How You’ll Contribute at Buildout

• Consistently and quickly build and launch excellent software by:

  • Understanding our customers and their needs

  • Engineering elegant and practical solutions

  • Iterating on and polishing your work to meet the standards for Buildout Quality

• Help your team lead break large projects and requirements into smaller components and estimate that work so everyone can easily work on them. Long, costly and wasteful IPMs are not encouraged here.

• Work with your team’s Product Manager and UX Designer to ensure everyone is on the same page and the user experience is consistently great

• Help your team maintain Buildout Quality by performing thorough and timely code reviews, pairing on difficult issues to share knowledge and drive accountability, and deliver excellent software on a timely basis to lead by example

• Set and achieve Buildout sponsored personal and professional goals with your team lead and the SVP of Engineering

• 2+ years of product software development experience within a SaaS company, or the ability to demonstrate you’ve learned enough in less time to still be a great engineer and valuable team member

• Solid cross-team and cross-functional communication skills

• A love of software engineering, design, documentation, testing, and automation

We are looking for a full-stack engineer. However, “full-stack” can mean a lot these days, so here is what we’re looking for specifically:

Ruby/Rails: We’re a Ruby shop here at Buildout, so a deep knowledge of Rails is going to help you get up and running quickly. Our app uses all of the standard Rails goodness you know and love, as well as a lot of additional tools for design, business logic, and background jobs. If you like to learn new skills, you’re going to fit in really well.

Javascript: Our front-end relies heavily on Javascript. We currently have a mix of core features written using vanilla ES5 and React, but are focusing on ES6 and React for all future front-end work. We are looking for people with a strong working Javascript base who want to keep finding and working with the best new tools.

Testing: Is testing a natural part of your process? If so, you’ll be appreciated here. We are actively building out our test suite and providing ample team resources to make sure that everything we create is tested and rock-solid. Our test suite uses RSpec for most of our Rails work.

Other Web Tech: We use git for source control, Slim for our view templates, lightly customized Bootstrap for our CSS, MySQL and AWS. If you’re really passionate about some new technology, we’d love to hear about it.

While we appreciate applicants from all backgrounds, Buildout is unable to provide visa sponsorship (including H-1B, OPT, or other work authorization) at this time.

Location: This is a fully remote role open across most of the US.

Compensation: The targeted compensation range for this position is $100,000 - $135,000 based on experience.
