Desired Skills and Experience
- Writing clean, well thought out and reliable code.
- Lead small, functionally oriented projects containing team members with different skills and levels of knowledge.
- Mentor other devs on the team as needed to improve the team as a whole
- You’ll work on big projects as well as small maintenance tasks that support our business needs.
- We don’t have testers or sysadmins (yet) so you’ll be ensuring your work is production ready and deployed.
- At least five full years experience with Ruby on Rails.
- Extensive understanding of HTML and CSS.
- Good working knowledge of Javascript
- Excellent knowledge of MySQL.
- Strong debugging skills. When something isn’t working, you rise to the challenge and are able to analyze and fix the issue.
- Ability to take ownership of a project, and make it your baby.
- Excellent online communication skills (Slack, email, hangouts).
- Ability to ease yourself into an existing codebase instead of having to always rewrite everything immediately.
- Ability to see the “big picture” and implement solutions that fit into the existing architecture.
- Have strong, self-informed opinions when it matters.
- Ability to mentor less senior devs, and help the team build products efficiently
- AWS Experience (EC2, Kinesis, Redshift, RDS, S3)
- Interest and experience with languages besides ruby. We love ruby/rails, but we want to always use the right tool for the job. In the future we may build services in other languages (such as Elixir/Phoenix!)
- Demonstrated body of work that proves technical expertise and leadership
- Ability to self-regulate priorities and understand trade-offs of various technical implementations
