Silverfin

Ruby Engineer


What can we offer you?

  • Actual, proper work-life balance
  • A salary range of €92.000 - €125.000 a year
  • Flexible working hours and possibility to work 100% remotely
  • Experienced engineers as mentors 
  • Personal growth training and opportunities
  • Join a distributed remote-first engineering team with 35 colleagues in 14 different countries on 2 continents 
  • A refreshing work environment with professional, friendly and welcoming colleagues
  • A €1200 yearly budget for conferences, courses, workshops or other expenses that will improve your skills
  • Two engineering retreats per year, somewhere in Europe 
  • Ten company-wide Wellbeing Days per year for all employees (once a month, except in July and August)

What will you work on?

  • A production SaaS application used by thousands of customers on a global scale.
  • Figuring out the best ways to solve a customer or business problem in close collaboration with a product manager, a product designer and other engineers 
  • User facing functionalities 
  • Maintenance, support and bug fixes of existing functionality

What are we looking for?

  • You’re experienced in both Ruby and Rails, and also understand where the boundaries lie between them. You can code in Ruby without any of Rails’ training wheels if necessary.
  • You have some experience using Javascript framework(s), understand the value of them, but also know when plain Javascript is enough.
  • You're interested in getting to know our customers to find the best solution for a given challenge. 
  • You code with reason and can justify the important decisions you made during development.
  • You can communicate clearly in English, both in writing and verbally.
  • You know and can apply best practices when relevant. That means the daily tools of the trade like version control, testing, and refactoring; but also higher level concepts such as good object oriented design.
  • You're aware of the trade-offs involved in proper engineering and can make balanced business decisions, keeping in mind all the stakeholders of the project.

Requirements

  • You have at least 2 years of experience working with Ruby, or 1 year of experience with Ruby and 3 years in one or more other programming languages
  • You have some experience using Javascript framework(s), understand the value of them, but also know when plain Javascript is enough
  • Your work hours have some overlap with EU business hours (we require your local timezone to be within CET +/- 3h)
  • You can communicate clearly in English, both in writing and verbally

Nice to haves

These would be nice but are definitely not necessary. Don’t worry if none of the following applies to you.

  • Experience as a remote worker in a fully remote team
  • Experience working with large datasets and the problems they bring
  • Experience in Fintech
  • Accounting knowledge

If you’re any good at Ruby, this is probably not the first job ad you’ve seen, so we’ve done our best to stand out while also accurately presenting what we’re all about.
