  • Working knowledge of Ruby on Rails
  • Experience leading large-scale projects, communicating, and working across functions to drive solutions.
  • History of delivering products/systems through their entire lifecycle, from idea conception, technical planning, implementation, launch, measurement, and maintenance/iteration.
Bonus Pickle Points:
  • Demonstrated leadership abilities and experience driving operational excellence and best practices within a product and engineering organization.
  • Familiarly with SaaS, containerization, microservices architecture, continuous integration, and delivery.
  • Hands-on AWS experience with production workloads.
  • Knowledge or strong interest in Go or Swift.
  • Knowledge of machine learning or neural networks.
  • Experience with agile software development practices.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills (we’re a remote-first company, so effective communication is vital).

Key Objectives and Responsibilities
  • Design, implement and lead projects for new and existing collaboration products and features.
  • Contribute to broader architecture discussions to make our systems even more resilient and scalable.
  • Collaborate with product managers, product designers, and other engineers to identify customer needs and build technical solutions.
  • Design and build robust service APIs that interact with internal and external clients.
  • Identify and resolve performance and scalability issues.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers through pair programming, code reviews, application of new technologies, and best practices.
