Senior Software Engineer - Ruby Rails Hotwire
Minutebook, Canada
Job Description
About the Company
MinuteBook is building a new platform at the intersection of legaltech, fintech and the startup ecosystem. Led by technical founders with experience building and selling multiple successful software companies, this company, is looking for team members who want to help shape the technology amp; culture of Minutebook. We are looking for early employees with a passion for execution quality and speed.
We're building with Rails 7, Hotwire, Buildkite, Logrocket, Segment.io, View Components, Lookbook, System tests and a majestic monolith. We thought about using React, GraphQL, Appolo, Typescript and 72 microservices... haha just kidding we didn't
Our tool keeps all of the stakeholders involved in company building (founders, employees, investors, lawyers and accountants) on the same page. We strive to increase the inclusiveness and transparency of equity ownership through bringing more people into the venture ecosystem.
We are a remote first company, although some of us like to get together to cook, eat, climb mountains, ski, hike and connect in person doing things that we are passionate about. This is an opportunity to get into a company at its earliest stage and work with (and learn alongside) a successful, driven and proven team that will treat you as a fellow owner (not as an employee) and expect the same in return.
Our founders have launched companies that today move more than $60 billion dollars a year in online payments, virtual healthcare platforms serving millions of Canadians, brewery amp; winery software that tracks millions of litres of tasty beverages and have represented clients in tens of billions of dollars worth of software company sales. We are building this platform to scratch our own itch and help the next generation of company builders focus on what matters.

You will connect the application with the other web services, and support the front-end by integrating your work and other team members’ work with the application.
We believe in having engineers who can meet with product owners amp; customers to develop a deep understanding of their needs amp; the job to be done so they can rapidly prototype solutions in HTML/CSS/JS/Ruby and iterate on problems. We are not a product management -gt; designers -gt; throw photoshop designs over the wall for the ticket-factory-hamster wheel to build.
