Desirable

• You’ll write clean, efficient, and high-performance code – not to just ship new features, but to continuously optimize speed, reliability, and user experience across our Ruby (and Ruby on Rails)-powered architecture
• We’re a fully remote-first, async-first startup with product-market fit in a niche (and booming) domain: crypto taxes. Our lean team of 35 people (10 in engineering) is mostly spread across EMEA
• Type: Full-time, remote (Contractor - B2B)
• Team size: 10 engineers in a 35-person team
• As a Sr. Ruby Developer, you’ll be responsible for writing clean, modern code that adheres to best practices
• We pride ourselves on having very high test coverage and rarely having any prod issues. Our backend follows a microservices architecture, consisting of multiple small services that collectively power the user experience

• Maintain existing code while ensuring high performance and responsiveness
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code following best practices

• Debug and troubleshoot complex issues across production and development environments
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers in a focused async loop
• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and best practices in Ruby development
• May have on-call responsibilities
• Your first month:
• This is the most decisive part of your tenure at Koinly. We’ll assess how quickly you can get operational and contribute value
• A good benchmark? Try Koinly yourself. If the product doesn’t click for you quickly, building it won’t be easier
• We hold our work to the same standard we expect for users: getting results fast, with clarity and confidence. After all, we expect our users to be able to do their taxes with Koinly in under 20 minutes, and we build accordingly

• An initial call with the talent team (30 mins)
