This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has a passion for building leading-edge software and is driven to help build a successful SaaS product used by thousands of happy businesses. We foster an environment that empowers small teams to set the technical direction of our solutions collaboratively.     
      
     
Responsibilities:     
  • Become a master of your software engineering craft, and work with other software engineers who are smart enough to teach you, and humble enough to learn from you.     
  • Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems for our customers.     
  • Formulate, implement, and evaluate algorithms and database queries to support SaaS scalability and stability.

You know you’re the right fit if…     
  • You’ve worked with Ruby on Rails in a production environment. You may even know enough about Javascript and React to have opinions about how frequently "the new hot thing" changes.   
  • You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of using something old if it still does everything you need it to do.     
  • You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.     
  • You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.     
     
      
Additional Skills and Knowledge:     
  • Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related technical discipline     
  • Hands-on work/internship experience developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment
