🚀 Want to join a team of A-players in an exciting, high-growth, entrepreneurial environment?

LeadSimple is a small team solving big problems in the property management industry. Bootstrapped since 2013, we're passionate about helping small businesses grow sustainably.

Our software provides a powerful foundation for any property management company to take their business to the next level. Thousands of property managers rely on us for their day-to-day operations and we’re only getting started.

We’re looking for seasoned Senior and Lead Ruby on Rails Engineers to join our fully-remote team to help us scale to meet market demand. This is an opportunity to join on the ground floor of a bootstrapped, growing company with a lot of upside.

What we’d want you to do:

• Take technical ownership of our product’s architecture and capabilities
• Recommend and lead complex refactoring projects and migrations, without sacrificing stability, such as:
  • Modernizing our back-end stack (we’re currently on Rails 4)
  • Optimizing our API and PostgreSQL database for scale and performance
• Suggest and implement scalability & productivity improvements
• Collaborate with the rest of the team in weekly meetings, chat and code reviews
• Develop new full-stack features from start to finish using the Shape Up method
• Participate in our Betting Table planning meetings
• Write high-quality and maintainable Ruby and Typescript code
• Write high-quality documentation on our product’s architecture to assist collaboration

• Past experience with complex upgrades and migrations
• Prior experience as a software architect or technical lead
• Strong analytical and debugging skills
• Strong communication skills, able to recommend decisions using data and experience

• You’ll collaborate within a small, highly productive team, reviewing code and helping other engineers with their roadblocks.
