Senior Rails Engineer

Job content

Quality isn’t just a goal. It’s the whole point.
Bugsnag recently joined the SmartBear family because we’re aware of the same problem: Our customers are under a lot of pressure to deliver great software. But to compress lifecycles, add features, and compete in a world where ’every company is now a software company’ is hard. And one mistake can mean their reputation, even future. That’s why it’s our mission to help. At any part of their software development lifecycle (SDLC), we provide the tools and discipline to focus on quality while streamlining their processes. So our customers can create and deploy software that works as designed – especially when it’s needed most. And we’re looking for people to join us.

Bugsnag is the trusted software stability "command center" for over 5,000 engineering teams worldwide, including Airbnb, Slack, Pinterest, Docker, EA and Microsoft. We process over 1 billion crash reports daily from 85,000 applications, and empower our customers to make data-driven decisions on when to focus on building new features, or when to fix bugs.

We’re looking for a Senior Rails Engineer to join our team. You’ll work closely with our Product, Pipeline, and Frontend teams to help build our customer-facing core API. Our stability monitoring dashboard helps many of the industry’s leading engineering teams around the world deliver higher quality software to their users. Our team is growing, and we’re taking on bold challenges every day! We’d love to see what we can do next with your help.

What you’ll get to do:
Build the core Bugsnag API that powers our dashboard and helps developers all over the world be more efficient at what they do
Collaborate with other software engineers to deliver well-tested, performant features
Use what you build to improve what you build - we use Bugsnag ourselves every day!
Work with a modern Rails stack in a service oriented architecture - we use Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC, RabbitMQ, and ElasticSearch, to name a few
Thoughtfully and constructively review work from others on the team

Your background likely includes experience with:
Ruby on Rails or a similar MVC framework
Designing, building, and using RESTful APIs
Integrating with billing platforms and services
Taking ownership of all stages of a project from architecture/design through implementation to delivery
Monitoring and improving performance of software applications (Rails or similar)
Using multiple datastores (we use MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch)
Design and delivery of significant software features, products, etc.
Strong communication skills that reduce the inherent ambiguity in fast moving environments
Going the extra mile to make other developers more efficient

Bonus points for:
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC
Experience designing and maintaining real-time APIs
Being active in the technical community
