Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails)

Who we are:

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. We started in 1989 and have grown to about 130 people.

The role:

You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work.

• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning.
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB.
