Who We Are
MemberSpace is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company whose mission is to help non-technical entrepreneurs build a sustainable membership business anywhere on the internet.
Starting a business is hard, especially for those that are less tech-literate. Therefore, our team focuses heavily on customer support and being empathetic to anyone who contacts us. This value is deep in our roots as a business and something we've emphasized since day one 🤗.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails developer to join our technical team. We're expecting you to give a full-time effort (around 35-40 hours/week) working on MemberSpace.
We pride ourselves on being a low-stress and calm company.
We have a structured but still flexible development process. Features and enhancements are first presented as pitches by anyone on the team. A pitch is a thought through write up where you explain the problem, your solution, the estimated time scope, and any rabbit holes.
All members of the team are encouraged to think about the strategic direction of the product and pitch ideas to the rest of the team.
The CEO and CTO eventually decide which handful of pitches to work on next. Each member of the development team can then pick out which of the selected pitches they want to tackle (either by themselves or in a small group).
We follow a testing first, Github flow PR strategy where all pushes are automatically run through a CI build server. Most communication happens in Basecamp with PR specific communication happening in Github.
You'll own your features and bug fixes from start to completion, including design, implementation, testing, and deployment to our testing and production pipelines. This may require collaborating with your peers on the support team or working with a 3rd party integration.
We are looking for someone who likes to spend most of the day solving problems with code but can also contribute to the bigger goals of the business.
