• Ensure code is well‑tested and well‑architected
• Actively improve our tools, processes and best practices

What you’ll have

• You have a strong technical background and experience building production web applications
• Strong experience as a full stack or backend developer with Ruby (Rails experience is a bonus)
• You understand how to write, analyze and optimize SQL queries (PostgreSQL is a plus)
• You are customer‑focused and like to pay attention to detail and value quality
• You have experience building Ruby on Rails applications and APIs
