Remote Developer + DevOps + Rails + Recruitment + Ruby Jobs

We, at **Rasayel** (https://rasayel.io), are a small, sharp-focused and deliberate team. We built Rasayel to connect businesses to the most popular messaging channels (WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, etc) out there. We started small with a stellar group of designers, engineers, and product folks. We do dream big, and we have plenty of big plans **and we have just closed our seed round with some ambitious investors in the US & EU**. We want to tackle our next set of exciting challenges in the next years to come and this is where YOU come in the picture, we want your help for us to do so. You will get to work with product, engineering and design folks who are ex **Intercom**, and **Instabug** as well as folks who built popular open source libraries like vee-validate.
