Featured Job

Ruby on Rails Junior/Support Developer

Pay: Competitive

We are looking for an exceptional developer because we believe that putting together deliberately smaller teams of all-stars is the best way to build software. We are building interesting software in a space without a lot of interesting software: payment solutions. We mostly work with Rails, but we leverage other technologies appropriately.

We believe in using the best tool for the job. We value aptitude over experience, maintainable teams and codebases, and tight feedback loops. We prefer essence over ceremony.

Our approach is to hire great developers and place them into an environment that is conducive to hacking and painting. This is as much an opportunity to define the team as it is to be a part of it.

We’re looking for somebody with at least 1 year of experience with:

• Ruby on Rails
• Linux/Unix
• Web development in general: HTML, JavaScript, CSS
• Testing (TDD/BDD)
• Version control, preferably Git

Had you been with us last month, this is what you would have done:

• Answered questions about our API
• Received praise for quickly and clearly helping a merchant with a problem
• Written integration examples in Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, and .NET
• Defined best practices for merchants implementing payment processing logic
• Updated the Sinatra app that generates our API documentation and deployed the updates to a server
• Took a break from support to pair program on gateway development
• Worked with our product manager to discuss the features that our customers most frequently request
• Resolved about 50 support tickets over the course of the month
• Explained to a merchant developer why they are seeing behavior they didn’t expect
• Debugged a snippet of code with a merchant
• Participated in our monthly retrospective, discussing what is going well, what is going not so well, and then making concrete plans to improve
• Started your day off with a stand-up meeting discussing progress and plans, and solving problems as a team
• Celebrated a record-breaking week of transaction processing volume
• Found and fixed a bug in our software based on a support question
• Designed a workaround for a use case that’s not yet directly supported
• Advocated for the priority of a highly requested feature
• Rearranged documentation to make the answer to a common question clearer
• Juggled a list of to do items while keeping up with incoming support tickets
• Taken the occasional incoming phone call from a developer with integration questions
• Worked with the sales team to maintain important customer relationships
• Created an example of a specific use case to share with a merchant
• Crafted a delicate response to a frustrated merchant developer
• Enjoyed congratulations from co-workers when the company gets public praise because of the support you gave
• Been schooled in foosball and watched Patrick on the catwalk during the Hacker Makeover
• Traveled with the rest of the company to stay at a resort, played paintball, gone out onto the lake on a pontoon boat, and played at the pool
• Been proud to be part of a company that is devoted to personal and team excellence

What we do…

We’re a payment processing company that was founded in 2007. We help online businesses process credit card payments by providing a merchant account, payment gateway, recurring billing and credit card storage. We’re unlike others in the industry; we think and do things differently and are frequently told by our customers that we’re a breath of fresh air. We work with some of the fastest growing, most promising and well respected technology companies in the U.S., which is quite fulfilling. We’ve worked unbelievably hard to serve our customers and it’s paid off.

Our goals

• To become the undisputed, #1 recommended payment gateway provider by software developers.
• To be recognized by our customers as the best payments provider in the industry.
• To create a work environment and culture so rewarding that we become a magnet for the most talented people.

A few things about us…

Our team is now nearly 20 strong. We’re bootstrapped, profitable and have grown faster than we ever expected. In fact, we’ve been growing so fast lately that we’re treading water and need more excellent people now!

Our appealing work environment includes highly competent co-workers, competitive pay, engaging work, casual dress, flexible schedule, full health, vision and dental benefits, and 401k with employer match. We have a dart board, foosball table, and bags (corn hole) in the office. We work very hard and have a lot of fun. We thrive on doing things better, more efficiently, and smarter. We are a flat organization. We don’t have an employee hierarchy or official job titles (you choose your own). We don’t have a vacation policy; we trust people to get their work done and maintain a proper work life balance. We’re not looking for people who want to move into management, because we don’t have it.

We have unusually high expectations of our people. What we value in each other:

1. Self management: both hands are firmly gripped on the steering wheel
2. Ownership: I’ve got it, you don’t need to think about it
3. Initiative: it’s not going to happen unless I do it
4. Virtue: honesty, good deeds, kindness, and appreciation
5. Problem Solving: nothing that can’t be solved and improved
6. Team work: we before I

Please DO NOT apply if:

• You’d feel like a fish out of water without a well defined traditional corporate structure
• You’d consider taking out the trash as being below you
• You’re accustomed to using the phrase “that’s not part of my job description”

Please DO apply if:

• You’re a doer - not a manager, a coordinator, or an idea person - but someone who loves to get stuff done, and done well
• You are a “go to” person because you’re reliable, creative, resourceful, a good decision maker, and generally one of the most capable people your peers know
• You’re accustomed to a small company environment that includes wearing many hats and managing many disparate things at any given time
• You’re articulate, persuasive, and know that you would thrive on a highly collaborative team
• Your friends and former employers would gush about you and your awesomeness
