Requirements

About you

We’re looking for candidates with 5+ years experience. Candidates should have deep knowledge of either back end (Rails) or front end (Javascript) technologies with the ability to debate technology decisions up and down the stack.

This position will not have direct reports but will require aspects of leadership for a specific client and/or development team. These aspects of leadership require an individual to demonstrate ownership of features which require research and a clear articulation of pros / cons of available implementation strategies. Furthermore, the role requires a consultative approach which seeks to develop a consensus on major decisions within the entire team (Trineo and our customers). Our point of view is that a decision made with research, peer review and collaboration is one which will have the most sustainable outcome for everyone.

If you’re a good candidate for this position, here are some characteristics you embody:

  • Must be highly articulate in a back end and/or front end technology, with a preference for Ruby and/or Javascript
  • Experience working across the entire stack
  • Comfortable writing SQL queries, optimizing query performance and DB design.
  • Experience with the development and consumption of APIs
  • Experience with the development of frontend applications that consume aforementioned APIs
  • Excellent working knowledge of Git
  • Experience working with cloud hosting technologies (ie Heroku and AWS)
  • Experience with optimizing high performance applications under significant load
  • Thrive when working within an Agile team
  • Enjoy working in a cross functional team composed of UX, BA, PM, Development
  • Experience working with a distributed / remote team

Our typical stack and methodology:

  • Development: Ruby, Rails, Javascript, Webpack, React, CSS/SASS, HTML
  • Data: Postgres, Redis
  • Testing: Rspec, Capybara, Jest, CI, BrowserStack
  • Infrastructure: a strong understanding of cloud platforms: Heroku, AWS componentry and a decent handle on Unix
  • We also adhere to agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban), continuous integration, test driven development, consistent peer review and pair programming.


Bonus Points

  • Service Oriented and Monolithic Architecture.
  • Identity Management (Authentication and Authorization).
  • A thorough understanding of security principles, common exploits and an interest in recent advisories and corresponding mitigation strategies.
