About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Developer experienced with Ruby-on-Rails to help us solve tough problems and think up innovative new solutions, based on software development best practices and a drive to be the best you can be. You will work on customer- and admin-facing products, third-party integrations (both canned and bespoke), and help architect the system toward greater flexibility, reliability, and scale.

Responsibilities

• Creative problem-solving for key development and engineering issues, including full understanding of the root cause with the ability to leverage data to back up assertions.
• Building, maintaining, and architecting core web and mobile applications.
• Integrating with and maintaining third-party tools and services.
• Participating in our agile development process: sprint planning, story grooming, and stand-ups.
• Collaborating extensively with other departments, particularly Product, Customer Care, and Finance, on product issues and implementing new features.
• Adhering to SDLC and secure coding practices and environment.
• Collaborating with the development team via pull request reviews, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and pairing on complex stories.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on Ruby on Rails experience with production applications.
• Experience solving issues around scale, concurrency, queuing, background processing, and efficient ingestion of third-party data.
• Mastery of fundamentals: SOLID coding principles, domain-driven design, performant code and queries, unit and integration testing.
• Ability to build quick when we need to experiment and build clean when MVP becomes core functionality.
• Strong SQL and data analysis skills and an eagerness to dig into data as part of problem-solving.
• Full stack mentality—every developer owns their features from back end to front end code, automated and real-life testing, demos, and delivery.
• Experience with agile development, sprints, and scrum.
• Proficiency with standard tools like Git, GitHub, Jira, and an editor of your choice.
