We are looking for a Ruby developer. You’ll spend most of your time turning tickets into a well-engineered, fully implemented feature in our monolith (and occasionally updating or creating microservices). 

In addition, you’ll be doing a lot of empathetic, clear, and frequent communication, reducing technical debt, increasing test coverage, sharing your experience with the team, and growing from others’ experiences. During that process, we expect that you will take the initiative to leave the code better than you found it.

Developers on our teamwork under the direction of our “4-squad” -- CTO, Scrum Facilitator, Product Manager, and Tech Lead -- and often pair with another developer, one of the 4-squad, or our QA. Collaboration is a strong part of our engineering culture, so strong interpersonal and technical communication is essential, as is a willingness to find a middle-ground between engineering excellence and business needs. We look for a commitment to solving problems together, sophisticated design thinking, an interest in building quality products, and creating business value.
