About our stack:

Everything's up for debate but we want to leave you with a good idea of what tools we are using today. While keeping our current tool box up to date we are open minded about trying new technologies and ideas that may better fit our needs.

At the highest level our Ruby on Rails backend is hosted in AWS with our Angular frontend being served through a CDN. We process tasks asynchronously and leverage a frontend cache to help reduce network calls against our GraphQL APIs. Our Data Science team works off of a data lake pulling dataframes into python for reporting and analytics.

This is the general idea and we’re happy to jump into all the details with you!

Desired skills and experience:

• We are using the most recent versions of Angular and Rails which means we hope you’ve had strong experience in validating and debugging single page applications and apps following the MVC pattern.

• We value collaboration with a mix of live and async communication approaches which requires effective written and verbal communication skills. You should be able to document and explain technical topics that are able to be digested by non-technical audiences.

• You have experience building things in a high-level language (Java Ruby JavaScript Python C# etc) and can effectively contribute to automated test suites using modern testing frameworks.

• We often have more opportunities than bandwidth and you should be able to effectively prioritize where your efforts will have the most impact.

• You are customer and product focused and have a proven ability to identify changes to workflows that will have the most impact on business metrics.

How we work:

We use scrum to organize into delivery teams which are autonomous and responsible for holistically delivery features and pilots to our users. Our teams include fullstack frontend and backend engineers. We round out the team with a dedicated Scrum Master and Product Owner. These teams operate on a two-week sprint.

Additionally we have DevOps and Data Science teams providing support and insight across team functions.
