👋 Howdy! Stuart here, founder and Head of Engineering at Rivo!

• Are you a Full-Stack Rails engineer with 5+ years of experience?
• Interested in working on the bleeding edge of what Rails has to offer when it comes to new features and developments (Rails 7 & Hotwire)?
• Would building and scaling a fast-growing SaaS company while sticking to Rails best practices fire you up?

If so, awesome! Keep reading!

About the job:

With the help of our small team, (and some awesome team members at Thoughtbot), we've built an amazing platform on Rails that has scaled wonderfully so far.

To give a small indication, we process roughly 20-30M Sidekiq Jobs per day and are adding 8-10M db rows per day.

Your job is to help us scale as a Full-Stack Rails Engineer.

This is a remote, full-time role (40+ hours/week).

How Are We Different?:

We might lose you here :)

We believe in writing Rails in a particular style, sticking close to standard and general Rails best practices.

If a feature takes our competitors 8 weeks to build, we build a solid MVP in 8-10 days. We utilize the 80/20 principle to focus on what matters and just ship. Of course, we look at the usage metrics, then come back and complete the other 20% over time.

If this sounds like your style, we'd love to chat!

Who you are:

• You’re self-driven and work autonomously with limited guidance
• You can operate in a high-octane environment
• You utilize the Pareto Principle (80/20)
• You prefer async meetings and moving fast
• You have a profound passion for Rail's best practice

What will you be responsible for:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand and optimize products
• Design and architect scalable and maintainable Ruby on Rails applications
• Write high-quality, clean, and viable code following best practices and design patterns and implement new features and functionalities within the existing applications
• Write and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure the reliability of the application
• Perform debugging and troubleshooting to identify and fix issues promptly
• Collaborate with teams to ensure smooth deployment and continuous integration processes and participate in configuring and maintaining the deployment pipeline and monitoring systems

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience with Ruby / Ruby on Rails
• Having experience in the Shopify ecosystem, particularly the Shopify_app and Shopify_api gems is a Huge plus
• In-depth knowledge of database systems, particularly relational databases (e.g., Postgres, Sidekiq and Redis)
• The ability to adjust to our high-octane workflow. One of our core values is to create what works in its simplest form and iterate based on metrics and feedback. We don't have long release cycles 🤗
• The ability to work in EST or PDT timezone, or at least overlap by 5 hours
• Ability to write efficient and optimized code, following best practices and design patterns
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to tackle complex technical challenges
• Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers
