Ruby on Rails Developer

Hey there! At Vendo, we help large organizations run their eCommerce businesses - multi-brand stores, marketplaces, and multi-tenant platforms - scenarios that don't work well on standard SaaS platforms.

We're also maintainers of Spree Commerce, an open-source framework based on Ruby on Rails - 13k Github stars and over 2.5 million downloads! Vendo is based on Spree and we contribute to open source daily.

We’re looking for a Ruby on Rails Developer to join our team! In this position, you’ll play a key role in developing new features and keeping our platform running smoothly. If you love coding and making a real impact, we’d love to hear from you!

What will you do?

• Join our collaborative team of engineers and stakeholders
• Be involved in all stages of feature development: design it, implement it, and gather feedback!
• We keep our meetings short and sweet, ensuring we maximize productivity without distractions!
• Contribute to Spree open source and engage with our open source community!
• Work with our modern tech stack
• We’re using Ruby 3 and Rails 7 (soon 8!) along with Hotwire to create interactive experiences!
• Focus on backend and frontend development (no confusing frontend frameworks like React or Angular—just good ol' Rails!)
• Manage lots of tasks efficiently with ActiveJob/Sidekiq
• Use TDD and CI/CD practices to deliver clean, bug-free code!

Requirements

Must-haves

• At least 3 years of commercial experience with Ruby on Rails
• A great team player who values collaboration
• Strong communication skills that keep everyone in the loop
• Experience with ActiveJob/Sidekiq and handling background processing
• Ability to write automated tests (we use RSpec and Capybara)
• Familiarity with third-party APIs, such as payment processors and analytics (eg. Stripe, Shopify)
• Skill in crafting efficient SQL queries (we're using PostgreSQL)
• A knack for taking features from concept to reality and owning the process!

Nice-to-haves

• Spree experience is a huge bonus!
• Hotwire experience is a bonus (all of our UIs are built with Turbo/Stimulus/Importmaps - #RailsWay)

Our recruitment process looks like this:

1. A friendly chat with our CTO
2. A short test task to showcase your approach—no pressure!
3. Feedback on your task solution
4. If all goes well, we’ll present you with a job offer!

The offer requires that you work from the office in Warsaw (Metro Świętokrzyska) for 2-3 days each week. This means you’ll have a hybrid work arrangement, where you’ll balance your time between working in the office and remotely. It’s important to be present in the office for those days to facilitate collaboration, communication, and team dynamics

Benefits

• Compensation of 18 000 - 25 000 PLN B2B netto + VAT
• 20 days of paid vacation per year
• Paid sick leave
• Private health insurance
• Sports card
• Licenses and tools, such as GitHub Copilot/Cursor, that will enable you to work efficiently
• An office located in a central location, with access to the subway, fully stocked with snacks and drinks :)
