Requirements

🌏 Location

The is a remote-first position and we would ideally love to have a 4-5 hour overlap (AEST) (use this link to compare) with you. We have offices in Adelaide & Melbourne, so bonus points if you are in either of these two cities. This is not a strict requirement though - so if you're based elsewhere and can manage a couple of hours overlap with AEST, we'd love to hear from you.

🎸 Experience

Minimum 2 years of traceable production Ruby on Rails experience (excluding boot camps). To succeed in this role, along with Ruby on Rails, you will be confident and experienced in front-end development. Knowledge in DevOps, QA, or Data Science a plus.

⚒️ Tech stack

All our developers are full-stack and get really varied new experience; with a mix of front-end (solid level Vanilla and Vue.js), back-end (Ruby, Rails, Hanami), and DevOps (Docker Swarm/AWS), doing short sprints and bigger projects.

Our ideal candidate:

  • Ruby on Rails savvy
  • Confident using Slim templates engine, CSS/SCSS/Tailwind, Vanilla JS/UJS/Vue.js
  • Has production experience with Elasticsearch and Postgres
  • Can demonstrate an advanced level of rspec usage
  • Familiar with giving and taking code reviews
  • Comfortable with occasional pair programming
  • Ready to adjust to development guidelines

What would a normal week at Bluethumb look like?

  • One team-wide stand up and one dev/product team standup (Fridays).
  • No daily updates or check-ins required.
  • 3-week sprints.
  • You pick your own task from the sprint pool with no pressure.
  • Pair programming with other devs and support from PM/QA team.
  • You almost always work on a combination new features, improvements, refactors and bugs during the sprint.
  • Other things we love - code reviews, pair-programming, clearing code-debt and a retro meeting per sprint (retro meeting is to raise 'mad', 'sad', 'glad' and 'rad' issues throughout the sprint to learn and improve).

More about us:

  • Australian team based in Melbourne and Adelaide. Tech team spread across New Zealand, Russia, United Kingdom, Canada, Indonesia.
  • We've been a remote-first tech company long before the pandemic, some of our engineers have been working remotely for a decade. We know how to build and maintain an effective and friendly remote work environment.
  • 3-week sprints so the team can work in their own time with ample support and mentoring.
  • Fewer meetings and reporting, and more trust. We have only one tech meetings per week (plus another company wide standup) and most of our communication is Slack-based (with ample mentoring as and when needed from the seniors).
  • The work you do helps Australian artists build their careers. Many have made their career break on Bluethumb and rely on it for a living. The tech we build is socially impactful! You see it go live and get used almost immediately. A facebook group of 3000 Aussie artists is a great pool of users to get instant feedback from.
  • You'll work in a small team of awesome engineers, QA and PM focussed on shipping great product, in a complex environment.
  • We're a fully custom built site - so everything is possible and we love creating complex features in a simple way.
  • Team trivia, online games and virtual hangouts.
