About you
You’re a product-focused, customer obsessed software engineer who evaluates all of your work through the lens of user experience, regardless of which layer of the stack you’re working in. You have crafted a number of fully-formed software products that have been released into the wild. You believe that code is a means to an end, not the end itself.
What you'll work on
Because the range of projects is diverse, we need a full-stack Rails engineer with experience working on a wide variety of products. You’ll work on projects like: improving our search and analytics features, building machine learning systems for bot detection and optimizing survey response rates, implementing integrations with 3rd party services, or working to improve the responsiveness and reliability of our API. You’ll also work with the entire team in building new customer-facing features, from idea, through prototype, to release and maintenance.
