Software Engineer

The software behind Library of Code is built by volunteers. You’ll work on real code that real people use: our Discord bots, the web apps our staff and members sign in to, and the internal tools that keep our services running.

What You’ll Do

• Pick up issues in our GitLab, write the code, and open merge requests
• Review other people’s merge requests, and have yours reviewed
• Fix bugs, write tests, and keep dependencies up to date
• Patch and maintain the servers our services run on
• Write down how things work so the next person can pick them up

What We’re Looking For

• You can write code in at least one language. Most of ours is TypeScript, so TypeScript or JavaScript experience helps.
• You know Git, or you’re willing to learn it quickly
• You can work on your own, ask questions in writing, and finish what you pick up
• You’re kind in code review, giving and receiving

Levels

You don’t need to pick a level. We’ll place you after we talk.

Level	What it looks like
Software Engineer I	You’re early on. You take well-scoped tasks and ship them with help and review.
Software Engineer II	You take a feature from start to finish on your own and review others’ work.
Senior Software Engineer	You own part of a system, plan larger changes, and help others grow.

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll report to Calum, our Manager of Software Engineering. Meet them and the rest of our team on our Leadership page.
