\nProduct Engineer\nHigh level stuff you might be filtering against ๐\nLocation: Remote (UK timezone +/- 6 hrs generally). In the UK we will hire you as an employee. In other countries youโll need to be setup as a contractor initially.\nType: Full-time\nSalary: Location dependent. As a reference, our current range in the UK is ยฃ75k to ยฃ110k. If you will work from another location, you should map this to your equivalent market rate to be competitive. We are open to negotiation as we recognise there are different situations, but these are our general guardrails.\n\n\nWhat I am looking for\n๐ Hi, Iโm Martin, VP of Engineering at Zen Educate and Iโm looking for engineers who can make an impact on the real world problem of education staffing, and do it through engineering excellence.\n\n\nEvery place has its own understanding of what engineering excellence looks like (sometimes written down, sometimes not). Hereโs what it means to me and Zen:\nโข Valuing real world outcomes and shared learning over output\nโข Product thinking over pure tech - start with the problem, ship quickly and iterate. \nโข Team success and sustainability over individual heroics. \n\n\nWe are a small, but mighty team and so every engineer has the opportunity to make an outsized impact and put their stamp on what excellence looks like in practice. What do I mean by โsmallโ? Today we have 4 product teams and 24 engineers including Tech Lead Managers and Principals.\n\n\nWe recognise the world is not static - โwhat got us here, wonโt get us thereโ - so we look for curiosity, adaptability and proactiveness as fundamental traits. The engineers I see be the most successful are those who focus on solving problems, look to help others and just happen to typically leverage technology to do so.\n\n\nSo whether youโre passionate about building great products, scaling systems, or improving team processes, youโll thrive at Zen if you care deeply about users, focus on real-world outcomes, pursue continuous learning and strive to make others better ๐ช\n\n\nWhat we are building and why\nGetting the right teacher into the right school at the right time is a crucial problem to solve, both for education outcomes for children and for the sustainability of an industry that spends billions on this.\n\n\nToday the platform we are building supports internal operations teams on filling roles, educators on finding roles via our mobile app and schools on getting educators in for both short-term and long-term roles. The more we develop the platform (and the ability to self-serve in the marketplace), the more efficient the whole process becomes, which means more money going back to educators and into classrooms (over ยฃ30 million since 2017). \n\n\nWe are well established in the UK and growing at a phenomenal rate in the US ๐\n\n\nWhat we need now is to reach the next level in how we build our platform to support this growth. Thatโs where you come in ๐\n\n\nWhat the role looks like in practice\nIโve written a bunch of words above that I hope capture your interest and excitement โจ. But what really matters is what reality looks like and the best people to share that are the existing engineers on the team. So here are a few glimpses from your potential peers of some of what they have done in a week:\n\n\nโI liaised with the Finance team to help re-run a set of invoices that originally failed from our automated invoice service, and I helped implement a feature to convert a long term booking into a job role - to more accurately reflect how teachers work and track job conversions. Then I shared some design feedback for a booking credit system that was initially less well defined.โ - Jai\n\n\nโI implemented a compensation system that will cover the additional fees for teachers, which will allow schools to book needed teachersโ - Kamil\n\n\nโI was updating the job details view in our React Native app to show more information to teachers about the school and job dates to make the job offers more attractive and useful. I also upgraded our backend Rails app to use latest version of Ruby, Sidekiq, Rack and Pumaโ - Adrian\n\n\nโI started the week by pushing some small updates to our React Native app, and then finished the week by shipping a feature to improve the experience of schools finding teachers and managing to clean up a bunch of legacy code in the process.โ - Chris\n\n\nโI explored the feasibility of using Google Document AI to extract data from documents uploaded by candidates and validate them, improving automation for our onboarding process" - Lucas\n\n\nโI implemented backend and frontend MixPanel events for crucial workflows to better understand how users interact with our product and what we can improve on." - Georgi\n\n\nโI spent some time monitoring Sentry to spot performance trends and debug issues. I also built an automated rota in Coda for our Native release process, before reviewing Product Refinement Docs and contributing to shaping the solutions.โ - Ethan\n\n\nWhat you might like or dislike \nEvery place makes tradeoffs based on what they value and where they are in their journey โ๏ธ. Hereโs a list of things you might find useful in figuring out if this is the right role for you. If we end up chatting, feel free to dig deeper into any of them. Note that some of these are recent changes in our approach and may be โwork in progressโ when you join.\n\n\n๐ป How We Work\nโข Boring tech for the obvious, experimentation for the rest. Our core is Ruby on Rails, React, React Native, running on Heroku + Cloudflare etc. But we have also evaluated Amazon Personalise as a candidate for our matching system and spiked out our own AI powered knowledge-base. \nโข Process serves performance. We use agile sprints and other structure to support, but our focus is on outcomes not following rules. Greater performance gives greater freedom - think โMaster your instrument, master the music, and then forget all that and just play.โ\nโข Engineers as problem shapers (not ticket takers). Youโll thrive here if you want to shape problems, not just deliver tickets. Our Product Managers and Designers are partners you pull on for leverage rather than task givers who hide the users away.\nโข Daily shipping culture. We ship regularly and want to get even better at it. We are investing in this and welcome those whoโll help us start smaller and iterate faster.\n\n\n๐ฑ Growth & Progression\nโข Choose your own career path. We care more about impact and learning than rigid competency grids. This means greater flexibility in what progression looks like, but requires you to build an understanding of what we value from guiding principles and shared real-world examples.\nโข Few Titles, infinite Levels. We use Levels instead of Titles to show growth in a Role. You wonโt see titles like Associate, Senior, or Staff here. Instead, you can grow continuously by getting better at your current role - e.g. working faster, safer, and more independently. Changing roles is possible too, but depends on business needs, since different roles aim for different business outcomes and typically use different skills.\nโข Investment over reward as a mindset. Level changes are tightly coupled to compensation changes. Confidence in a Level change is based on sustainably doing great work at your current level. We think it is fairer to invest in what you do next, rather than reward you doing the next Level first for free!\n\n\n๐ธ Compensation\nโข Market reality. Compensation is based on your competitiveness in your local hiring market (note thatโs not just where you live). We donโt believe anyone has found a great solution to global compensation, so we aim instead to be clear and equitable in how we do it.\nโข Solid, but not flashy compensation. We pay decently, but we wonโt beat out companies with deeper pockets (yet!).\nโข Think long term investment. If you are in a place where you need to prioritise immediate financial gain then this probably isnโt the right time to join us.\n\n\n๐ค Team Culture & Collaboration\nโข Distributed engineering team. Solid communication skills and async habits are key to be effective. Youโll find strong connection here, but not through engineering getting together in-person. If you like the buzz of working near others you are welcome to work from one of our offices, but there wonโt be many engineers there on any given day.\nโข We believe in impact and measurable outcomes, alongside shared learning. If your work moves the needle or teaches us something meaningful then thatโs a win. If not, then weโll want to understand why. \nโข Balanced, sustainable work. Long hours are not a badge of honour - they are an indication something isnโt working well. We value a sustainable pace and healthy teams.\nโข Diversity is good in some ways and lacking in others. You might be the first of something here. That matters and weโll support appropriately if you are.\n\n\nHow we hire\nHire fast, fix fast. Hiring today is...not great, with most companies being too cautious and taking too long to make a decision ๐ฆ. We move quicker - our ideal is: apply Monday, offer by Friday. Then we invest heavily in the most important part - your onboarding. We ensure you are setup for success, with clear direction, experience of different teams and shipping to production within days.\n\n\nWhilst fast doesnโt mean frivolous, it does slightly increase the risk that you or we made a mistake. So we include regular check-ins during onboarding to make sure expectations match reality. If either side feels something is off then we try to fix it fast. And sometimes that will mean saying โletโs not carry onโ with respect.\n\n\nReal talk. We believe in being direct and authentic. Weโll share the good, the messy and the challenges. We recognise we wonโt have all the answers, still have much to learn, and thatโs all part of the fun of this wild ride ๐. We expect the same from you - after all we are just a bunch of humans trying to do great work together.\n\n\nMindset, not tools. We hire for how you think and create leverage, not what specific tools youโve used before. To us, experience is just another tool - it is only valuable through how you leverage it. Curiosity, adaptability, product thinking - those are the durable qualities in a changing world. And we value different opinions, so ensure you share yours - have a point of view, maybe debate a little and we will respect that.\n\n\nAlways open to great people. We are always hiring and happy to chat even if the timing isnโt quite right. Thatโs why you might see this job post open for a long time. We are not collecting resumes or doing stealth market research, we just believe in the power of serendipity. To make that more transparent - right now we have a clear need for at least 2 more engineers in the team.\n\n\nOkay, so what will the actual process look like? ๐\nโข Recruiter quick chat. Our recruiter will check you are human, can communicate effectively and cover some of the basics like compensation, benefits and availability.\nโข Technical expertise. We will do a paired session with a twist - we will be the ones sharing our screen and writing the code. So come prepared to ask questions, drive progress with another engineer and dig through an ambiguous past problem in our codebase.\nโข Product thinking. Chat to either our CPTO or a Product Manager about how youโve demonstrated a product mindset in the past. Or if you havenโt had opportunity to do that, tell us why and what youโd do differently with us. \nโข Role chat. This will be with me and Iโll be wanting to understand how you think and approach the role and engineering excellence. Iโll start by asking you the question you include in your application. And Iโll want to dig into your answers so that this becomes more of a conversation and shared exploration than a Q&A session ๐. \n\n\nAfter the recruiter chat, the remaining sessions can happen in any order and as quickly as our schedules can align. You could do them all in a day if you want or spread them out a bit.\n\n\nOnce interviewers have shared their feedback from each session we do an internal debrief - thatโs where we discuss what we are excited about you for in the role, any challenges we see and whether we think we can mitigate them at this time. From there we will make a decision and either proceed to offer or tell you that we not offering. \n\n\nWe believe feedback is important, but also know not everyone wants it - so we donโt share it by default. If youโd like feedback after the process, just let us know. Note that weโll frame the feedback from our perspective of why we did or did not have the confidence rather than as a commentary on you.\n\n\nInterested? Letโs go!\nIf you read all of the above and are excited (maybe even a little nervous) about the opportunity and how we work then I recommend applying now! If you skipped or skimmed the above, feel free to apply anyway but youโre missing a bunch of useful information that could streamline the process for you ๐\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n

Aha! engineering is a mid-sized, fully remote team. We are centered around North American time zones so we can collaborate during the workday.\n\n# Our core values\n* The Responsive Method: These 8 principles drive how we operate Aha! and serve customers and employees.\n* Moving quickly: We ship code multiple times a day. We believe in getting new features in front of customers and iteratively improving as we learn what works and what does not.\n* Product over process: We want our engineers to have the time and focus to solve complex challenges. We aim to minimize the overhead introduced by heavyweight processes and excessive meetings.\n* Collaboration: We each bring unique experiences and skills to the table. Working together to share that knowledge benefits the entire team and helps us produce the best results for our customers.\n\n# Who we're looking for\nWe believe that being a kind person who elevates the rest of the team is just as valuable as writing great code. We look for strong problem-solving skills and experience working on important functionality for a cloud-based product. We need people who are humble, eager to learn, and always willing to help others learn as well. We want to work with people who enjoy picking up a problem and solving it, regardless of the technologies and techniques involved.\n\nMost of our features involve writing significant Ruby on Rails code, so we need meaningful past experience working in a Rails codebase. We also write a lot of React, but we are happy to help you learn that part on the job.\n\n# Our technology\nOur sole product is the Aha! web application. It is a single-instance, multi-tenant Ruby on Rails monolith supported by Postgres (database), Redis (background jobs), and memcached (Rails caching). We also run a Node.js webserver to support collaborative editing and real-time updates. Our application is hosted on Amazon Web Services and architected with ECS for reproducibility and scalability.\n\nWe utilize a growing amount of React on the frontend to build rich client-side experiences, including our fully collaborative text editor and our slide presentation editor. We balance the strengths of both technologies โ Rails for its conventions and simplicity and React for more powerful interactive functionality.\n\nWe embrace new technologies that help us deliver a lovable product, but we also remain cognizant of the maintenance overhead that a new library or platform brings. We solve the problems in front of us rather than prematurely optimizing to address issues that may never materialize.\n\nWe do most of our collaboration and planning in Aha! itself, which we find especially rewarding. We also utilize GitHub, Slack, and GoToMeeting for video calls.\n\n# What youโll be doing\nWe work on a broad range of features across the full stack. Your work will include:\n\n* Implementing new features for our users, touching each layer of the MVC as needed\n* Building deeply interactive reporting interfaces using React\n* Working proactively with product and UX to refine and iterate on specifications as the feature takes shape\n* Investigating slow performance and optimizing queries to ensure Aha! is snappy and satisfying to use\n* Interfacing directly with users to quickly squash bugs as part of our regular customer support rotation\n* Documenting components in our style guide to help drive consistency\n\nIf this sounds appealing, we would love to hear from you.

Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.

## About us\n\n[Eleos Technologies](https://eleostech.com/) is a growing 8-year-old company building communication software for truck drivers and field workers.\n\nWe're helping a diverse mix of customersโfrom mom and pop operations to household namesโimprove how they communicate with their employees by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.\n\nOur engineering team has been 100% distributed since day one. This means we're tooled up to handle product, architectural, technical, and ops work all from home or remote. You won't miss out of office conversations, and you won't have to learn to drive a telepresence robot.\n\nWe offer robust healthcare (dental, medical, vision), paid time off, and a generous equipment budget.\n\n## About the role\n\nYou'll be the primary caretaker of the Erlang web application powering our product, as well as collaborating Ruby on Rails services and the virtual infrastructure they run on.\n\nBecause the Erlang system has no direct user interface, you'll work closely with our iOS, Android, and frontend web engineers to evolve the backend's functionality to solve new problems, all while improving performance and ensuring reliability.\n\nYou'll be helping us make our development cycles more efficient by owning the technical design and implementation of new features, extending our automated test suite to reduce the need for manual testing, and shipping fixes on a regular basis.\n\nYou'll have opportunities to flex your skills around automated deployments, automated testing, tracing and visibility, and learn from others in a collaborative environment.\n\nIn time, you'll also help onboard and mentor junior engineers as we grow our team.\n\nThis is a full-time position open to anyone who can work legally in the United States.\n\n## About you\n\nWe're looking for a senior-level engineer to own the backend systems powering our product.\n\n### Key skills\n\n* 4+ years professional experience implementing and operating HTTP web services\n* 2+ years professional experience working with Erlang, Elixir, or another functional programming language like Clojure or Haskell\n **Or:** Substantive OSS contributions in these languages, in lieu of professional experience\n* Confident use of SQL, relational storage, and key/value storage to optimize for correctness and performance\n* A willingness to mentor other engineers and to share your knowledge to help them grow\n* The ability to quickly convey ideas, opinions, and technical details in written English\n* Ability to participate in an on-call rotation to respond to and resolve (rare โญ๏ธ) major incidents and outages affecting our stack\n* Able to work 8-5 Eastern Standard Time ยฑ 3 hours, to facilitate realtime collaboration when needed\n\nThe following aren't requirements, but be sure to mention them if they apply to you:\n\n* Experience working with Amazon Web Services or one of the other major cloud providers, with an emphasis on configuration languages and infrastructure-as-code\n* Experience with Docker or other common containerization platforms\n* A working knowledge of Ruby or JavaScript\n\n### Technologies\n\nWe take a "reasoned opinions, weakly held" approach to tools, and resist letting those tools define our identity. That said, we've had positive experiences with (and made significant investments in) the following, which does mean you'll be working with them at least in the medium term:\n\n* Erlang/OTP (using the Cowboy and Hackney libraries heavily)\n* Ruby on Rails\n* Clojure\n* PostgreSQL\n* Amazon Web Services\n\nIf this sounds like a fun challenge and your kind of environment, drop us a line and let's talk! \n\nPlease mention the words **BROOM LOVE MOON** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMjQ=). This is a feature to avoid spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they're human.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n
