Remote Front End + JavaScript + React + Ruby + UI Jobs

\nOur Senior Full Stack Engineers are passionate about delivering high quality software, on both our backend and frontend services. They also coach and learn from their colleagues, and constantly better themselves and the people around them. \nAbout SH:24\n \nFirst off, thank you for considering a role with us!\nSH:24 is a pioneering online sexual and reproductive health service, delivered in partnership with the NHS. We make it easy for people to self-manage their sexual and reproductive health online by providing free STI test kits, contraception & treatment, information and advice - 24 hours a day. Weve won a host of awards and industry recognition for what we do, and were happy to say that our reach and services offered are expanding every day.\nWe are not-for-profit and passionate about delivering discreet, convenient and clinically safe sexual health services. Our vision is to make it easier and faster for people to access sexual and reproductive health services, no matter where they live; weve been doing it since 2013. Were also proud of our community and the people who work for us; those who have helped us shape a company that puts our users at the heart of everything we do by designing services that are easy to use, easy to access and easy to understand by all that need them.\nThe Role\nOur Development Team has recently split into four distinct workstreams to better focus on specific projects and keep context over several months of sustained work. These four streams have responsibilities that span a mix of BAU, Support and tool-improvement, as well as several new projects and the creation of customer-facing sites. We are looking for Senior Full Stack Engineers to help populate these new teams. \nAt SH:24 we like to keep our stack relatively straight-forward: we build our software primarily in Ruby, most of which is within Ruby on Rails. We have a mixture of full stack Ruby on Rails applications and REST APIs serving React components and in the near future we will look to principally build out our front-end in React. Additionally, all our applications run on AWS, with a deep stack of EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, Elasticache, all managed using Terraform. Every project is run through CircleCI and we deploy to most of them several times a day.\nWere big followers of Agile and have daily stand-ups, as well as weekly estimating sessions, refinement sessions, retrospectives, and other Agile ceremonies. We use Clubhouse.io as a kanban/project management tool. We also love pairing and you can expect to work closely with your team either through screen-sharing or, hopefully soon, in person!\n\nWhat We Need From You\n \n You'll be either an expert in Ruby or an experieneced polyglot with little Ruby experience as well as having a good knowledge of object oriented programming. Youll have extensive experience of working on a delivery team shipping a product to users. \nYoull have been involved in the front-end side of at least one product, and have a good grasp of what it takes to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to make a robust and accessible UI for users. Any experience with modern front-end frameworks such as Gatsby or Next.js will be a bonus. \nYoull also have a good knowledge of databases and how they relate to ORMs. An understanding of SQL and DB performance at scale would be a real advantage. \nYoull have worked in an environment where developers are exposed to managing cloud infrastructure. You have a working knowledge of AWS and containerisation basics: Virtual servers, networking, Docker and Kubernetes. \nWell expect you to be able to work on entire features from inception through to delivery. Youll be able to assist in planning and architecture decisions throughout our service and communicate those decisions to other members of the team. \nWe are big testers here. Wed hope you are too, as well as following good design principles for creating code. You might not know what every letter of SOLID means (although it wouldnt hurt!) but you should be interested to learn and have a good understanding of what it means to create great code. \nYoull have worked in an Agile environment and be comfortable with its ceremonies and deploying regularly. In time, well need you to join our on-call rota for out of hours support. This is shared amongst all members of the development team and youll be compensated for those times that youre on-call. Finally, and most importantly, you will love to learn, share knowledge and help others. The team at SH:24 is great because we provide the support to each other for everyone to perform well.\nWhat Youll Get From Us\nWe are always interested in upskilling our employees, and are flexible in ways to do it: be it courses, books, onsite or remote learning with a colleague - whatever suits the situation best. If there is a particular skill or product you would like to work on and improve, well always try to accommodate you. \nWere also keen to allow the team to work in the way they want - you can choose the OS of your machine, your chair, standing desk, dual monitors etc. If there is anything you need dont be afraid to ask. \nAs well as remuneration in the region of £60-85k based on experience, SH:24 provides a number of other benefits, including 25 days of annual holiday (in addition to the days between Christmas and New Year), truly flexible working, excellent pension contributions and life insurance.\nEquality and Diversity\n \nAs an employer, SH:24 is committed to inclusivity.\nWe want to increase representation of currently under-represented groups to make SH:24 more diverse.\nBuild an inclusive team, where everyone is able to be themselves at work and feel supported, empowered, valued, respected, fairly treated and able to achieve their full potential.\nAs an inclusive employer we will not tolerate discrimination.\n\nInterview Process\nThe SH:24 interview process comprises three main sections: \n1. An interview with a member of the product team or senior management. This is primarily a culture-fit interview but also allows you to get a feel for the company and ask any final questions that may have come up through the process. \n2. A take-home code test. This is usually completed in Ruby but let us know if you'd like to complete it in another language. As an alternative we're also open to looking at any public code you can send us.\n3. A pairing interview, consisting of a conversation with two members of the team, along with a pairing exercise relating to the code test submitted. Usually well request an additional feature or suggest a possible refactor for you to try. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Senior, Engineer, Full Stack, React, JavaScript, Cloud, CSS, Ruby and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

**Your responsibilities**\n\nWe’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to contribute to building our core product and help with ongoing maintenance.\n\n**Your qualifications**\n\n* **Ruby & Rails:** Extremely knowledgeable and proficient in both Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Our main application is a large and complex Ruby on Rails app and requires some deep knowledge to navigate efficiently. Given our small team size, we work with a monolithic application and only break off services when absolutely necessary to keep overhead low. We utilize rails views (ERB) when we can and use React when the UI calls for it. Note that we have a mini ruby project that we’d like to use to help in evaluating skill level.\n\n* **Javascript & React:** Solid understanding and ability to work in React with Redux. Some areas of our application involve complex React apps, backed by Redux state.\n\n* **Postgres & ActiveRecord:** History of working with Postgres and interfacing with Postgres through ActiveRecord. Being able to think about potential performance implications while working through projects is very helpful.\n\n* **Full Stack Focused:** We are a small team and our projects therefore involve working on both the frontend and backend feature set in parallel to complete projects. Having a generalist mentality is very helpful here.\n\n* **Testing:** Experience writing rspec tests as well as proven ability to be able to reason through what and when to test.\n\n* **Navigating & Internalizing Existing Codebases:** Proven history of jumping into existing, complex codebases and becoming productive. Independence and mindset is a key attribute here. While we anticipate there being a learning curve and assisting in that learning, the ability to just dive in and be able to figure things out independently is a huge help during the learning process.\n\n* **Debugging, Diagnosing & Investigating Issues:** A large part of the job includes investigating and diagnosing application bugs or customer issues. Proven ability to reason through these issues to diagnose problems, present some potential solutions, and convey these issues and solutions in a clear manner to our support team is important.\n\n* **Writing & Communication:** History of very explicit, clear, and detailed communication including pull requests, git commits, documentation, and general team interactions.\n\n* **GitHub:** Proficiency with Git, comfortable using GitHub as primary code and project management platform.\n\n* **Working Remotely:** Proficiency and experience with working remotely.\n\n* **English Proficiency:** Comfortable clearly and accurately presenting ideas and documenting work in writing (90% of work at Loomly happens asynchronously). \n\nPlease mention the words **FORTUNE OCTOBER COMMON** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMDA=). 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 $120,000 — $180,000/year\n

At [Podia](https://www.podia.com), we’re building the best platform on the planet for creators to sell online courses, digital downloads, webinars, and memberships.\nWe’re a fully-remote company, we've been around for a few years, have helped creators earn millions, and we’re growing fast…\n…*really* fast.\nThat’s where you come in 😉\nWe’re looking for **a full-stack Rails developer** to help us continue building modern frontend user experiences, while still sticking to The Rails Way as closely as possible, and scaling the platform for tens-of-thousands of creators and millions of customers.\n## What’s this job all about?\nWhile our other metrics are all "up and to the right!" 🚀 , we take a careful, considered approach to hiring. We're a small development team of eight (six men, two women), in a company of 24, and we typically only hire twice a year.\nEvery person on the dev team has an outsized impact on the product—each feature is often the product of just one or two developers working together with a designer—and you can be one of them.\nOne week you might be finishing off the redesign of a feature for our creators, the next you might be optimizing a SQL query to keep our storefronts running smoothly. We plan about three months in advance, but we pivot rapidly so you shouldn't expect those plans to be set in stone.\nEvery developer on the team works on:\n- Shipping new features to help our creators' businesses thrive\n- Polishing our existing features to improve our users' experience\n- Writing tests and fixing bugs in our code\n- Communicating their progress in regular Basecamp updates\n- Reviewing pull requests from other team members\n- Helping out our support team with customer issues during a regular week-long rotation\n- Paying down technical debt to keeping the codebase shiny\n- Deploying code to production, verifying it works as you expected, and taking a 24-hour on-call shift for when the worst happens (rarely! 🤞)\nYou can expect to be working with:\n- Ruby on Rails 6.1\n- PostgreSQL\n- Stimulus, StimulusReflex, CableReady, and React (in that order of most to least often)\n- Webpacker, Bootstrap, ViewComponent, ES6, and yarn to manage our UI code.\n- Sidekiq for background processing, including fun features like periodic jobs and batches\n- Heroku for everything\n- We also maintain integrations with many third-party APIs (PayPal, Stripe, Zapier and Drip, just to name a few)\n- A codebase with 1:1.3 code-to-test ratio, with almost 10K examples, that runs on our CI system in four minutes\nYou probably don’t know all these technologies inside out, and that’s okay! This is not a laundry list of requirements.\nIf you’re curious, you can read about [Podia’s engineering culture](https://jamie.ideasasylum.com/2020/07/17/podia-engineering-culture/) and [our current toolbox](https://jamie.ideasasylum.com/2021/01/01/tools-of-podia-2020-edition/) on our CTO’s blog.\n## Does this sound like you?\nIf you’re the developer we’re looking for, you’ll already be familiar and confident with Rails, with two to three years experience, and we’ll help you level-up those skills, learn new technologies like StimulusReflex and ViewComponent, and practice them on a complex web application with plenty of new challenges.\nYou will be based in [UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc) to [UTC+8](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc8) timezones to ensure a reasonable overlap with our current product team in Ireland, the US, Canada, and South America.\n"Full-stack" is an over-used term so let’s put it this way: Rails is our home turf and you'll feel comfortable and productive writing Ruby, building new feature in Rails, writing views in ERB, and using ActiveRecord. In addition, you'll probably have a few special areas of expertise or interest. Perhaps you enjoy playing with AWS infrastructure and using Terraform; perhaps you enjoy refactoring and using design patterns to make cleaner software; or you have a flair for user experience design and an eye for detail.\nHere's some skill gaps we have on the team which we'd like to fill in the short-term:\n- Modern JavaScript knowledge. Do you enjoy tweaking Webpack configuration, reducing JavaScript dependencies, and optimizing build pipelines? We don't write much JavaScript but, when we do, we want it to be modern and efficient.\n- CSS expert. Do you see a design and instantly understand which CSS attributes are required? Can you tweak Bootstrap variables to match our brand? Do you make designers happy with your pixel-perfect implementations?\n- Experience scaling Rails. Have you been through the easy stages of scaling a Rails app, and earned some hard-fought wins against the next few boss levels? When SELECT count(*) FROM customers; is too slow, you have several tried-and-tested strategies for speeding it up.\nThese are not definitive so don't exclude yourself if you don't fit one of these descriptions. We have many more needs and we'll find roles for any exceptional candidate.\n**Some other things you should be comfortable with:**\n- Communicating your progress clearly in Slack or Basecamp and highlighting blockers and risks early. Communication is a core competency ✍️\n- Collaborate with other team members either synchronously during an online pairing session (you can initially expect to be pairing for at least half your time) or asynchronously via pull requests 🍐\n- Working individually on solo projects without disappearing down a rabbit hole for days 🕳\n- Learning quickly, and developing confidently—because nothing is “someone else’s job” and there's always something new to learn 🦝\n- Lending a hand to your teammates (and customers) when the need arises. We’re tightly knit and supporting each other is a huge priority 🤝\n- Multiple competing (and sometimes shifting) priorities 😅\n- Staying calm under pressure. You remain cool even when Rollbar errors are pouring into Slack, background jobs clog up the Sidekiq queue, and the app grinds to a halt 🆘\n- Working remotely. Our team is spread across North America, South America, and Western Europe, and our headquarters is Slack 🌎\n## Why work at Podia?\n- Ultimate flexibility. We try to have some overlap time every day, but outside of that work whenever & wherever you work best 🗺️\n- Extreme autonomy. No micro-managing here. You’ll be given high-level direction and then left to solve it the way you feel is best. 📚\n- That said, the rest of the team is always ready to lend a hand—or even an ear if you just need to rubber duck some ideas 💡\n- You get to work with a small, highly-talented team that has built—and continues to build—our product with care. We’re not one of those “hire all the devs!” organizations that tries to grow too quickly 🎨\n- Whether it’s fixes, small tweaks, or substantial features, we deploy often. There’s zero red tape to slow you down 🚀\n- You’ll be working with a diverse team from a range of countries and backgrounds. We work hard to make Podia an inclusive workplace for everyone 🌈\n- We have a rapidly growing base of passionate customers. Your work will be seen and appreciated by many people ❤️\n- Competitive compensation. We want to hire the best people, and we’re ready to pay for them. We use a standardized salary scale set at the 90th percentile of US salaries for each role—regardless of where you are in the world 💰\n- Great benefits including three weeks paid vacation (plus another week during the December holidays), sabbaticals every three years, professional development credit, paid family leave, a new laptop every three years, and more ☺️\n- (Paid for) annual retreats to spend time with the team and have fun together (or a still-pretty-great virtual retreat when there’s a global pandemic) ✈️ \n\nPlease mention the words **VINTAGE PALACE SLOT** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMDA=). 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
