If you're not familiar with concepts like SOLID, OOP, inheritance and refactoring please do not apply. \n\n**Who I am:**\n\nI'm Marc Köhlbrugge, the founder of BetaList, Startup Jobs, WIP, and others. I'm doing a lot of different work activities (development, design, sales, marketing, etc). You'll be working directly with me.\n\n**What you'll work on:**\n\nAs mentioned before you'll work on Startup Jobs, BetaList, and WIP. The codebases are quite similar. We'll start off simple with just one codebase.\n\nYou'll be working the full stack. Both back-end (Ruby on Rails) and front-end (HTML, CSS, Javascript). You'll also design basic screens, but you don't need to be a great designer.\n\nSome examples GitHub issues that we'll be working on soon:\n\n* Replace location auto-complete on Startup Jobs with a new source because Algolia Places is deprecated\n* Allow one-click unsubscribes from WIP notifications and onboarding emails on \n* Add regular email signup to BetaList (currently only supports Twitter OAuth)\n\n**Tech stack**\n\n* Ruby on Rails 6\n* Devise, and other popular gems\n* Rspec, Capybara\n* Hotwire / Turbo / Stimulus\n* HAML (Easy to learn if you don't know it)\n* Heroku and Render for hosting (I expect minimal DevOps work)\n\n**How we'll work:**\n\nWe'll communicate via Telegram chat with maybe a call every other month or so. I prefer to work asynchronously as much as possible. We'll use GitHub Issues and Pull Requests to manage our workflow.\n\nTypically your day will start by looking at the GitHub Issues I assigned to you. They will provide a high-level view of a feature, bug to fix, etc. I'll leave it up to you of if you need more details, or are comfortable filling it yourself.\n\nIf any questions come up throughout the day, we discuss via chat. For more in-depth discussions we use GitHub Issues.\n\nOnce your PR is ready I'll review it. I might have a few questions or make some minor suggestions. After you implement them, we'll merge the PR into master and it gets deployed to production.\n\nI'm an experienced Ruby developer myself, so hopefully we can learn from each other.\n\n**What you'll get**\n\n* Money\n* Work on cool products used by people like yourself\n* First-row seat at what it's like to build a small, bootstrapped business \n* Lots of freedom and responsibility\n* Bad jokes and memes\n\n**What to expect from the interviewing process**\n\nThe interview process will be mostly async because that’s what work will be like. I'll try to provide helpful feedback if you don't get picked.\n\n**Round 1**\n\n* Ask me any questions you might have before applying ( [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) )\n* Apply by filling out the questionnaire.\n* I'll review all applicants and might ask follow-up questions\n* I'll let you know if you made it through to the next round\n\nPlease only apply if you can share a codebase you worked on. I can't assess your abilities without seeing examples. \n\n**Round 2**\n\nYou will record ~20 minute video where you walk-through some of your code. Topics to include:\n\n* An example of where you made a structural code change through extraction or another refactoring technique. Ideally you could show this using a Pull Request to make it clear what exactly changed. \n* Test coverage of some kind. Integration with Capybara/RSpec would be most relevant, but use whatever you have.\n* Show off a pragmatic solution to a technical challenge (e.g. simple solution to add a valuable product feature)\n* Basic design you came up with. I don’t expect you to be a great designer. But you might implement basic UI elements yourself without help of a designer.\n* Front-end javascript. Ideally something with Hotwire (Stimulus, Turbo, etc).\n\nOf course you're free to include this in your initial application.\n\n**Round 3 – Final**\n\nI expect 3-5 candidates to reach this stage. I will pay you to do a short pilot project. I review the work and pick a candidate. \n\nPlease mention the words **IGNORE NIGHT HIGH** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xNDY=).

\nWork Location\n\nHome Office or any SUSE Location near the CET Timezone\n\n\nOur Product \n\nAt this position you will work on the Open Build Service (OBS). A Linux release engineering platform to collaborate on building and distributing software. The OBS helps SUSE to ship software to its customers. For a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures.\n\n\nOur Team \n\nWe are a team of Web Developers spread all over Europe. Most of us work from home, a few of us you find in the SUSE headquarter in Nuremberg/Germany. All of us focus on the full stack that makes up our application. From UI/UX design using HTML/CSS/Javascript, over Creating Business Logic with Ruby on Rails to Data Modeling on our SQL database. We also practice the DevOps culture and Operate & Observe our code in production environments. This means each and every one of us takes care of the complete life cycle of the code we produce. We conceive, write, test, instrument, deploy, roll back and debug our code! We also believe in the agile principles and organize our work together in the SCRUM framework. https://openbuildservice.org/bs-team\n\nThis position will report to the Engineering Manager of the team, Hendrik Vogelsang.\n\n\nOur Values \n\nHere is what we identify as our team culture and how those attitudes translate into our daily practices. We are looking for people whose personal values have some overlap with ours. We value: Customers. By understanding peoples’ goals, needs and their limitations. Everything we build and change, everything we do, we do for the people using our product. Diversity, pluralism and freedom of choice. We think differences, not uniformity, in origin, circumstance and experience make people, the practice of software development and in the end, our product interesting. We believe it takes a diverse set of people to produce a product truly useful for everyone. Ownership. Instead of hiding behind processes, or driving relentlessly towards individual goals, we take ownership of the entire situation. We do that when things go smooth but also when things go wrong. No matter if they were in, or out of our control. No matter if that hurts and bruises our ego. It was never anyone else’s fault, it was ours. We believe ownership is how we respect others. Collaboration. By working toward shared goals, in a horizontal structure with flexible leadership. We do not only share results with each other, but how we got there. We constantly reflect our behavior and how it brings everyone else forward with us. We win together, we lose together. Quality. By taking due time, avoiding shortcuts, pacing ourselves. By being critical of what we do and by welcoming critique from others. We always leave our code base, processes and team better than we have found it. Community. By curiously exploring what other people inside and outside this industry think, do and produce. We expose ourselves to all kinds of ideas and openly share our own views. We strive for personal growth by continuously learning about other people, technology, development methodologies and efforts. We are open minded, always evolving adventurers\n\n\nPerks \n\nApart from the usual benefits of working for an established software engineering enterprise (competitive pay, rewards, established career ladder etc.) we can make the following happening for you. We are all about a healthy work life balance. You join a company that’s still growing fast and yet is over a quarter century old. We didn’t get here by burning out people. At SUSE we believe that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring. That is why we provide flexible working hours, a flexible vacation policy and access to professional life & career coaching. We’ll give our best to help you maximize your well-being, because we are in it for the long run. We are all about creating opportunities for personal growth. You will have a personal budget for autonomous learning (O’Reilly/Linkedin Learning etc.) and for visiting industry events. The team spends every other Friday afternoon together sharing what they got inspired by. We frequently practice pair programming and kick off projects in mob programming. Every week you will have the opportunity to attend exciting lunch & learn sessions by SUSE industry experts. We also run company wide hackathons (Hack Week) multiple times a year where you are free to work on any activity of your passion for a week! We want you to become a better engineer. We are all about hacker culture following the community best practices. Most things you do for SUSE will be open source. We expect you to contribute back upstream. We encourage you to openly share your own views with the global Free Software community. That means you can spend the majority of your work time on your public track record. Your public code and collaboration will be your next resume!\n\n\nYour Responsibilities \n\nWe are looking for someone with strong Ruby on Rails experience. You should also be well-versed in HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Experience with site reliability is a plus but not a requirement. We require a strong proficiency in English (spoken and written) and the ability to convey what you want to other people. You might have a computer science degree, you might not have any formal education like that. That is not what we are looking for. You might have spend 20 years in our industry or 2. That is not what matters to us. We care about what you can do and how you do it, not about how you got here.\n\nHere is what the team does day in day out:\n\n\nPublic Open Source Software Development \n\nAs the Open Build Service is a Free Software project, you ideally have a background in this development method.\n\n• Implementing features/bug fixes for the product • Improve quality and lower technical debt of the product\n\n• Review and evaluate code/issue submissions from other developers and customers\n\n• Cooperate with the team and other stakeholders to align plans in an agile fashion\n\n• Document features, workflows and concepts\n\n\nSite Reliability Engineering\n\nAs we are practicing the DevOPS culture, you ideally know how to do\n\n• Continuous integration of the product with other software in the stack\n\n• Continuous deployment\n\n• Monitoring the health and performance of deployments\n\n• Incident management\n\n• Infrastructure management \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Full Stack, Web Developer, Developer, Digital Nomad, DevOps, English, Education, Ruby and Linux jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
