Senior Full-Stack Rails Engineer

About the Role

Elevo is looking for a Senior Full-Stack Rails Engineer to take a prime role in our team of 4.

As a Senior Full-Stack Rails engineer in our small team, you will:

• Guide the implementation of the back-end vision
• Advice and iterate on the whole app vision (front-end interaction, infrastructure)
• Jointly design, deliver and monitor new features
• Interact with the codebase as a whole (it’s not a solely back-end role, you will have to write JavaScript)
• Share your expertise and technical vision
• Mentor newcomers and less-new-comers :)

Some example of things you could/would have work on:

• Split our back-end into sub-domains
• Refine our back-end model to untangle our codebase as the product matures
• Introduce a new serialization paradigm (with good reasons)
• Explain and pair with a junior on the team on how to optimize a slow endpoint in production
• Comment on the design document of a new feature
• Write unit, integration and E2E tests to ensure everything is ticking nicely before a release
• Design a unified filtering capability, usable everywhere on the app
• Work with the front-end lead to make our auto-save ever-more reliable
• Add an external integration with a third party API with which to sync user data

Profile

• You have at least 5 years of professional experience, with a significant experience in a Rails environment on an SPA app
• You have extensive experience of delivering and evolving complex back-ends
• You have experience writing modern JavaScript, and are willing to contribute full-stack
• You like to work in a team in a chill and fun spirit
