Lead Software Engineer (Ruby/React)

Published on March 21, 2023

Docyt, pronounced “docket”, is an extremely fast-growing FinTech startup headquartered in Silicon Valley, that is passionately focused on giving businesses control of their financial data. While great strides have been made in sending and receiving payments, businesses still struggle to aggregate all their financial data, understand it, and use it to make well-informed, timely decisions. Docyt brings order to data chaos. Docyt is a super app that applies AI (artificial intelligence) across the entire accounting tech stack. Docyt digitizes financial data, automates both income and expense workflows, continuously reconciles QuickBooks®, and generates real-time financial statements. That explains what we do, but here’s why it’s important. A complete, accurate, real-time financial picture empowers businesses to make timely and smart decisions so their business can thrive.

We’re seeking an experienced Ruby on Rails and React full stack developer to lead our growing and talented team of engineers. This is a leadership role, and you will need good communication skills and leadership experience in order to be successful. You will be responsible for developing and maintaining clean, testable, and polished code to allow for the delivery of great products.
Ultimately, the ideal candidate will have the ability to quickly switch gears between projects to accommodate our fast-paced environment and provide quick ticket problem-solving. Our culture is unique and hard to beat; we are hard-working, go-doers that also value the importance of maintaining a work/life balance for our team members.
