ConvertKit | Senior Rails Engineer | REMOTE
ConvertKit is looking for Senior Rails Engineers.
* We are a 100% remote company, scattered across 8 states and 4 countries. There is no central office.
* Bootstrapped, profitable, and growing very quickly (See for yourself! https://convertkit.baremetrics.com https://convertkit.baremetrics.com)
* We put a high emphasis on work / life balance, and we value and strive for 40 hour work weeks.
* We have a positive, vibrant, and genuine culture. (see https://charlimarie.com/2017/02/06/finding-my-place https://charlimarie.com/2017/02/06/finding-my-place)
About the role
You'll be part of our awesome engineering team, helping to build our product. We primarily use Rails, Mysql, Redis and Sidekiq to get the job done. We're facing real (fun) scaling challenges because of our incredible growth. Ideally
you've been there, done that before.
We're also looking for someone who cares deeply about writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code, and generally tends to leave code in a better state than when they encountered it.
About you
You’re a perfect fit for this role if you’ve got experience developing software, love pragmatic OO design for its long-term cost benefits, and testing. Clean code is not just a phrase for you. Given our high rate of growth, you'll need to have strong knowledge of scaling Rails applications up.
Benefits:
* 3 weeks paid vacation, 7 paid holidays, and 3 sick days / year. 4 weeks paid vacation after a year of employment.
* The team gathers twice a year in-person for fantastic team retreats (https://youtu.be/1L0en33hfqI https://youtu.be/1L0en33hfqI)
* Excellent Health benefits.
* 8 weeks paid maternity / 4 weeks paid paternity leave.
* $2500 equipment allowance given every 2 years.
* 4% matching 401k.
* Conference credit.
* $1,000 yearly vacation bonus.
* Profit sharing!

- codegeek 10y ago"8 weeks paid maternity / 4 weeks paid paternity leave." "4% matching 401k" Thx for mentioning these benefits. A lot of companies miss the mark when it comes to explaining/offering benefits that sometimes are so much more useful than extra cash.
- nathanbarry 10y agoFor sure! I always want to know the details.
- notJim 10y agoWhat's with the pretty good vacation, but then only 3 sick days/year? Is your expectation that people take vacation if they're sick?
- nathanbarry 10y agoOriginally we had it all lumped together as 3 weeks, but then when we hired in California we had to split it out and have at least 3 sick days. That was done before we were profitable, so we may still increase it. Also since people work flexible schedules from home the sick days just don't get used very often.
