Job Description

What you'll do here

What kind of impact will you make? As Senior Software Engineer, you’ll design, implement, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code. You’ll focus on back-end technologies - mostly in Ruby - with occasional gigs in front-end or devops code as well.

Your role would be on the Nuts Team, which is responsible for the product line "Jobs & Recruitment". This team currently consists of 6 people and you'd be the second engineer focused mainly on the back-end. There are also two front-ends, a Infrastructure Engineer, a Designer, and a Product Owner.

In your first 3 months you'll:

  • Get to know your peers, set up your work environment, and become familiar with our processes

  • Have your first contributions deployed to our production environment

  • Build and release features as part of a small team

  • Become familiar with the architecture of our entire software system

  • Better understand the scope of Devex's services and mission

In your first year you'll:

  • Have become an integral part of the product team

  • Be capable of independently implementing high-level and sometimes vague tasks

  • Be trusted to work autonomously to solve most problems that come up

  • Take on technical leadership of individual projects

How We Work

Product teams at Devex have a lot of autonomy and are expected to work on problems instead of pre-defined solutions. When addressing business problems or working towards company goals, the team is involved early on in the ideation process.

We follow the Scrum methodology and work in two-week-sprints with the usual elements like daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, or retrospectives. We deploy our code to production nearly every day and are aiming to reach continuous deployment by the end of the year.

The maintenance of our software stack is coordinated by the developers through a dedicated working group. Overall we dedicate 20% of our resources to maintenance work like keeping dependencies up to date or refactoring code for increased performance, stability and/or maintainability. Every other Friday developers can decide freely what maintenance tasks they'd like to work on - we call those 10%-fridays.

Tech Stack

Ruby is the main programming language for the back-end, using the Ruby on Rails and grape frameworks. The front-end is a mix of Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, and React. Nearly all data is stored in a relational database (PostgreSQL), cached by Redis, and searched over via Elasticsearch. We manage our cloud infrastructure via Kubernetes on AWS, local environments rely on docker.

Qualifications

What are we looking for?

Here are the indicators that this could be a good role for you:

  • EU work authorization and ability to work from our Barcelona office

  • Strong skills in written and spoken English

  • Experience in developing professional web applications using server side MVC frameworks like Ruby on Rails

  • A solid grasp of object-oriented programming and automated software testing
