Senior Ruby Backend Software Engineer, Integrations (remote, Europe)

Leadfeeder is a fast-growing international SaaS scale-up, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. We've developed an online service which automates sales lead generation for B2B companies.

We are an international remote team of 130+ members from around the world.

Our 50+ strong in-house, all-remote engineering team is responsible for developing new features, and otherwise improving and maintaining the Leadfeeder product.

We are organised in feature-oriented, cross-functional squads. Each squad is responsible for specific features of the product, and works tightly together with high autonomy.

We pride ourselves on keeping apps working smoothly, and the codebase tidy and well-tested. We dedicate time for upgrades, refactoring, and overall improvements for developer productivity and happiness.

We believe in listening to everyone's ideas and feedback – no matter what your role is, you get to have a say in the product and technical decisions of your squad.

About the role

Backend software engineers in the Integrations squad are responsible for the parts of the system that interact with third-party applications on the user’s behalf. For example, a user might send a lead from Leadfeeder to their CRM (say, Salesforce or Pipedrive), or wish to see which of their Mailchimp recipients has interacted with a certain page.

In practice, this means writing well-structured code that can be shared between integrations, dealing with multiple third-party APIs (and the problems that come with them), and handling large volumes of data. Our work connects Leadfeeder to the user’s workflow and processes, and so is of the utmost importance.

We work with a broad range of technologies including: Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq, Redis, gRPC, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes as well as a number of AWS-managed databases and other services.

What you’ll work on:

• Build public and private APIs to support development of new features and products, coordinating with PMs and front-end developers
• Deal with third-party APIs to add functionality to our existing integrations, as well as create brand new integrations
• Use multiple relational and non-relational databases (including Elasticsearch) to store our users’ data and metadata
• Help our customer success engineering team resolve edge-cases and other issues on our users’ behalf (no matter how good our code, we are dealing with ever-changing third-party APIs!)
• Use various APM tools to monitor performance and identify issues and ensure that proper alerting is in place
• With the help of Site Reliability Engineers, use Terraform to update and extend our AWS-based infrastructure
• Provide code reviews to your peers

Requirements

What you bring:

• Over 5 years of working experience writing maintainable and well-tested Ruby applications

• Knowledge of and experience with various CRM systems (Salesforce, Pipedrive, HubSpot, Zoho, etc.)
• Expertize in writing data-intensive, horizontally-scalable applications
• Experience in designing and implementing APIs (especially using the JSON-API standard)
• Knowledge and interests in DevOps, AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes
• Experience with serverless computing (AWS stack in particular)

Benefits

• The chance to work with a very knowledgeable, high-achieving and fun team
• An international and diverse work atmosphere
• The opportunity to work remotely in a fast-paced and results-oriented startup environment
