Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer
At Donut we are on a mission to create more trusting, collaborative, and successful work relationships. We believe genuine relationships are the key to being engaged, happy, and successful at work.
Donut came together over a shared passion to help people connect, and the insight that strong relationships at work are the bedrock of a successful team. Employees who feel socially connected to their coworkers express greater individual purpose and fulfillment, less workplace loneliness and isolation, and improved performance and productivity. We are building a company that embodies those ideals while instilling them in others.
How we work:
Currently, our small, but scrappy remote engineering team consists of empathetic and caring individuals dedicated to unlocking the power of human connection. We build new features together in two week sprints. Everyone writes code, reviews pull requests, and participates in our engineering support shift rotation. Our core connection hours are 11am – 5pm ET.
