Hi, we're Shake. We're a B2B technology company that is creating the best-in-class online review management solution for SMBs through to Enterprise. We leverage big data to enable workflows that have never been seen before.

We're an established business with thousands of paying customers and a team of 20, and are searching for a Junior Ruby on Rails Engineer that can help us get the company to the next stage. Being bootstrapped (not venture-backed) and fully remote, we don’t strive for growth at all costs, and are building a company that we can be proud of, and enjoy working for.

Our ideal candidate has:

2+ years of experience building web applications

Strong knowledge of Ruby on Rails

Familiarity working with external APIs, like Sendgrid, Facebook, Google, Stripe, Twilio, Twitter

A passion for writing code that's clear and based on best practices

Excellent writing and communication skills

Product-orientated, empathising with the customer

Nice to have:

Experience working with multi-tenant applications

Building APIs using Ruby on Rails

Experience working with frontend developers

Self-starter who is able to take ownership of projects

In a typical day, you will:

Develop a new API endpoint to support updated React components

Be responsible for overall backend code quality

Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to our product development

Make sure we’re meeting our product roadmap

Work with our team to create both technically viable and beautiful user experiences

Our team is fully-remote and we communicate primarily through Slack, Asana and a few short, weekly meetings via Hangout — we believe the best work happens when given lots of uninterrupted time that’s free of distractions.
