Software Engineer (Ruby / React)

LeadSimple Inc.

(Junior / Senior Positions Open)
LeadSimple is a small, motivated team solving big problems in the property management industry. Bootstrapped since 2013, we're passionate about helping small businesses simplify growth and streamline operations, providing the leading CRM in our space. Engineering works closely with our Product and Success teams to discover and deliver features that will make a real difference in a product our customers use every day.
Tech Stack
In 2019 we re-built our tech stack in a phased rewrite (rather than a big-bang project) to adopt React, Typescript, and Relay on the front-end, talking to a new GraphQL API powered by Ruby on Rails. Our APIs are well tested, and we want to keep it that way. We have experience refactoring a large codebase, so we seek to move fast without creating technical debt. We focus on customer impact, so we prefer validated backlogs over long roadmaps. We practice continous deployment, with weekly sprints.
TeamWe're a fully remote team working across 3 time zones, and we make heavy use of Slack and Zoom for communication throughout the day. We work regular 40 hour weeks, Monday - Friday, with occasional maintenance projects during off-hours.
We're looking for 1-2 curious and productive team members to help accelerate the value we provide to customers. We're open to junior or senior roles.
