ClubLISI

We are on a mission to bring 100% customized, digital membership experiences to the club industry - something that no other club software company offers. ClubLISI is built around the concept that every club is different and has its own personality. The websites and software we develop, as well as integrations we provide with our valued partners, provide every club’s membership with their own, unique web and app experience. Unlike other, large, one-size-fits-none providers, we never tell our clients “we can’t do that for you”. Our company is composed of go-getter project managers, designers, and developers that work together remotely with respect, efficiency, and the same core ideal - to provide our clients with exceptional, concierge-style service.

Company Values

• Customization
• Innovation
• Nimbleness
• Over-delivering

  • Clearly articulate problem and solution statements
  • Document
  • Disagree respectfully, challenge thoughtfully
• Attention to detail
• Must enjoy learning (and be able to take time to learn on the job)

• HTTP (really - headers, and stuff)

Preferred Skills

• Nuxt.js/Vue
• TypeORM
• Digital Ocean
• WebSockets

Bonus Skills

• Python

We prefer excellency in one or two areas rather than mere proficiency in many areas.

Work Environment

You’ll work remotely and report to our lead developer, Micheal. You are expected to be in communication with Micheal, as well as our project director (Arielle), to answer questions and give updates between the hours of 10am and 6pm Eastern Time.

You can run Mac, Linux, or Windows+WSL, but you need to be able to use the command line.

Responsibilities

Based on your specialty, you’ll be assigned tasks that either pertain to the front-end of the client’s website or the backend and its modules. Each task should be completed in a timely manner, following the processes set forth by Micheal, and self-checked/tested before submitting for approval.

Your First…

Week

You’ll begin on an hourly basis (with the possibility of being moved to a retainer position) so we can get a feel for working with you and make sure we it’s a good fit. You’ll be:

• Onboarding
• Learning
• Completing trial tasks and participating in code reviews

Month

Assuming all goes well, we’ll give open up more tasks for you and ramp up your hours.

Year

We want you to develop excellence in as few areas of expertise as you can stand, and help us make our product absolutely the best in those areas. 🏅

Ideally we’d like to help you get the training and growth that you need so that we can bring you on retainer and slowly be able to pay you more as the product progresses and the clientele grows.
