Site Reliability Engineer (DevOps)

ShapeShift is seeking a Software Engineer to design and build features into ShapeShift products. The Software Engineer will be working in a number of code repositories, using some combination of JavaScript (Node.js and React) and Python. Engineers work in small cross-functional teams, and experience a lot of variety, while still having opportunity to develop expertise in areas of interest. The ideal candidate will thrive in a development environment where engineers find creative solutions inside of a standard framework. Standards are constantly iterated on as the crypto-currency environment is in a high state of flux, and development best practices evolve. This position offers a unique opportunity to build the next generation of crypto tools for customer financial sovereignty.
 This is a full-time, exempt position, and reports to the Engineering Manager.
