– You have been the primary owner/developer of several components or features.
– You have strong development principles, including experience with testing and TDD, object-oriented design, and higher-level system design.

– You have worked directly with non-devs (designers, PMs, user researchers, etc.) to ship great products.
– You believe in the value of mentorship, and in a teaching and learning culture.
– You want to grow, and you’re constantly finding small ways to improve all the work you and your teammates do.
– You are passionate about building using Agile and Lean methodologies.
Ideally, you’d have:
– Contributed to or maintained open-source projects (Send us your GitHub profile!).
– Experience transforming large Rails apps into a service-oriented or microservice architecture.
– Strong focus on the people who use your software, even when it makes things harder.
About the team:
– We mostly run Ruby on Rails, and have brought in technologies like Elixir, Node, and Rust.
– We’re open to using the right technologies for what we build.
– We iterate quickly and ship multiple times a day.
– We’re running an entirely dockerized deployment system, and we’re always making improvements to help our teams ship safer, and more quickly.
– We work in small, distributed teams with product managers and designers and help shape the products we build.
– We have a strong tradition of supporting open source software. resque_scheduler, robut, resque_unit, and JSON API client were all extracted from our codebase, and we've contributed patches back to Rails.
