About the role
Platform engineering is a core group at OpenUnit focused on maintaining and improving our core components, and we are looking for a Senior level engineer to help us do it. This team is focused on our internal job running tool, which is critical for our engineers and our feature development.
As a engineer, you’ll help drive the product vision to its implementation. You will work alongside the team to design and build technically innovative solutions that empower all teams at OpenUnit to work quickly. Self-storage operators that depend on OpenUnit for a highly scalable, performant, and reliable platform benefit directly from the work you do. You’ll also be hands-on in our code and will contribute technically.
Qualifications
- You should be well-versed in modern browser APIs, HTML, and CSS
- Back-end programming experience, especially with Ruby, is a plus but not a requirement.
- Experience using technologies and frameworks like (but not limited to) some of our most-used languages — Ruby on Rails, Stimulus, Hotwire, Elasticsearch and Redis
- Curiosity and passion to constantly learn new things; OpenUnit changes fast, and we need the people who work here to be able to change and learn fast too
- Experience with relational databases and SQL
About the job
The engineering team consists of two full-time people, and two part-time people, whose work has given rise to the core platform that multiple operators use to handle their day-to-day operations — these operators have acted as test group, and we will soon be letting operators from the waitlist on as we approach a public release. You’ll join the team and work with them closely.
As a member of the engineering team at OpenUnit, you’ll fend off complexity and find a simpler path. You’ll fix bugs. You’ll go deep. You’ll learn from us and we’ll learn from you. You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work, and plenty of support along the way.
