Role
Who you are
- We're on the hunt for a Ruby Backend Developer who’s not just been a coding wizard for the past 3 years but someone who loves to uncover the "why" behind the code, ensuring it solves real problems for our customers
- Transitioning from Ruby to TypeScript will be a significant challenge, requiring a deep understanding of both languages and their ecosystems
- You’ll need to balance maintaining existing functionality while innovating and improving processes. To achieve this you will need solid understanding and experience with the backend technologies including strong SQL (NoSQL is a plus) and Backend (REST API) architecture
- Working in a remote, international team will require excellent communication and collaboration skills to bridge time zones and cultural differences
What the job involves
- This is more than just a job—it's a chance to shape the future of our platform while enjoying the flexibility to work from anywhere
- With us, you'll experience the steepest learning curve of your career, regular international gatherings, and an entrepreneurial work style where your success is measured by results, not hours
- Plus, you'll have access to continuous learning opportunities and an open, creative environment where your ideas matter
- You'll be part of the Monetization squad, which includes a Product Manager, three developers, QA, and you
- We value open communication, creativity, and results
- You'll use tools like Ruby, TypeScript, REST API architecture, and more to achieve your goals
- In your first year, you’ll dive into several exciting challenges and opportunities
- You'll work closely with our existing Ruby developer and support the transition of Ruby services to TypeScript
- Within 6-12 months, you’ll have made a significant impact on this migration, owning these new TypeScript services
- As a key player in the Monetization squad, you'll develop new features related to payments, subscriptions, and the new Admin App, directly impacting our customers
- Your role will involve creating a seamless, multi-platform solution (Web, iOS, Android) and maintaining a bug-free product by prioritizing critical issues first
- During the first year, you'll be expected to achieve several key performance objectives
- First, you will successfully migrate existing Ruby services to TypeScript within 6-12 months, ensuring the new services are robust and scalable
- Next, you will design and implement new features for our Monetization squad, directly impacting customer experience and satisfaction
- Success will be measured by user feedback and feature adoption rates
- Additionally, you'll create an environment that fosters fearless development, where new features can be built without the worry of breaking existing functionality
- Achieving this will involve designing the product from high-level abstractions to detailed implementation, ensuring a clean, maintainable codebase
- Achieving your KPOs will open up numerous growth opportunities
- You'll gain extensive experience in full-stack development, transitioning between Ruby and TypeScript, and influencing product direction
- Your contributions will be critical to our success, positioning you for higher leadership roles within the company
- If you are interested in Front End / JavaScript / React, it is also possible to get involved with Front End developers of the squad

Our take
The internet provides an invaluable platform for experts and educators to share their knowledge, in the form of training courses, workout videos, and other streamable content. However, creators usually resort to the convenience of hosting content through a third party, and with this comes limitations, restrictions, and hefty fees.
Passion.io provides a no-code online video content platform, enabling experts, course leaders, teachers, and instructors to design their own app with live streaming, push notifications, and interactive community functionalities. The platform's no-code framework enables users to customize and brand their digital experiences, without the need for coding knowledge or expensive assistance.
Whilst the company will face fierce competition from educational content platforms such as Skillshare and YouTube, Passion.io has been wise to recognize that content creators need bespoke and unrestricted solutions, without programming being involved. Through its no-code approach and unified suite of digital content tools, the company aims to increase accessibility to bespoke and interactive online experiences for both the creators and their audiences.
