We're looking for a full-time, full-stack Ruby on Rails developer to help us tackle the many challenges of running a marketplace that scales.
Your projects will vary from sprint to sprint and you will play a critical role through every project’s lifecycle from design to development to maintenance. Some of the stuff we're working on includes:
API: enable sellers and third parties to sell on Bonanza
Importers: allow sellers to effortlessly bring inventory from platforms including eBay, Shopify, and CSV
Broadcaster: an advertising platform that takes Google Adwords and makes it comprehensible
Fraud and compliance: keeping disallowed items and bad actors off the platform Mobile-first UX
Third party integrations (checkout, dispute management, OAuth signup and login)
Obviously these bullets only scratch the surface of the tasks we'll be working on at a given time. You will also have opportunities to research and integrate new technologies.
Job Requirements A minimum of 3 years of Ruby on Rails experience in a production environment. You'll be working in the full stack, from the database (MySQL) up to jQuery and HTML/CSS. You should have the doggedness to solve problems through documentation, research, and reviewing logs and past commits. You should have the empathy to see problems from our customers’ shoes and keep their needs in mind while building solutions.
We are a data driven company from the business level down to individual contributors, so we experiment with different methods to evaluate success. We are looking for developers who can come up to speed on new skills and technologies, turn that into a regular cadence of completed work, and who have time management skills to get through all their tasks coding or otherwise.
