Sr Ruby on Rails Engineer – Whitespectre

Sr Ruby on Rails Engineer
(Work Remotely from anywhere in the World)

Whitespectre

Job Description:

We are a globally distributed Software Development Consultancy, with offices in Barcelona. We partner closely with our clients to provide long-term embedded expertise as an integral part of their product/engineering team. Our focus is product excellence, Rails platform, and mobile application development.

We are continuing to grow and taking on new projects with our clients/partners. We’re looking to add to our team working on a solidus-based MLM Platform. Across all projects we focus on ensuring our clients get great technical solutions built by teams of smart engineers.

Job Responsibilities & Requirements:

What do we offer?

• Hard technical challenges (you won’t find all the answers on Stack Overflow) where you can take ownership of the solution
• Work as part of a talented, globally distributed, successful team
• A productive and non-frustrating work environment from a focused adherence to our agile/scrum processes (we really believe it helps getting good work done)
• A great working atmosphere where you can share and learn with other smart people – on this and on other projects.
• The best-in-class toolsets: Slack, CI/CD with Docker, etc
• Meetups in our Barcelona offices for our remote folks
• Competitive rates
• A long term working relationship: this project, then others.

You’ll be:

• Working within a fast moving team (working ~11am – 8pm Central European time) of both backend and frontend engineers.
• Building challenging business logic on top of open source Solidus.
• Designing clean APIs and often interfacing with other legacy backend systems.
• Solving hard business logic with elegant software design
• Identifying bottlenecks, using tools to diagnose and refactor code for scale
• Ensuring the robustness, performance and failure characteristics of the system.
• Writing well tested (rspec), defect-free code with CI/CD
• Taking ownership of production applications – managing issues, releases and ensuring quality

Good English verbal and written communication skills are essential. This is a contract position with a long term outlook (12 months+ full-time project) for the right candidate. We are looking for remote workers (most of the company is remote) or have openings based in our Barcelona office.

Benefits:

Why is it good to work with us?

• We know that big ideas and big results only happen when you have the right people, working together smartly – whether that’s across the room or across the globe.  We make the work fun and rewarding.
• Because we work on cool projects. Sure, we can list the latest set of technologies that we use, but that is a given. What’s more interesting is how they are used – the design, the architecture, the approach to solving business problems. And we do that across multiple clients – each and everyone we’re excited to work with.
• Because we believe in constant learning and exploring – whether that’s a new skill, a new role, or a new way of seeing.  And because we’ve found that we learn the most when we take on new challenges as a team.  We’re proud that people love working with us (and still have lives outside of work).
