Our development team is comprised of people with a variety of degrees and professional backgrounds—graphic design, materials science, or philosophy majors who come from traditional software engineering or creative coding. As a developer at Fathom, you’ll work with complicated data sets, create prototypes, iterate on tools, and optimize user experience across devices. You also have an appreciation for design, clarity, and accessibility, and you recognize the importance of collaboration.

For this role, we‘re looking for a background in front-end web development (building applications in HTML/CSS/JavaScript from scratch). Additional experience deploying on AWS, server-side development (Python and Flask in particular), graphics coding, or statistics/machine learning is beneficial but not necessary.

If you’re applying as a senior developer, you should have experience mentoring a team, strategic awareness of how to best apply effort, and considerable practice with shipping projects of various sizes for a wide range of audiences.

If you’re applying as a junior developer, you should have a fascination for the why and how, and be open to learning about new ways of working and the people you‘re working with. We‘re looking for you to share your distinct experiences and perspectives as you grow with the team. Candidates for this role should be local or willing to relocate to the Boston area.
