We are looking for an entrepreneurial spirit who is attracted to the investing industry and motivated to make an impact with their development skills.
About The Role
Mitre Media is a remote company. Our team hails from a variety of locations including the U.S., Canada and Europe. Where we have team members located close to each other (e.g. Toronto), we like to balance "work from home" with frequent meetups at work spaces because in-person is also important to us.
We're welcoming remote candidates within +/- 3 hours of the Eastern Time zone to apply.
This role requires an expert knowledge of Ruby and will be reporting directly to our CTO. The ideal candidate brings not just expert Ruby skills, but also a proven ability to set up highly organized codebases with strong conventions.
You will be working within a microservices architecture, which takes care of rendering, data management, user management, payments and analytics. You love that most of your time is writing code and being responsible for the code base. You communicate clearly with colleagues, easily work across teams, and lend a helping hand when needed.
Day-to-day, the purpose of this role is to build the user experiences found on the Mitre Media portfolio of brands. We use ShapeUp to keep track of project scope, which means that we trade scope for on-time projects.
Here are some things we’ve worked on recently:
Leverage Ruby proc to build a flexible classification methodology for investment securities
