Senior Software Engineer (Ruby On Rails)

Wednesday is a digital agency. We work with startups and enterprises to build digital products for their users.

At our core, we are a group of makers - designers, developers, product & project managers. We care about our work and think of it as a craft. We're always learning so we can build better and faster.

As a Technical Lead, your time will be divided between programming and technical oversight.

Core Responsibilities

• Code Reviews: Review all pull requests to ensure features are built correctly following the conventions and guidelines of the project.
• Communication: Work with your team to ensure they understand all the requirements clearly.
• Architecture: Have a clear picture of the system architecture in mind. Lead your teams to implement that design.
• Learn: Learn from the practices followed by other teams and evangelize your learnings.

Skills Required

• Technical expertise with our tech stack - JS, Nodejs, React, and AWS.
• Understanding of Agile processes and methodologies.
• Understanding of the continuous software delivery process using CD.
• The ability to debug corner cases, hypothesize and fix bugs.

• Work with development teams and product managers to create software solutions.
• Design client-side and server-side architecture.
• Build the front-end of applications.
• Develop and manage well-functioning databases and applications.
• Write effective APIs.
• Test software to ensure responsiveness and efficiency.
• Troubleshoot, debug and upgrade software.
• Create security and data protection settings.

Experience with Database development (MySQL, Postgres, etc).

Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer or similar role. Knowledge of multiple front-end languages and libraries (e.g. HTML/ CSS, JavaScript, jQuery).
Knowledge of multiple back-end languages (e.g. Java, Python) and JavaScript frameworks (e.g. Angular, React, Node.js).
Familiarity with databases (e.g. MySQL, MongoDB), web servers (e.g. Apache), and UI/UX design.
Experience with AWS or other cloud environments

Flexiple's infrastructure is heavily powered by Ruby on Rails, and we're keen to onboard smart Ruby developers with some experience on JavaScript to help us build amazing web apps!

You'll be part of Flexiple's core engineering team and get a chance to work on multiple Ruby/JS apps, that are built for performance & scale. A typical day of engineering work at Flexiple would involve backend ruby work and getting your hands dirty in the frontend.

Our apps are built for internal & external users, and a few of them get 1 million+ monthly hits! We'd love for you to help us build performant systems that function at such scale.

We don't make compromises in design or code and all our apps are robust, fast and well-tested. However, we also focus equally on speed of development, which is typical of the startup dev culture. So you'll see the best of both worlds at Flexiple!

This is a fully remote position that can be done from anywhere. The CTC can be increased based on the experience of the individual (up to 20 lpa).

If you're backend Ruby developer, who also loves to tinker on the frontend, then this is the right opportunity for you.

• Build & deploy robust, well-tested products/features that are used by millions of users.
• Write crisp, clean & efficient Ruby and JavaScipt code, with equal focus on being easy to maintain and debug.
• Write clean & elegant CSS to bring static wireframes/mockups to life.
• Communicate effectively, contribute to improving the dev processes and brainstorm ideas.
• Share feedback with others, mentor your teammates and grow as a part of the team.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies.
