About You

You love building great software. Your work could be supporting new feature development, migrating existing features, or creating APIs.In addition, you enjoy jumping into debugging and fixing problems that may spam several systems. You'll have a primary focus on backend development in Ruby and JavaScript, though may need to jump into the frontend from time to time.We use modern tools, which means you’ll have the opportunity to work with software like Memcached, RabbitMQ, Zookeeper, Docker, Redis, Jenkins, Puppet, Ansible and much more.

You have worked with teams before on significant and demonstrable projects (preferably built on Ruby). You’re also familiar with frameworks like Rails and Node. You understand how to design systems in a distributed manner across hundreds (and even thousands) of servers – we handle 100s of millions of API calls every week and are growing fast. You understand Agile software development and DevOps practices and can work closely with QA teams to optimize your code. You have proficiency with version control practices and tools such as Git and GitHub. You are comfortable with CLI – git, docker, and the Unix (Linux or Mac) command line.

You relish creating high quality code from the comfort of your own home. Your engineering projects will focus on understanding customers' needs and translating those needs from product specifications into functional, production ready code. You'll have the opportunity to ship code daily that will be used by customers.

You love learning. Engineering is an ever-evolving world. You enjoy playing with new tech and exploring areas that you might not have experience with yet. You are self-driven, self-learner willing to share knowledge and participate actively in your community.

Having overlap with your team is critical when working in a global remote team. Modus requires all team members to overlap with EST morning hours daily. In addition, reliable high speed internet is a must.
