Required Skills
Job Description
Come build the integrations that power agentic B2B commerce in hospitality, starting with suppliers
What excites you
• You’re someone who has worked on early-stage teams, perhaps even as a founder, and love wearing multiple hats (to a healthy extent).
• You've seen products come to life from just a spark of an idea, and even if things don't quite pan out, you're motivated by the process of making something from nothing.
• You want to work on software that has real, tangible value to deliver to the people who need it, even if the solution can be basic or 'unsexy' sometimes.
• You're an expert at prioritization and time management who can gracefully adapt to new facts on the fly as you make tradeoffs between customer and business needs.
• You're focused on quality, not quantity. You can distill complex systems in the service of building reliable, maintainable infrastructure that others depend on.
What excites us
• You have 3+ years of hands-on experience as a contributor to teams that have proved they can ship great products.
• You have deep experience building and maintaining web automation systems — whether browser-based scraping, headless automation, or programmatic interaction with third-party supplier websites.
• You think in frameworks, not one-offs. You've built shared infrastructure that makes it easier and faster to add new integrations, and you take pride in the abstractions you create.
• You have strong experience with observability and monitoring — you instrument your systems proactively, set up alerting, and treat reliability as a first-class concern.
• You're comfortable with Node.js and TypeScript, and have a solid grasp of the broader web platform — HTTP, browser internals, async patterns, and the quirks that come with automating real-world websites at scale.
• You have solid object-oriented design and programming skills with experience architecting solutions for complex, distributed, or failure-prone systems.
• You try to give back to the development community as a contributor to Open Source Software projects or other pro-bono avenues.
Working at Folio
• Folio is a Ruby on Rails app with Typescript Node.js automations deployed to AWS.
• Our engineering team meets daily for standup (except Friday) and otherwise keep meetings to a minimum.
• We're a remote-first company. Quarterly, we travel to work together in-person and stay with one of our hotel partners.
• For the most part, we rely on Google Meet, GitHub, Linear, Notion, and Slack to make decisions and get things done day-to-day.
What we value
• Craft. We take pride in our work, find joy in execution, and believe that the best companies are built at a steady yet resilient pace.
• Optimism. We believe in ourselves and each other and know anything is possible with the right amount of hustle and grit.
• Ownership. We love making things better and have a strong sense of shared responsibility over everything we create together.
• Hospitality. The industry we’re building for has a culture of service to others, and we bring that energy to how we work together each day.
