Company Introduction
Laborocity is a rapidly growing startup company that matches college-aged workers (“Doers”) with businesses that need temporary help. Our technology team is charged with building a best-in-class platform to manage the job postings, acceptance, and payments from our customers to our Doers. Additionally, where it makes more sense to buy rather than build, our development team will be responsible for leveraging 3rd party APIs to connect our data flows with SaaS systems.
Job Description
We are looking for a full stack web developer with experience writing Ruby on Rails and JavaScript code (specifically proficiency with React.js) to join our growing team. You will own the continued development of our web application, the services tier, and the underlying PostgreSQL database. This entails development of user interface components and implementing them following well-known React,js workflows, server-side logic, definition and maintenance of the central database, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end. A commitment to collaborative problem solving, sophisticated design, and quality product is of paramount importance.
The platform is hosted on Heroku and we use Stripe for financial transaction processing so experience with these two services is a definite plus.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable Ruby code
Integration of data storage solutions
Developing new user-facing features using React.js
Building reusable components and front-end libraries for future use
Translating designs and wireframes into high quality code
Optimizing components for maximum performance across a vast array of web-capable devices and browsers
Integration of user-facing elements with server side logic
Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to these problems
Help maintain code quality, organization and automatization
Skills
Experience with Ruby on Rails, along with other common libraries such as RSpec and Resque
Familiarity with Behavior Driven and Test Driven development
Good understanding of the syntax of Ruby and its nuances
Strong proficiency in JavaScript, including DOM manipulation and the JavaScript object model
Thorough understanding of React.js and its core principles
Familiarity with RESTful APIs
Solid understanding of object-oriented programming
Good understanding of server-side templating languages
Good understanding of server-side CSS preprocessors
Good understanding of front-end technologies, such as JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3
Familiarity with concepts of MVC, Mocking, ORM, and RESTful
A knack for writing clean, readable code
Ability to integrate multiple data sources and databases into one system
Understanding of fundamental design principles behind a scalable application
Able to create database schemas that represent and support business processes
Able to implement automated testing platforms and unit tests
Proficient understanding of code versioning tools (e.g. Git)
Familiarity with continuous integration
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and capabilities
Health, Dental, and Vision benefits
Paid Vacation & Sick Leave
401(k) and Profit Sharing
Equity participation plan under consideration
