Machinio is based in downtown Chicago, but supported by an international team. We are a search engine for industrial machinery and equipment. We’re looking for inquisitive, self-motivated developers to join our team and help us solve interesting problems.
You’ll work on challenges such as full-text search, domain-specific search optimization, large-scale email alert delivery and optimization, custom CRM solutions, and everything else that helps make our customers happy.
Developers on our team have a history of maintaining and contributing to open-source projects. Machinio succeeded thanks to open source software, so we love people that contribute to open source.

Position summary
You’ll work on the core application and several supporting microservices (most of them written in Ruby), implementing features and taking full ownership of them from start to finish. This includes suggesting ideas and validating them with data, building solutions with the support of the team, running A/B tests when needed, and writing tests while proactively fixing issues along the way.
You should have a strong interest in design and UI/UX — things like userinyerface.com should amuse (and slightly horrify) you. You’ll also help improve the existing codebase; we strive to minimize technical debt and take a proactive approach to addressing it. Being open to discussing ideas and implementation details during code reviews is important to us.
Finally, we value continuous learning and provide a learning stipend to support your ongoing professional development.
