Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2020)

We used to be a successful digital agency specializing in creating fintech products for our partners, and now, we've taken our award-winning team and are building something for a new company company of our own, solving the challenges that excite us most and creating a product we want to bring to market ourselves.

Our team of roughly 30 (and growing) is building a product for financial protection, helping those who fall through the cracks of the traditional insurance market gain access to protection, and using innovative strategies to keep things affordable, engaging, and educational for our customers.

We're seeking a talented senior developer with a backend focus to join our team in either our Dumbo, Brooklyn or Chapel Hill, NC offices and help build and maintain the core backend systems powering our API, vendor integrations, and internal administration tools.

Position and tech stack details:

- Senior Ruby developer, with substantial Rails experience

- Not a supervisory role, though senior developers are expected to participate in mentoring activities with more junior members of the team

- Ruby/Rails API-only backend, no UI rendered directly from Rails

- Postgres

- Apache Kafka (as a message broker for a heavily event-driven architecture)

- Deployment on AWS via EKS (docker-compose for local developer environments for now, possibly local k8s depending on architecture evolution in the future)

- Core API serves clients written in React with Typescript on the web side, and native mobile apps in Swift and Kotlin on the mobile side

Other notes: we pay meticulous attention to process, have robust internal training programs and professional development efforts, and strive for a culture of trust, debate, and transparency. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we close our offices at 2pm on Fridays to enjoy the weather and time with family/friends. We practice no-meeting Wednesdays, have year-round family time blocked off on Wednesday evenings, each quarter take a day off for a fun culture event in each office, as well as a quarterly mini-conference where our team hosts talks on everything from building an e-commerce side hustle to how to make great hummus at home. We have flexible PTO and remote work options, fully-paid healthcare premiums for employees and generous family coverage, 4% 401k match, gym stipend, transit/parking stipend, and when our offices are operating again we keep a fully-stocked kitchen in each (well beyond just snacks). While our offices are closed due to COVID, we are donating our office food budget to local food banks. Visa sponsorship is an option if required.

If you're an experienced Ruby developer and the above sounds attractive, please feel free to email me your resume or with any other questions: seth.hochberg AT stringandkey DOT com. I'm the Director of Web Engineering at String and Key, and this role reports to me.

Please, no recruiters at this time.
