We aim to help mobile app developers make data-driven decisions about their marketing in a secure, privacy-centric, user-friendly way. We encourage flexibility in working locations and hours but also make sure we all overlap at least briefly for a bit each day.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and front-end developers to create user-friendly and visually appealing interfaces

  • Write clear and maintainable documentation

  • Ensure test coverage for new and existing features

  • Employ feature flags to support trunk-based development workflows

  • Adhere to and enforce code style guidelines and best practices

  • Profile, debug, and optimize performance issues in production and staging environments

Requirements
  • Deep expertise in Ruby (typically 5+ years)

  • Familiarity with Rails

  • Experience with Golang

  • Experience working with high-volume data ingestion and real-time analytics at scale

  • Experience building and consuming REST APIs

  • Familiarity with Git and hosting platforms like GitHub

  • Excellent organization and communication skills

  • An appetite for learning, problem-solving, and contributing to a dynamic team environment

Nice-to-haves
  • Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker

  • Experience with PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Kafka

  • Experience with mobile app development or mobile marketing

  • Experience building data-intensive user workflows - customizable tables, charts, etc

  • Experience working with in-house style guides

Benefits
  • Annual budget for learning and personal development (conferences, books, classes, etc)

  • Budget for fitness and well-being activities (gym memberships, fitness equipment)

  • Unlimited vacation days and a vacation stipend to make sure you take time off (we recommend at least 20 days off per year)

  • Team off-sites and other get-togethers

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)

  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
