About You

You love working in Ruby codebases and furthering your mastery of the Ruby language.
You are excited to take ownership of a reasonably large existing codebase and usher it to bigger and better places.
You love the opportunity to participate frequently in small group / pair-programming sessions for mentoring, cross-training, and collaboration.
You are motivated by working on hard and challenging problems rather than showing up just to checkboxes.
You are driven by building a world-class product and great user experience.
Your best day is seeing your team, who you’ve coached and mentored and collaborated with, deliver and achieve amazing results.
You relish the opportunity to work with a product team, engineers, customer success, and customers to ensure a surprisingly awesome customer experience.
You ask a lot of questions and love spirited yet professional debate, knowing it improves outcomes.
You are comfortable navigating uncharted waters within the company.
You are motivated by creating your own path to delivering value and taking full advantage of personal empowerment.
You work openly and honestly with your engineering and product peers to negotiate and document clear scoping & phasing boundaries for projects. You ensure that your team only commits to work that is realistically possible to deliver within standards of quality, timeliness, robustness, and appetite for technical debt.
Whenever you touch code, you take the opportunity to leave it in a better place through appropriate improvements in refactoring, testing, or documentation.
