Full Stack Dev
We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join us at Nearcut. You will join a small team dedicated to building impactful and maintainable software. No day will be the same — you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of tasks across the business. Your opinions and ideas will shape our tech stack.
As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you will collaborate closely with our technical founder and development team. Your work will impact millions of customers and help us continue to expand across Europe. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality and fully tested features.
Our product is built on Ruby on Rails. Our stack includes RSpec, MySQL, Docker Compose, Rubocop and Stimulus. We build software the Rails way and are not concerned with the latest JS framework craze. Currently, we use Ruby 2.7 and Rails 6.0. Five years ago we adopted Test Driven Development in all of our work and our test suite covers around 95% of our code base, keeping bugs to an absolute minimum and allowing us to focus on new features. We have built our own component system using Github’s View Component gem. When it comes to CSS, we use BEM.
Job Responsibilities
Implement and deploy new features, using TDD and refactoring your work to meet best practices
Review tests and refactor sub-standard code as you come across it
Implement new View Components using HTML/CSS/Stimulus
Review PRs from your colleagues across different parts of the product
Embrace and adopt the company’s style of writing Rails apps (trust us, it works)
Offer feedback on code reviews to help others to improve
Iterate and tailor your work based on feedback from customers and colleagues
Plan your implementation approach before starting to code
Investigate and fix bugs as they are reported (with a strong test suite, these are rare for us!)
You can be available for some calls between 10:00 – 14:00 UTC

You have at least 7 years of professional software development experience in Ruby on Rails

You don’t like React

You enjoy learning new skills and tackling different technical challenges
You are attentive to problems and want to help customers succeed
You have experience working in startups
