Job Title: Full-stack Developer
Posted by: Tofugu
Location: Remote
Contract: Full-time
Here’s a JET-relevant job passed along to us:
Tofugu is looking for a full-time full-stack developer to help maintain and build features for WaniKani (our kanji learning application) and Tofugu (our blog). “Full Stack” can mean a lot of things, but we are looking to hire someone who leans slightly towards the “front-end” spectrum of “full-stack,” has a high level of proficiency in Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and loves working in a team environment.
As a generalist, you have deep-but-not-as-deep experience with various front-end technologies and languages, and a working knowledge of how to make it appear as a working website on the internet. Your experience and abilities should be at a level where you can immediately make contributions and take ownership of projects.

Thanks to JET alum, Jennifer Kim (Nara-ken) for passing along this job opportunity:
Tofugu is seeking a remote part-time Customer Support Specialist to provide customer support for its Japanese language learning properties – Tofugu and Wanikani.

During onboarding, the specialist will be working closely with the lead on the west coast. The role is remote, but you must be based in a North American timezone.
