We’ve been remote for more than 10 years so we have the tools, practices, and communication styles that make it work well for us. We have a tight-knit team, a casual work environment, and a healthy work-life balance. We stick to a 40 hour per week schedule, won’t give you crazy deadlines, and are generous with our paid time off.
Who We Need
We’re looking for a talented individual to join our Product team as a Rails developer where you’ll be helping ship features and squash bugs. You'll be collaborating with our Head of Product (who is also our front-end developer) and our Rails Developer to round out this small and nimble team. We build and maintain an internal Rails app called Handshake that is both a CRM and a suite of workflow tools which we use to deliver the services of our consumer-facing Rails app, Agent Pronto. We also have an agent-facing Rails app called, creatively, Agent Pronto Login that real estate agents use to interact with our service.

- You have strong communication skills and are receptive to constructive feedback.
- You have the ability to thoroughly, yet simply, explain features to everyday users.
- You can clearly articulate your thoughts and feelings through writing.

How We Work
We don’t separate “product” from “engineering.” Our dev team is the product team, and we’re responsible for prioritizing new features, enhancements, and bug fixes to help our users be successful. We have a weekly planning meeting on Slack, post short, daily check-ins on Basecamp, and discuss code changes and implementations in GitHub. We build our products with Heroku, GitHub, Travis CI, CloudFlare, Twilio, Google Maps, Mandrill, and more.
We value feedback at every level and encourage everyone at Agent Pronto to speak up and contribute with their ideas, thoughts, and concerns throughout the development process. After all, one of our primary user groups is made up of your future coworkers!
