Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby)

Our Tech Stack

• Our stack is a Ruby on Rails backend with React.js and Typescript on the frontend
• We're running Elasticsearch to power our Insights search
• We are fully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS to enable an event-driven service architecture, using Kafka to let services communicate together asynchronously and resiliently
• We are also exploring using Typescript more and more on the backend as well. However, we don't see our Ruby development slowing down anytime soon

You'll be expected to work on everything from the above, but we're not expecting deep knowledge in all of it. We strive to build up everything backed by code and reliable pipelines which will get you on track at lightning speed. We're always open to changes that can make us better!

About you

We're looking for someone with the following skills and qualities:

• 2+ years of experience building backend systems
• Experience with some parts of our tech stack is always welcome (messaging, AWS, k8s, Typescript, SPAs)
• Your code is clean and well tested, you own development from discovery to production deployment
• You love to learn and constantly improve your own skills, and are not afraid to jump into new things
• You like communicating with frontend or product management and you always keep the end-user in mind.
• You could win a debate on tabs vs. spaces conducted entirely in English (we have an international team and are successful at keeping discussions in English)
