In This Role, You Will:

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional programming experience, ideally in a web application environment
• Proficient in Ruby and Ruby on Rails, with working knowledge of JavaScript.

• Familiarity with high-performing, agile development teams and best practices like CI/CD, code reviews, and feature flags
• Strong opinions on software architecture and development practices, grounded in real-world experience building and maintaining production systems
