About the role:
We are looking for an Intermediate Developer experienced with Ruby-on-Rails to help us solve tough problems and think up innovative new solutions, based on software development best practices and an urge to be the best you can be. You will work on customer and admin-facing products, third-party integrations both canned and bespoke, and help architect the system toward greater flexibility, reliability, and scale. If you're excited about building meaningful experiences, solving tough problems, and doing work that truly matters, we think you'll feel right at home.
Your impact:
Creative problem solving for key development and engineering issues, including full understanding of the root cause with the ability to leverage data to back up assertions
Building, maintaining, and architecting core web and mobile applications
Integrating with and maintaining third party tools and services
Participating in our agile development process: sprint planning, story grooming and stand ups
Extensive collaboration with other departments, particularly Product, Customer Care, and Finance, on product issues and when implementing new features
Adherence to our SDLC and secure coding practises and environment
Collaboration with development pod and team via pull request reviews, mentorship, knowledge sharing, pairing on complex stories
Championing ZayZoon’s mission to provide responsible financial products to an underserved generation of employees
You bring:
2+ years of hands-on Ruby on Rails experience with production applications
Experience solving issues around scale, concurrency, queuing, background processing, and efficient ingestion of third party data
Mastery of fundamentals. SOLID coding principles, domain-driven design, performant code and queries, unit and integration testing.
Ability to build quick when we need to experiment, build clean when MVP becomes core functionality
Strong SQL and data analysis skills and an eagerness to dig into data as part of problem solving.
Full stack mentality. Every dev owns their features in full, meaning all the way from back end to front end code, automated and real life testing, demos, and delivery
Experience with agile development, sprints and scrum.
All the usual tooling: Git, Github, Jira, editor of your choice (plus the ability to search for good animated gifs when merging pull requests).
