Company πŸš€

  • QuickMail is one of the leading cold email outreach solutions for sending business-to-business cold emails.
  • It is used by small and medium businesses all over the world to reach out to potential clients and grow their businesses.
  • Our clients are composed of Entrepreneurs, Founders, Growth Marketers & Agencies (small & medium businesses).
  • QuickMail was started in 2014. We more than doubled the business in 2022 and we have the same ambitious goal for 2023.
  • We are 100% self-funded and composed of a small group of highly driven co-workers.


Our current stack

  • Backend: Ruby on Rails 6.1, Sidekiq 6 & Webpack 4
  • Frontend: Angular 9 with Rxjs, Pug & Bootstrap 4
  • Communication layer: GraphQL, Apollo & Pusher
  • Hosting: Heroku with Postgres & Redis
  • Extra services: AWS for EC2 & Routes


Your initial responsibilities

  • In the first weeks, to familiarize you with our code, you'll be making some small changes to the code to either fix problems or extend existing solutions.
  • You'll then move toward building smaller scope features & advancing on longer-term projects.
  • Ultimately, you will have the possibility to make a big impact on the product by driving initiatives to support the business (e.g. build an integration, create a new feature, extend the API...)
  • The role will evolve into more complex responsibilities based on your ability to write good, clean, and maintainable code as well as communicate & interact with the team.
  • We promote internally so this leaves a lot of opportunities to grow in more senior roles as your career advance with us.


You

  • You deeply ❀️ coding, you are pragmatic in your approach to development, have a positive attitude, and have the ability to make decisions on your own.
  • You have great analytical skills with a demonstrable ability to simplify complex things.
  • You can speak and write in English without problems.
  • You have at least 4 years of professional experience with Ruby on Rails and command a good understanding of background jobs.

  • πŸ’» Solid engineering practices, we use branching and pull requests, review apps, apply scrum with weekly sprints, daily standups, velocity & retrospectives. The code is well structured and the architecture is sound.
  • βš–οΈ You'll join a meritocracy, no-bs culture, no politics, only candid feedback to keep improving. Think Netflix culture.
