About You
You love building great software. Your work could be supporting new feature development, migrating existing features, or creating APIs. You'll have a primary focus on backend development, though may need to jump into the frontend from time to time.
Our client’s tech stack is Ruby for the Back end, Javascript for the Front end and AWS for deployment. We use modern tools, which means you’ll have the opportunity to work with technologies like Webpack, Redux, Apollo, Styled Components, AWS and other cloud platforms, and much more.
You have worked with teams before on large and demonstrable projects. You bring strong experience on the backend development in Ruby, utilizing Ruby on Rails, AngularJS as a framework and GraphQL. You have a strong grasp of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. First hand experience working with Ruby on Rails is a must. And you bring experience using iterative and incremental methods and TDD and/or BDD.
You bring knowledge working with MySQL, Postgres, or MSSQL. You understand Agile software development and DevOps practices, and can work closely with QA teams to optimize your code.
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.
