  • Keep changes small and iterate towards the best solution.

  • Reviewing Rails and/or database related changes submitted by other engineers or community contributors

  • Documenting best practices or patterns to avoid

  • Developing tooling to proactively inform developers of potential performance issues

  • Research, design and implement solutions to improve product performance 

What you’ll bring 

  • Significant experience with Ruby on Rails

  • Professional software engineering experience with databases (preferably PostgreSQL) in large production environments

  • Familiarity with GraphQL

  • Infrastructure / Deployments knowledge (optional).

  • Interest in scalability / sharing and system programming languages, like Rust, Go, or Lua (optional).

  • Experience with performance and optimization problems and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems

  • You can reason about software, algorithms, and performance from a high level

  • You are passionate about open source.

  • Strong written communication skills.

  • Self-motivated and have strong organizational skills.

  • You share our values, and work in accordance with those values.
