Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of professional experience with some combination of Python, Ruby, JavaScript and/or other computer language; polyglot is good!
- Interested in working on technical projects from inception to delivery
- Able to operate and monitor highly available systems in production, or willing to quickly learn how to do so
- Borderline obsessive about testing and quality of workmanship
- Curiosity and excitement about technology as a force for good
- Pride in writing testable, modular, maintainable, simple, and well-documented code
- Experience with web application and/or distributed systems development
- Feeling right at home in the terminal
- Strong written and oral communication skills
What the job involves
- Our Engineering Team is searching for a Software Engineer to advance Engineering at Wave and help the organization in pursuit of Wave’s vision and goals
- Our site is not built using a single technology
- Our primary toolkit includes Python and Django, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScript but we also explore and experiment with brand new technologies to see how they can help fulfill our mission
- Complete Continuous Integration workflow that run test suites on every commit and deploy code to production with one click
- Culture of shared ownership via mandatory code reviews and learning opportunities such as mentorship programs and bi-weekly workshops
- Face exciting, out of the box challenges day in day out. From rapidly scaling our systems to redesigning large parts of the application, we never run out of difficult problems to solve. The status quo just isn't our style
- Rapidly grow into leading technical projects, processes, and standards
- Write clear, concise, elegant, and well-tested code in Python, Ruby, and/or JavaScript
- Work as part of a small, agile, integrated product team that’s focused on continual improvement of their skills and helping each other learn new things
- Be in a workplace that is fun and informal — a place where you'll want to come to on Monday mornings
- Build something that will make people's lives easier
Our take
Over 90% of all businesses in North America are zero to five employee companies. These businesses are organising their finances either by paying an expensive accountant, or relying on traditional spreadsheets.
In response, Wave is democratising access to financial services software. While they are not the first to do this, they have taken the flourishing approach of giving away the invoicing and accounting software 100% for free.
The company instead makes money by embedding financial services products within the software. It's these payments and other revenue streams that the startup is now looking to expand to secure more revenue to scale.
While the company has had success so far with its tools, it will need to build a whole suite of products and services in order to compete with the accounting software giants like Xero.
