Senior RoR Backend Developer

The Role

🔍 What we are looking for

You will be working as our kickass backend developer.

You should be the kind of developer that loves clean, maintainable, and tested code.

You have always wondered to find the place in which to actually implement continuous integration? (btw here we are!)

🧑‍💻 What will you be working on

We are currently building an NFT based game that involves lots of cool things: auction, a battle engine and more. Think of something like Axie Infinity.

This will be your primary area of focus but other projects and opportunities will open up as you prove yourself.

🔨 Requirements & Skills

  • 4+ yrs. experience with Ruby (mandatory)
  • 4+ yrs. of experience with the Rails framework (mandatory)
  • you have a strong understanding of server management and deployment practices and knowledge of tools like Jenkins (mandatory)
  • familiarity with Git and Docker (mandatory)
  • understanding of web3 stacks and how to interact with them (bonus)
  • basic knowledge of frontend jQuery/React.js
  • you are a self-learner and can work autonomously in a proficient way
  • you are familiar with Trello, Slack and tools to get the shit done
  • you are fun :)

👟 About You

  • You have an eye for details: We keep on refining things until they are close to perfection, without losing ourselves in endless iteration loops.
  • You are a self-learner: You can work autonomously in a proficient way.
  • You care about the end goal more than engineering quality: You can make trade-offs between speed and quality. Whatever you do, needs to have a business impact and create value for our customers.
  • You are a doer: You enjoy building products from scratch.
  • You love learning technologies as you go: You always want to find the right tool for the job, and not only follow what you already know and be within a comfort zone.

🤗 Hiring Process

  • Get to know each other: After an initial written Q&A you'll speak with Luca our founder. We use this to pitch Aguadulce and get you excited to join. We'll also use this chance to see whether both our expectations align.
  • Technical assessment: If you meet all the mandatory requirements we will send you an assignment
  • Final conversation: If you perform well on the assignment, an in depth interview will be scheduled where we evaluate together your assignment and the cultural fit
  • Offer: If you pass this last round...congratulations and welcome aboard! 🎊️

🌍️ Location

We are a remote first company since 2017!

We may consider at some point to setting up again a shop in Bangalore 🇮🇳 but you won't be required to be there.

We will organize 1-2 team retreats per year 🏄‍♂️ across the globe to get together and celebrate our wins, make sure not to miss those!

🎁 Perks

  • Tech first environment
  • 100% remote
  • Lifetime Calm subscription as we care about your mental health and are here to be happy together!
  • Unlimited vacation policy (as far as you respect your teammates and each other's work)
  • Agile processes, say bye to bureaucracy and "I can't do that because of my manager"
  • Do something that feels like play. We mean it, we are not here to sacrifice ourselves in front of a screen, we take work seriously but we want to have fun doing it
  • Giving back. As a company a percentage of profits will be dedicated to support social causes and you will decide which causes to support (e.g. gender equality, animal rights, etc.)

🧑‍🚀 About Aguadulce

We are a boutique development studio that ships high quality software. Not to brag, but we are a Wired-featured agency 🥇.

We are a fun environment where deep tech competency is acknowledged and recognized. We thrive to do work that "feels like play".

Our clients are primarily European based agencies (B2B) and we are bootstrapping our way to developing our kickass products in a similar fashion as done previously by folks at 37signals (creators of Basecamp) and Fog Creek Software (creators of Trello).

To reach there ⛰️ we need great talent that grows with us along the journey 🧑‍🚀.
