CARTO
empowers everyone, from business analysts to data scientists, to turn
location data into business outcomes. Our SaaS platform offers visual
insights on where things happen, why they happen and predicts what will
happen in the future. We accelerate innovation, find efficiencies, power
new use cases, and disrupt business models through the use of location
intelligence (LI).
This position is based out of our Madrid, Spain office, but you can also work remotely, as long as you're in Spain.
Requirements
- Initiative, can-do attitude and eagerness to learn!
- Curiosity,
energy, and a collaborative mindset. Our product team works very
closely. We discuss a lot, and we make sure that everything we build
makes contextual sense
As a backend developer
in our product team you will build and improve our Dashboard, Builder
and other APIs that power CARTO’s platform while, at the same time, you
contribute with your code to the most powerful open source Location
Intelligence platform in the world.
One project we recently worked
on was the ability to export/import CARTO users data which allowed us
to migrate hundreds of thousands of users between different
infrastructures with no downtime. This project involved getting deep in legacy code, understanding and improving databases bottlenecks and implementing a resilient asynchronous jobs strategy in Ruby on Rails.
We
are currently building a new comprehensive authentication and
authorization system ranging from fine-grained permissions to
authentication via OAuth.
We care about having a well-maintained
platform and believe in providing excellent support to our users. We
get our hands dirty (and learn if necessary) by looking at SQL queries or debugging Ruby on Rails code on a Linux server. We heavily rely on tests so we can refactor and improve our code confidently.
We have a passion for clean code. We achieve that through collaboration. At CARTO we believe that professional development happens through teaching and learning from your peers and managers. We'd love to get to know you even if you’re uncertain about whether you have the experience we’re looking for.
