• No moonlighting or non-US candidates please - we like being able to collaborate during regular hours.

A Bit About Us

• Lat Long is a digital product development team for clients exploring new frontiers. Our team is partially remote with offices in Brooklyn, NY and Springfield, MO
• Our core focus is building products for people doing exciting things — typically delivering technical solutions and sometimes going beyond to help create the business behind the product.
• Our team has tackled some exciting projects in the past couple of years:
  • Building an immersive storytelling interface for Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke
  • Creating one of the most advanced Gutenberg implementations live today to power Airstream's new retail brand
  • Designing complex CMS tools for do-gooders like the LGBT Center of New York City
  • Home-growing a whole suite of applications to evolve Sostena from a seed company to an AgTech platform.
  • Sometimes we simply customize an off-the-shelf theme to make small budgets reach as far as the dreams of explorers like Blue Marble Exploration.
• Our site and recent projects can be found here: https://latlo.ng

What will you be doing day to day?

• This project is specifically focused on building an education-focused platform for administering creating student rosters, assigning various assessments and reviewing the results of those assessments.
  • It is being created using the AWS Amplify Framework
  • You will be a part of a small team, including an in-place full stack tech lead. However, the lead is scheduled to depart the project in early November, so we are looking for someone comfortable acting as tech lead for an interim basis
  • Development is underway with early architectural decisions in place, UI is being developed and use cases/user stories in an advanced state.
• Creating GraphQL APIs and the services/infrastructure to support them
