About the Job
As an engineer at Passage youโll join our small team of two other developers in building one of the most feature rich and user friendly event ticketing platforms in the industry. Your day-to-day may consist of fixing bugs, updating user interfaces and performance tuning PostgreSQL database calls. However, youโll probably spend most of your time building exciting new features. We pride ourselves on how quickly weโre able to ship awesome new functionality for our clients. We try to do things โThe Rails Way.โ While we got sucked into the React world several years back, these days we prefer to render HTML on the server. Any front-end interaction we need comes from StimulusJS, StimulusReflex, and CableReady via ActionCable. We're also planing on utilizing Hotwire where applicable. Here are some actual projects you might work on at Passage:
An embeddable widget so clients can sell tickets through our platform directly from their own website
ViewComponent components for our revamped admin UI and ticket checkout UI
A mobile concession stand order queuing system
Group Ticket Sales - Offering special ticket packages to organizations
Expanding upon our already powerful promo code engine
A "custom fields" engine for collecting extra info from ticket purchasers
API endpoints for our mobile POS Android and iOS app
Reducing load on our servers by offloading the heavy lifting of credit card processing to the client
Stripping out our dependency on jQuery and implementing Turbolinks
An alternate authentication system to allow web-views in our mobile app
As an Engineer at Passage, we aren't just focused on getting a task done as quickly as possible but rather we are always thinking ahead. We're not programmers, we solve problems. We are a small team, and while we have leadership in place, we like to keep things flat. Your opinion is just as valuable as the CTOโs.
About You
Weโre looking for someone who not only loves software development, but is particularly passionate about Ruby on Rails. This is most definitely a โfull stackโ position and you should be comfortable with everything from the PaaS providers, to the database to CSS, to writing tests.
You prefer to work smarter rather than harder. Self management is a must-have trait at Passage. Youโll have the full support of our entire team and all the tools you need to be successful, but no one is going to look over your shoulder or hold your hand through every project. We value results, not whether youโre at your desk from 9-5 with your eyes glued to your computer. You might have a CS degree and that is great, but that isnโt necessarily an edge over someone without. We care about the work you do and how you do it.
Our engineering team is remote first. We have office space in Detroit that youโre welcome to use if you live in the area, but even folks in the office operate as if they were remote. You should be very comfortable communicating and working via tools like Asana, Slack and Github. While we are fully remote and we try to operate as asynchronously as possible, we require at least 4 hours overlap of your workday with 9am - 5pm US Eastern Time.
