Experienced Rails Engineer, Silverfin

• You’re experienced in both Ruby and Rails, and also understand where the boundaries lie between them
• You can code in Ruby without any of Rails’ training wheels if necessary
• You can start soon - our project is ramping up, so we can use your help as soon as possible
• You know and can apply best practices when relevant. That means the usual like version control, testing, and refactoring; but also higher level concepts such as good object oriented design
• You're aware of the trade-offs involved in proper engineering and can make balanced business decisions, keeping in mind all the stakeholders of the project
• You have at least 5 years of experience working with Ruby, or 3 years of experience with Ruby and 4 years in one or more other programming languages
• You get Rails
• Your work hours have some overlap with EU business hours (we require your local timezone to be within CET +/- 3h)
• You can communicate clearly in English, both written and verbally

Desirable

• You'll help out our existing teams while they're working on a big customer project
• This can span from helping with setting up an integration with an external system to helping with internal billing
• The project is going to last 6 months
• We work in nimble teams around 5 people in size, with each team taking ownership of a specific set of features of the application
• Teams are responsible for a full slice across the stack, so both the backend as well as the frontend of each part is maintained by the same people

• You can apply today and we’ll start having interviews from 05/08/2024. There’s no benefit to applying early, so you can take your time answering the application questions
• According to our vision to build a diverse, equitable and inclusive organisation, our policy is to only make a final hiring decision if underrepresented groups are sufficiently represented in the list of candidates applying for the position. For this reason it’s possible interviews get slightly delayed until we’ve reached that goal
