Senior Ruby Developer (SimplePay) at SimplePay

Summary of the Role
Stack

• Ruby on Rails (we mostly do work on the back-end)
• PostgreSQL (mostly through ActiveRecord, but raw SQL queries do come in handy sometimes)
• Others: Sorbet, Jenkins, AWS, S3, Sentry and Vue.js (where it makes sense)

Experience

• Due to our full pipeline, we are ideally looking to hire developers who have at least five (5) years of software development experience in Ruby, or highly experienced polyglots who at least know some Ruby.
• That said, if you fit the rest of the bill and are keen to learn Ruby and Rails while contributing meaningfully to our clients and working with a dedicated and passionate bunch of people, this could be a good fit for you.

The work will include

• Doing direct integrations with other systems (including governments and hopefully banks in the future).
• Expanding our API for other systems to integrate with us.
• Technical design and implementation of new features.
• Optimising for performance.
• Squashing bugs.
• Improving security.

Location

• Full-time or hybrid remote in our awesome Cape Town offices or fully remote anywhere within UTC+0 to UTC+8 time zones. Your choice.
• Cover Letter

In the "Additional Details" section of your application, please include:

• The time zone in which you reside,
• A link to a PR created or an issue logged for an open source project, and
• Tell us why you would like to join SimplePay specifically.
