Role
Who you are
- You should have a strong interest in design and UI/UX — things like userinyerface.com should amuse (and slightly horrify) you
What the job involves
- You’ll work on challenges such as full-text search, domain-specific search optimization, large-scale email alert delivery and optimization, custom CRM solutions, and everything else that helps make our customers happy
- Developers on our team have a history of maintaining and contributing to open-source projects
- Machinio succeeded thanks to open source software, so we love people that contribute to open source
- You’ll work on the core application and several supporting microservices (most of them written in Ruby), implementing features and taking full ownership of them from start to finish
- This includes suggesting ideas and validating them with data, building solutions with the support of the team, running A/B tests when needed, and writing tests while proactively fixing issues along the way
- You’ll also help improve the existing codebase; we strive to minimize technical debt and take a proactive approach to addressing it
- Being open to discussing ideas and implementation details during code reviews is important to us
- Finally, we value continuous learning and provide a learning stipend to support your ongoing professional development
- Tech stack:
- Ruby 3.4, Ruby on Rails 7.1, Go, Python
- PostgreSQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, Apache Kafka, ClickHouse
- AWS, Terraform, Terragrunt, Kubernetes, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana
- React, Vite, Bootstrap, Ant Design
- Rspec, Rubocop, Cuprite, Capybara
- Github + Github Actions for CI/CD
- Github Issues, Slack, Figma
Our take
Machinio is the largest online global marketplace for used construction machinery and equipment, with over one million listings and millions of vetted buyers. The $400B machinery sector is a lucrative one to be in, and with a client pool that’s been growing substantially year-on-year, Machinio has slowly been cornering the market.
The company’s second prong, MachineryHost, is an industry-specific CRM for used machinery dealers that comprises tools for business operations including inventory management, quoting, and email marketing. This provides an important cross-sell opportunity that Machinio has leveraged astutely, with many Machinio clients also signing up to the CRM service.
It’s an interesting market niche: used equipment dealerships are one of the areas seeing slow digital transformation uptake, in part because businesses are often multi-generational. With more people forced to pivot online in recent years, however, cultivating a sophisticated online presence has become business-critical. So Machinio’s steady progress, which in the future will focus on consolidating and refining its product offerings, looks set to continue paying off.
