About the Product
We have built an integrated B2B software product, CapGuru. The platform helps manage equity ownership structures for private firms and enables them to control all their documents and issue securities from a single place.
About the Position
This position has both high autonomy and high responsibility – the company’s executive leadership has a clear vision to execute, but it will be up to you to drive the execution. That’s why we need someone who’s confident, friendly, well-reasoned, and internally motivated.
You would be responsible for understanding the business domain, becoming familiar with the architecture of the Rails app, understanding and clarifying the specs provided by the business, reviewing bug reports, ticketing issues in GitHub, performing code reviews, executing some high-complexity code yourself, and generally guiding the team.
This position is 100% remote. We offer compensation based on experience, some very cool engineering challenges, and a smart team that’s great to work with.
About You
You have at least 8 years of serious web development experience, and you’ve been a productive member of a successful dev team before. You’re a thoughtful, effective communicator who could lead a small team. As a leader, you’re deeply considerate of your work – before you execute anything, you consider how it fits the business goals, and whether it’s the best way to proceed. You feel comfortable recommending improvements and alternatives. You know how to handle responsibility. You’re confident you can hit the ground running.
