Software Engineer, Rails Backend The Explanation Company (explanation.com ) is hiring an experienced Rails programmer to lead our efforts in building a fast and reliable API backend that scales with our product growth.
You'll report to our CEO, a seasoned entrepreneur, engineer, and former product manager for Facebook Messenger and News Feed. We’re a remote-first, distributed team within the four time zones of the continental U.You’ll take a lead role in the overall speed and reliability of a big backend built in Ruby on Rails. This powers a React Native client that includes video calling, chatting, search, and video browsing. You’ll have other senior engineers to collaborate with when you need a sounding board.
You'll design, build, and own key subsystems like queuing, video calling backend, and infrastructure failovers. We have deep experience with Rails, and we’ve prioritized creating a strong codebase and great development environment.
On the team, we have two experienced full stack engineers that know Ruby on Rails well. You'll be focused on things like reducing Ruby's memory footprint, tuning database configuration, load testing, setting up effective performance monitoring, digging into New Relic, and re-architecting our socket connections for better scalability.
You likely have 7+ years of experience in Ruby on Rails, and you have significant experience with another language and at least one SQL database (we’re on Postgresql). You’ve gone deep on the Rails framework and understand idiomatic Rails.
You’re good at stress testing and architecting for speed & reliability, you're excited to focus on all the challenges that come with scaling, and you’re happy to be in an on-call rotation.
You’ll be joining a small team that likes to ship quickly, making incremental progress forward. We merge into main a half dozen times each day with our continuous integration process running in 10 minutes.
You’re comfortable working in a remote environment. You are strong at communicating complex thoughts in writing and value clear communication.
We’re a well-funded and ambitious startup backed by great investors. Andreessen Horowitz led our initial $9M fundraise and we assembled a nimble team of six people that are passionate about building an insanely great product for our customers. Our founders sold their previous companies after reaching millions of children.
We also offer health insurance, vacation, travel to team meetups, and computer equipment.
