Software Engineer III

The Role, Software Engineer III

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer who is responsible for the development and maintenance of a SaaS application portfolio. The ideal candidate is interested in creating innovative applications, loves to build new things, and is comfortable across a range of technologies. We need someone who is resourceful in getting things done — a productive team member that is both independent and collaborative.

You should be excited about experimenting and pushing boundaries. Our ideal teammates are constantly looking to learn something new and become better at what they do — whether that means doing self-driven research or asking the other individuals questions where they are most knowledgeable.

What You Bring:

You will need to wear many hats and be able to work with your team to successfully deliver solutions to our customers. You should be excited to mentor, influence, and contribute to a team, as well as be an expert in at least one language or domain.

• 4+ years of professional development experience
• Experience delivering complex customer-facing components, websites, and applications.
• Experience working with modern Ruby on Rails in a full-stack application
• Strong HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and knowledge of web standards with a strong understanding of Rails templating technologies or ViewComponents
• Experience with a modern front-end JavaScript framework (React, Vue.js, Svelte) including patterns and best practices
• Experience with building and consuming RESTful APIs
• An understanding of building systems that scale to thousands of concurrent users
• A passion for solving customer problems with a team that’s just as passionate as you

Technologies you’ll be exposed to:

• Ruby on Rails
• Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, and ViewComponents
• React with Redux
• Cloud data stores such as MySQL, S3, and MongoDB
• Sass with a BEM influenced structure
• GitHub and GitHub Actions
• Docker and Kubernetes

What GoCanvas Brings:

We believe hiring the right people is THE most important thing we do. We take our values seriously and look for these traits in everyone we hire: Empathy, Customer-Obsessed, Authenticity, Impactful, Team Player and Cheeky/Fun Loving. We believe in giving people the freedom to work, but staying inspired by their important metrics, to think and act like owners of our business. We provide a remote-first environment that allows for innovation and creativity and a chance for individuals passionate about their role to have fun at work!

Our success is rooted in a wonderfully wholesome culture, best defined by our four overarching values:

• Authentic Relationships - People are never a means to an end.
• Continuous Learning - Test every assumption and never stay stagnant.
• Interdependence - We build systems that require everyone to perform with excellence, we are a team, and we succeed or fail together.
• Data Driven Decisions - Because wisdom requires understanding the facts of the matter, disputes between competing perspectives are resolved with data.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
