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 nice work atmosphere, having a critical eye on the work while always encouraging their teammates.

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

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

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