About The Role

This role is for the entrepreneurial software engineer who thrives on building customer-focused solutions that drive real business impact. You will develop and maintain features within our Rails platform, leveraging modern tools including AI to enhance productivity and create exceptional user experiences. Beyond traditional development, you'll take ownership of features from conception through post-launch optimization, working closely with cross-functional teams to translate customer needs into scalable technical solutions. Quarterly innovation weeks give engineers dedicated time to bring your most innovative feature ideas to life. If you wish to join a talented, passionate team whose kindness and authenticity will help you grow at the forefront of customer-focused technology, apply so we can start our conversation today!

  • Leverage modern development tools and AI-assisted workflows (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to improve productivity and code quality. Integrate third-party APIs, evaluate emerging technologies, and implement automation to accelerate delivery.
  • Implement monitoring, analytics, and performance optimizations to ensure feature success and system reliability. Improve scalability through database tuning, caching strategies, and faster API response times.
  • Strengthen team knowledge-sharing and growth through knowledge transfers, pairing, technical write-ups, and ongoing learning initiatives.

  • Leverages AI-powered development tools effectively and tracks emerging AI capabilities to drive productivity and innovation
  • Uses Entrepreneurial mindset to test ideas quickly, deliver value early, and improve solutions through ongoing feedback
  • Ensures code quality through unit and integration testing and maintains robust CI/CD practices
  • Own the end-to-end quality of our stack. You’ll optimize data performance, push for 90%+ test coverage, and keep our codebase lean and developer-friendly

What Can Help Your Application Stand Out:

  • Advanced PostgreSQL skills including performance tuning and query optimization.
