About The Role This company, we do development differently. We believe in the original spirit of Agile, but follow a more light:weight product approach called ShapeUp across an integrated team. Instead of point:tracking and isolated departments, we give the "build team" trust and flexibility to get things done.Product cycles are fixed:time, not fixed:scope, which means we're "scope hammering" along the way to get code out the door. The build team is anticipating, communicating and leveraging our awesome Slack:based Kanban tool. People are remote, work is asynchronous and meetings are only when absolutely needed.Planning works backwards from the deliverable and users are getting quality products in iterations instead of big code drops.As the Principal Software Engineer you'll be working within our microservices architecture, based on the Rails framework. You're an open source guru who will design and implement new systems, introduce new technologies, make calls, take ownership of the code and get things done.You're a developer at heart, but are also interested in the big picture and care a lot about users. You communicate clearly with colleagues, easily work across teams, and lend a helping handwhen needed. You understand the importance of teamwork in building something bigger than yourself.Here are some things we've worked on recently to give you a sense of what you'll be doing day:to:day:Leverage Ruby proc to build a flexible classification methodology for investment securitiesIntegrate StimulusJS with Rails to power fast asynchronous responses to user's investing behaviorsBuild an API that connects user generated data with the data management platformAggregate complex financial data within our ETL platform to improve maintainability and reliabilityBack:End Technologies RequiredRuby on RailsMySQLElasticsearchRedisDockerFront:End Technologies RequiredStimulus JS or Javascript ES6Tailwind CSSHTMLHTTPNice to have TechnologiesKubernetesMicroserviceReactGraph DatabaseSoft SkillsEntrepreneurialNatural leaderBuilder / Problem solver"Get things done" mentalityPassionExcellent communicationTeam playerAttention to detailNone
