CI/CD: CircleCI for testing & deployment
Media Processing: LivePeer for video transcoding

How We Work (Shape Up Methodology)

At TribeSocial, we don’t follow traditional Agile, Scrum, or Kanban. Instead, we use Shape Up by 37 Signals:

Fixed Time, Variable Scope – We work in monthly cycles with clear priorities.
Shaping – Projects are clearly defined before they hit development.
Team of 1 – No micromanagement; you decide how to execute.
Pair Project Management – You’ll collaborate with teammates to solve problems effectively.
Async First – We value documentation and async comms, with virtual calls reserved for problem-solving and pair coding.

What You’ll Do

Build and scale features across frontend, backend, and mobile
Take ownership of well-shaped problems and deliver solutions independently
Collaborate through async communication (writing and video-first)
Participate in shaping, coding sessions, and working meetings
Contribute to creating a robust, scalable social infrastructure

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience in Full-Stack JavaScript development
Comfortable with React.js, Node.js, MySQL, TailwindCSS
Experience working independently on projects with defined scopes
A builder’s mindset—problem-solving, not just coding
Clear communication skills (written and video)

Our Application Process

Submit application
Async email interview
25-min intro video call
90-min code review call
Paid trial project ($50/hr × 25 hrs)

Pro tip: Written and recorded video communication is our primary form of collaboration—leverage that to stand out!
