-based Q&A service. Our stack is written primarily in highly structured PHP and React, backed by MySQL and served by httpd, Varnish, and HAProxy, with metrics stored in Graphite and Datadog, process queueing using beanstalkd, and running on Fedora Amazon EC2 instances. Experience with any of these technologies is a plus.
