Backend Engineer - remote

Cased
Posted 3 years ago  • Remote, US

At Cased, we create innovative solutions and workflows for the growing number of security, compliance, and productivity challenges that face software companies.

Cased was founded in early 2020 by four former GitHub employees, with investment from Founders Fund and some of the most experienced angel investors in technology. Our product enables growing tech companies to ship fast, while staying secure as they grow. Our product includes features like approval workflows for important operations, automatic logging and recording of DevOps tooling, and integrations that link identity providers to command line tools. And we're just getting started.

You'll help to shape both the future of our product and the company we become. You'll ship world-class software and work alongside engineering, design, and product leaders who helped build GitHub, Facebook, Zillow, Yelp, and Simple.

Cased embraces diversity, equity and inclusion, and invites applications from people of all walks of life. We don't discriminate against employees or applicants based on gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, national origin, citizenship, disability, pregnancy status, veteran status, or any other differences.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years experience writing Ruby on Rails code (or significant experience with a similar framework) and have previously collaborated with others in large codebases.
  • You're excited about working on a fast-growing product, and can adapt to changing product and customer needs.
  • You are familiar with good REST API design and best practices including authentication, rate limiting, content encoding, schemas, and errors.
  • Solid database design skills, and some familiarity with search technology is helpful.

What you'll do

  • Work alongside Cased founders and engineers to assist in the design, scalability, and implementation of customer-centric features.
  • Learn from customer feedback and weigh in on product decisions.
  • Help to build a diverse and inclusive company culture. As an early employee you'll have a significant impact on the type of company Cased becomes.
