I’m the Director of Engineering at Farmgirl Flowers, an online flower shop with a loyal customer base. We're looking for a product-minded engineer who can own projects end-to-end and keep things simple, safe, and maintainable.
We're a small team of three, so communication is fast and your impact will be immediately visible. We value pragmatism over "perfect" - shipping useful solutions matters more than polishing forever.
Stack: Rails 8, MySQL, Heroku, AWS, a little React -> moving toward Hotwire.

Hi, can i apply since i can work in those timezones but i am not based in those locations.
Also, i tried visiting the website but it says "Unfortunately Farmgirl Flowers is not available in your country."
Is there a reason you have a full on dev team and use React instead of just wordpress/squarespace? What product needs prompted building it all yourself?
Also holy cow the homepage was 50mb and took 12s to load. No offense but that is kind of nuts. Consider lazy loading everything below the fold instead of just ramming 50mb of media through at the same time.
Thanks for the question, there are things related to shipping routing, custom packages handling and ops related requirements that were easier to do using custom app than Wordpress/Squarespace. There is always a trade-off to make here and the decision was made to go with custom app (which is our platform that evolved over last 10 years).
Thanks for pointing out media loading times, half of that bandwidth is related to the video we show on the home page, we plan to optimise a lot of things that were pushed "for later" before upcoming Valentines Day.
