Senior Rails Developer

What’s the job?

You will be a core member of an expert development team. You will be an active collaborator with a voice in product and technology decisions. You’ll be building features, fixing bugs, improving performance, and discussing product ideas. 

You will not be sitting in endless meetings or wasting time with corporate bureaucracy. This is a small team, working efficiently, trusting each other, building amazing products, and having a great time along the way.

This is a remote and asynchronous position, but still collaborative. We’ll be working together on GitHub and Slack and some virtual discussions in Zoom.
Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for a Rails developer who’s been doing this for several years. You’re able to build complete features independently, provide actionable feedback to others, and welcome critiques to your own code. You recognize the trade-offs between pristine code and code that get the job done. 

You’re fun to work with. You are open-minded with a positive attitude. You assume the best intentions.

English might not be your first language, but you are very fluent in it. You would be comfortable writing documentation or discussing a new feature with the team.

You’re a good communicator. You enjoy writing or drawing out your thought process.

You feel comfortable working both collaboratively and independently.

You enjoy understanding the spirit of a problem and can approach solving it in a non-prescriptive way, offering suggestions and understanding tradeoffs.

You are comfortable with external integrations. We are integrating with external providers that often will require research and digging.
What’s the tech stack?

KODE is a Rails application that is less than a year old. We have been super intentional to make everything super vanilla Rails which has allowed us to keep the codebase clean and organized. 

We use Rails views and for the front-end behavior, we are using Stimulus with some Turbo. Styling is all Tailwind. Background processing is done via Sidekiq.

We are hosted on Heroku which keeps DevOps at a minimum.
Other stuff

Some things are just hard to do asynchronously, so your work day should have some overlap with 8 am-5 pm EDT.
We offer full medical, dental, vision insurance, and 401(k) with company match
