What you’ll be working on

You’ll help us to keep building Grinta, a majestic monolith built with Ruby and Rails. You’ll be part of a cross-functional team journey (product, design and engineering); focused on and measured by outcomes. The purpose of this product team is to solve problems in ways our customers love, yet work for our business. It’s not about shipping code, but value! Writing elegant and well-tested code, sharing opinions, learning and designing is something you’ll obviously do on a daily basis.

More precisely, you’ll work on the APIs that allow our backend to connect to brands catalogs and fulfillment services we rely on. You will be the go-to person on the tech side for product catalogs and inventories, the starting point of the revamp of the sporting goods industry.

Tools used on a daily basis

• Notion is your best friend for searchable asynchronous discussions, and Slack, a tool for quick and informal exchanges
• Metabase informs your decisions
• Intercom is where you build and nurture the relationship with users
• Pen and paper to sketch some ideas quickly and throw them away

Qualifications

• Experience using technologies and frameworks like (but not limited to) some of our most-used ones: Ruby, Rails, GraphQL
• Attention to detail and consistency
• Excellent communication skills
• Deep understanding of technology
• You have the drive and focus to get challenging projects over the finish line, and you are comfortable advocating for what you need to do your best work
• Flexible and focussed on solutions
• Organized and self-sufficient

Nice to have

• Experience in working with third-parties API is a huge plus
• You’ve mentored teammates on new ways to deepen their technical craft
• Experience with working in a very fast-paced and continuously changing environment
