Internal Engineer at Simple (Portland, OR) (allows remote)
The Job
Simple is looking for a generalist engineer who's comfortable with Ruby, Rails, web development best practices and who is excited to grow their skill set to work across our stack. We're building both internal and external services and systems, and Ruby is our integration language for much of that work. If you're a Ruby craftsperson looking to work on a variety of interesting projects with a small, talented team of backend, frontend, and mobile engineers, this is your gig.
Skills and Tools
We're pragmatists. We have no religion about development process, programming languages, version control, text editors, SQL vs NoSQL, etc. We use the right tool for the job, and we try to stay adaptable and open-minded. We care deeply about building a mutually supportive atmosphere, and you should, too.
We don't expect everyone we hire to be an expert in everything we do on their first day. We do expect that you want to learn, grow, and be challenged by the people you work with. You should love what you do and be able to learn new things on your own, quickly.
We believe strongly in metrics, testing, continuous integration, and working fluidly and harmoniously with our experienced operations staff. Everything we write is designed for simplicity and maintainability. We take security very, very seriously.
Our backend developers mostly work in Scala. Our frontend developers mostly work in Ruby and JavaScript. We use Git, Chef, a variety of Amazon Web Services, Postgres, and more. We're experimenting with other neat stuff, but always with a critical eye and thorough benchmarking.
We are active open source contributors, and we hope that you are too (or, at least, that you want to be).
Benefits
We offer competitive salaries, great benefits, equity in the company, and a nice budget for your own custom setup. We encourage and subsidize conference participation and continuing education. We believe in work/life balance and fostering a happy workplace.
If you're interested in building the future of personal banking with a group of nice, funny, smart people who love music, math, food, design, coffee, and code, Simple is the place for you.
