Ruby has gained national recognition for its success, being named FORTUNE Magazine’s #1 and #3 Best Small Company to Work for in the U.S. in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and has experienced double-digit growth every year since its inception. At Ruby, we are clear in our mission of keeping alive those real, meaningful personal connections that are increasingly absent today’s workday, and we use our five core values (foster happiness, practice WOWism, create community, innovate, and grow) to guide us on our journey to deliver that mission.

Position Overview

As a member of the Ruby Software Engineering team, you’ll work closely with product managers, UX experts, and other team members to deliver WOW-worthy solutions for both our customers and partners.

We work in two-week sprints, iteratively advancing multiple company initiatives. The work typically spans multiple technology platforms, including various .NET applications, on-premise and cloud-hosted web services, mobile applications, and multiple web sites.

We’re looking for a strong cross-functional developer who can move between roles and technologies as needed – you might be coding a RESTful endpoint in the morning, and debugging a stored procedure in the afternoon.

This position is in the Product and Engineering Department, and reports to the VP of Engineering.

There are no relocation benefits available for this position.

What You’ll Be Accountable For

Work collaboratively with other team members to develop new services, applications, and database components, across both on-premise and cloud-hosted infrastructure.

Support existing applications and services, including troubleshooting, bug fixing, required upgrades, and modifications to existing functionality.

Develop and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable C# code.

Develop database scripts to effect a variety of database changes, including new and altered tables, UDF’s and triggers.

Debug and troubleshoot issues across all layers of our solution stack.

Share and document system and domain knowledge to eliminate single points of failure.

Work independently or as part of a team as the work requires. Participate fully in team planning and work with colleagues to continuously improve the team’s performance.

Your Work DNA

You are passionate about all technology, with a special appreciation for beautiful, elegant systems, and you have a knack for energizing others around your passions.

You are proud of the work you do, and want to work for a company that shares your values.

You’re also fun and collaborative, and you have a reputation for doing what you say you’ll do.

Others would point to you as someone they’d love to work with, and your brilliant mind and innovative solutions inspire us all to do great work.

You jump at the opportunity to pitch in and feed the greater good. No job is too big or small when you can lend a helping hand.

Your Background

Strong .NET / C# background

Strong relational database background (MS-SQL preferred)

Experience designing and consuming RESTful services

Ability to understand complex data models, and high levels of abstraction

Understanding of design patterns and SOLID principles

Experience with unit testing, TDD, build and deployment automation

Experience with AngularJS, TypeScript, HTML5, and responsive web design is a plus

Experience with AWS or Azure a plus

A desire to constantly learn – and share – new knowledge
