We’re looking for people with a strong background or interest in building successful products. You’ll be happy dealing with systems that involve many moving pieces.

• Possess a deep understanding of what it takes to maintain high standards of software quality, including effective QA processes, writing high-quality code, following best practices, and adhering to established industry standards. Ensure cross team collaboration by working with our frontend engineers to build features that users love to use
• Work with our product team to reliably spec out and refine user stories, enabling them to be broken down and quickly delivered to production
• Confidently debug complex production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
• Be focussed and able to prioritise tasks and not get distracted by unimportant details
• Set direction from a technical architecture point of view on projects and make
• pragmatic decisions if projects need to be redirected or scaled back

Experience And Skills We Look For

• Experience building APIs or as part of a team building dynamic web applications
• Have shown an ability to take on new technologies and languages
• We work mostly in Ruby but this isn’t a prerequisite, we’re more interested in your ability to learn
• Hold yourself and others to a high bar
• Take pride in working on projects through to a successful completion
• Recognise the value of standardised, fully tested code that is delivered in a CI/CD environment

Additional Skills That Would Be Beneficial

• Experience working with AI tools.
• Knowledge of machine learning models

• Competitive salary
• Health insurance for employee & dependants
• Meaningful equity
• Pension Plan
