Full stack Ruby developer

Join our team of enthusiastic software developers who are committed to building and maintaining a great product. This role is available to both Dutch and English speakers, and we are open to remote work in Europe.

Working as a developer at WebinarGeek

We spend as much time as needed to make sure that the things we build are good, solve real problems, improve the product, and help us reach new markets. Quality is embedded into every process, and it starts with people. We want people on our team who live this philosophy and who write code that works and is maintainable in every possible aspect. Just as importantly, we want people who create a positive work atmosphere, with a critical eye on the work while always encouraging their teammates.

We work with Ruby on Rails as our core framework, always using one of the most recent versions.

For the front end, we work with Typescript, React, Tailwind, Styled components, and component testing with Jest. We also maintain a legacy front end in Rails, which contains jQuery and Scss.

Other tools, protocols, and languages in our stack include MySQL, Redis, websockets, and Git. We also have tools written in or built upon Gatsby, Java, PHP, WebRTC, AWS Lambda, Phoenix, and Elixir.

Who you are

• At least 2 years of experience with Ruby, ideally with Ruby on Rails

• Strong sense of responsibility

• You value iterative product improvement based on user input and experience

• You're a team player

• Dutch or English speaking

• Quality over quantity: make sure the foundation of the software is solid. Bugs over features.

Your responsibilities

1. To engineer: translate requirements or technical challenges into software solutions. Decide how best to solve a particular problem or address a need.

3. To care: as a team, we are responsible for the health of our code. You help the team and yourself work toward shared goals such as application health.
