Experienced Software Engineer, Rails, CX Team at ZappiStore

Description

Who we are

• Zappi is a fast growing SaaS platform helping Fortune 500 companies pre-test new ideas and creative content before production. From new products, media campaigns, names, logos, packaging or flavors, Zappi allows companies to kill bad ideas and improve on good ones. We bring together top expertise in applied statistics, data science, visualization, UX and engineering to create a platform that allows non-expert users to make high-stake decisions easily and confidently.

Who we hire

• We believe in hiring people that want a chance to do their best work. We believe driven engineers operate best in high-trust, small, cross-functional teams who work together with the rest of the business to bring value to our customers.
• We believe great engineering happens in great teams that value improvement, curiosity and continuous learning. We align as a business on the challenges we need to solve and trust teams to solve them in the best possible way.
• We value experimentation, failing fast and being bold. We practice continuous delivery and fast iteration. We hate politics, gate-keeping, unfairness and toxic behaviour. We believe in transparency, even when it’s unflattering. We believe in honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable. We treat failure as a learning opportunity. We believe in ethical and responsible business practices and having a positive impact on the environment and our communities.

What you will be working on

• The Customer Experience engineering team was formed recently, with a mission to make our end-to-end platform experience world-class, from sign up to checkout. You’ll work on features such as social sharing, notifications and messaging, and key parts of the user onboarding experience. On the tech side, we use React talking to a Ruby on Rails API via GraphQL (or REST).
