Hello WeWorkRemotely! We’re looking to hire a Senior Ruby on Rails developer to join our team. This could also be a good opportunity for a mid-level dev who wants to move up.

Syncta is a small startup backed by Watts Water Technologies, a $1.5 billion company. Our business is selling backflow software to testers and water purveyors, who ultimately keep our drinking water safe. Check us out at Syncta.com.

We are headquartered near Portland, right off the Max, but our devs work remotely over Slack. You’d only be required in the office one week per quarter, and when we are all together, we have fun — group lunches, happy hours, Wii Sports tournaments, etc. 

Our app is quite large: 140 models in app/models. Our database is PostgreSQL, and our deployment is AWS Elastic Beanstalk. We use Rspec for testing (85% cov.) and Semaphore for CI/CD. We are an Agile team and our project management is through Jira. 

We are looking for someone passionate about solving complex problems with code, without requiring hand-holding. Our ideal candidate understands 50% of programming is Googling and searching Stack Overflow and isn’t scared off by the size of our app. Solid Ruby on Rails experience is required.

We give all the benefits you’d expect: vacation and sick days, 401(k), health insurance, etc. and the pay is good. If this interests you, please email your resume and cover letter to me at philip.brocoum@syncta.com or feel free to pass this around to your friends. I look forward to speaking with you!
