37signals | Rails programmer | Fully Remote (PST to CET)
37signals are hiring Rails programmers to work on our flagship products: Basecamp and HEY. We're accepting applications until June 6, 5pm US-Central time.
Everything at 37signals is built as a majestic monolith using Ruby on Rails and Hotwire for the front-end.
You'll be building new product features alongside a designer using our Shape Up methodology (https://basecamp.com/shapeup https://basecamp.com/shapeup) as well as spending time addressing issues to make sure our apps are robust, and our codebase weed free.
We're a small team who get a lot done. The whole company runs on Basecamp, we work asynchronously with few meetings, and the company gets together IRL at meet-ups twice a year.
The salary for candidates matched as Programmer is $165,410. The salary for candidates matched as Senior Programmer is $197,819. Irrespective of where in the world you live.

- kgabbott 4y agoFor (b), would also be really awesome if they explained how they chose these numbers. Given how specific it is, a salary of 197,819 seems to be derived from some function (e.g. average salary for a senior engineer position in SF).
- ksec 4y agoI believe it is Top 10% salary for a senior engineer position in SF using industry benchmarks. ( DHH used to tweet a lot about Remote )
- yunohn 4y agoIs Ruby on Rails experience mandatory? It appears to be an important requirement and application question.
- lylo 4y agoYes it is. The job ad states: We’re looking for candidates with a strong track record of putting Rails to work and bringing products to life. You should be experienced in the framework, in Ruby, and with the staples of full-stack web development: HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
- yunohn 4y agoThanks the the update. The reason I ask is because it severely limits the applicant pool. For example, I have years of Django experience, and now I work fully in Nodejs/TS. Anecdotally, this is the case for a lot of people that I know. Moreover, I don’t see a situation where I can get deep RoR experience from the industry now. Do you see this sentiment from other applicants? How are you getting enough RoR experts?
- pizza234 4y ago> How are you getting enough RoR experts? This is very interesting. At my company we've had problems with finding senior Rails devs, which constrasts with the "great resignation" theory. I think that the pool of senior RoR devs is restricting nowadays (due to the framework/language's loss of appeal), but the is a small number of Rails big techs (and famous companies, including 37signals) that are still very desirable, so they may not have problems in finding candidates.
- yunohn 4y agoIndeed, and presumably given DHH’s philosophy, 37signals intends to be in business for a very long time. How will they ensure a stable pipeline of experienced RoR engineers? Sidenote - IMO Django and RoR are unmatched in developer productivity - all modern alternatives have mind-numbing levels of boilerplate and bike shedding.
