Getting a job is hard and stressful. We're trying to fix that. Seriously, that's the ethos behind this post as well as the product we need your help building. 

Come join a high-functioning team that needs your unique talents. Been there, done that crew. All pros. 


We are looking for a few Jr. Ruby on Rails developers responsible for managing the interchange of data between the server and the users. Your primary focus will be development of all server-side logic, definition and maintenance of the central database, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end.

If you've built or are currently building mission-critical software for larger enterprises. If you're just getting started, please apply for our Sr. Engineering position. 

If you've recently graduated from a code school or are just getting started in your software career, this is the post for you. 


Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable Ruby code
  • Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to these problems
  • Help maintain code quality, organization and automatization

Skills
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails, along with other common libraries such as RSpec, Grape, and DelayedJob
  • Experience with relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL
  • Understanding of the syntax of Ruby and its nuances
  • Understanding of object-oriented programming
  • Familiarity with concepts of MVC, Mocking, ORM, and RESTful paradigms
  • Able to create database schemas that represent and support business processes
  • Able to implement automated testing platforms and unit tests
  • Understanding of Git and GitHub
  • Familiarity with continuous integration

Compensation
  • $60K - $90K (DOE) + health benefits
  • Open to contract-work if you'd rather not be w2, but we'd like your full-time effort
  • Generous PTO / schedule flexibility
  • Chance to grow your role + raises (of course) as we grow the company

What to Expect
  • Small, pro team — been there, done that RE: enterprise software
  • Start out doing QA and learning to document bugs in the code... then graduate to development work
  • Clear direction and expectations
  • Chill leaders who only care about the work product
  • We also expect you to have a life outside of work — none of that "work is family" psyops stuff

Start Date
  • Assume April 1 but we can talk about it if you have a preference sooner or later

How to Apply
  • Send an email to josh@krow.ai
  • Include a short bio
  • link to your LinkedIn
  • link to your GitHub
  • Questions you have about the company or role
LSS,  this could be your vehicle for good work/life balance + feel good about the product you're building + respect for everyone you work with + opportunity to do something that benefits users in a real, tangible way that most software doesn't.
