Job Description
Job Opportunity: Full-Stack Web Application Developer with Altimate Outdoor in Glandorf, OH HQ + Powell showroom (hybrid / mostly remote) In 1982, Steve and Jane Alt started a small spouting company in Glandorf, Ohio, on a simple idea: honest work, done with integrity, was worth building a life around. Forty-plus years later, that company is Altimate Outdoor — and what started in spouting has grown into one of Ohio's premier outdoor living builders. StruXure pergolas, custom cabanas, outdoor kitchens, MagnaTrack retractable screens, screened-in patios. Ross and Jill Alt carry that legacy forward today, openly rooted in their Christian faith and the belief that every person — every craftsman, every designer, every team member, every family we serve — deserves to be treated that way. We have two 2026 company-wide goals that say it plainly: execute our technology strategy and execute our company-wide AI strategy. We can't do either without the right person owning the software side of the business. We're hiring our first full-time, in-house developer to own our internal and customer-facing web applications. Not someone who lights up about AI prompts and calls it engineering. We serve with integrity and dedication, with optimism, persistently. You serve the team before you serve yourself. You build for the designer who has to live in the screen all day, not for the architecture diagram that looks good in a portfolio. You ship code you'd be proud to put your name on whether anyone reads it or not. You don't quietly cut corners. You bring your best on the days no one's watching. You finish the install before you leave the site. When a deploy breaks or a project goes sideways, your default is "here's what we're going to do," not "here's why this happened." Apply that to software and you've got the job description in one sentence. You'll own the web applications our team relies on every single day — sales, designers, installers, operations, leadership, and eventually our customers. That includes our CRM-style internal system, the integrations that pull leads in from our website, dealer networks, Google, Houzz, Angi, and the rest, the dashboards leadership uses to make decisions, and the AI-driven workflows we're going to build to keep our team focused on customers instead of paperwork. Shipping a feature that takes twenty clicks a day off a designer's quote workflow so it's done before the team logs in — because you know better than to break Monday morning lead intake Writing a one-pager explaining the tradeoffs on a build-vs-buy decision so leadership can actually make it You've shipped real production software that real people depend on, and you've been on the hook when it broke You use AI coding tools because they make you faster, but you can also tell us exactly where you don't trust them You've built internal tools, CRMs, dashboards, scheduling apps, or anything else real operators use to run a real business — bonus if it was for a contractor, home services, or remodeling business Bonus on top of bonus: you've worked inside an EOS shop and know what an L10, a Rock, IDS, and an Accountability Chart actually feel like Your portfolio is mostly demos, tutorials, or AI-generated prototypes you've never had to support after launch You'd describe yourself as "more of a frontend person" or "more of a backend person" — we need someone comfortable everywhere You're looking for a place to coast for two years and put a logo on a resume You should be solid on most of this and confident across the front end and back end: Front end: JavaScript/TypeScript, plus React, js, Vue, or equivalent Back end: Node.js, Python (Django/FastAPI), C#/.NET, PHP/Laravel, Ruby on Rails, or equivalent — pick your weapon, just be good with it Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server. You can write SQL without a GUI helping you Cloud and deploys: AWS (preferred) or comparable, Git, CI/CD, real production deployment experience including the part where things go wrong APIs, webhooks, and the messy reality of connecting CRMs, schedulers, email/SMS, and the tool the marketing team picked without asking you AI-assisted coding and AI workflows: Claude, Cursor, or Copilot for development speed — and real opinions about how to use AI in the business, not just the IDE Bonus points for: AWS specifically, prior internal-tools or CRM build experience, integrations with contractor / remodeling / home services platforms (MarketSharp, JobNimbus, Improveit 360, ServiceTitan, Jobber, HubSpot, etc.), Google Local Services / Houzz / Angi lead pipelines, rollback discipline, and ever having migrated a business off an existing CRM without burning the office down. The technology strategy goal on our 2026 plan ships, and leadership feels real progress on it We have a working, opinionated company-wide AI strategy that removes meaningful work from our team's plates We have source control, environments, deployment discipline,
