As an engineer what we hope you strive for:

• The ability to work independently and with other engineers to develop new user experience-focused web applications, or provide support for existing systems.


• Have the ability to work on multiple parts of a web application, from internal backend APIs to dynamic frontend interfaces. Although this position is focused on the backend and infrastructure a familiarity with frontend technologies (React and Ember) is a definitive bonus.


• Collaborate with other engineers, stakeholders, clients, designers, and frontend specialists to understand business goals, analyze requirements, formulate solutions, and ensure the successful execution and delivery of the end product using the best technologies.


• Assist in scoping, estimating, and planning of projects.


• Support of production applications. Our teams are feature-based and are fully responsible for designing, developing, launching, and supporting their given feature.

• Senior-level experience developing web applications and APIs. We have multiple applications written in Ruby (both Sinatra and Rails), but our core applications are currently being rewritten in Elixir (Phoenix).


• Senior-level experience using AWS and other infrastructure services, specifically Docker, Kubernetes, RDBMSs (MySQL + PostgreSQL), NoSQL DBs, and Git.


• Excellent planning, communication and collaboration skills.


• Understanding of best practices for web development and software design.

• Prior experience developing internal tools, such as internal metrics or reporting.


• Prior experience in developing single page applications. We use Ember.js, but we are migrating to React.


• Experience with GraphQL, Data Dog and Terraform all pluses, but not required


• Previous remote working experience


• Prior client services, consulting, or freelancing experience


• Working in a startup environment


• Previous role as a team leader


• Working on web applications that process large volumes of data and/or receive high volumes of traffic
