Fullstack Software Engineer (Ruby/Go/React)

At Zendesk, we truly believe that to build a great product you have to have great people. We enjoy working with other learning focused people who care about both the customer and the code they write. We value collaboration and test driven development and release frequently. We like and use agile processes and believe that pragmatism always triumphs over dogmatism. We all are responsible for our product and enjoy the impact we have improving it.

The Contact Center team is looking for a hardworking software engineer to help take Zendesk products to the next level in terms of functionality and integrations. You’ll be joining a team that works on our Voice products. Voice is a complex real-time application that needs to be robust, scalable and maintainable. You’ll have the passion, patience and determination to deliver high quality software to meet our customers needs. Does this sound like you?

What you’ll do

• Join a dynamic, self-organizing team focused on delivering core functionality for our Voice product.

• Contribute meaningfully through all phases of the software lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations.

• Take ownership of features and bug fixes—working independently on well-defined tasks and collaborating on complex challenges.

• Participate in prototyping, code reviews, and rapid deployment cycles to keep our codebase robust.

• Proactively investigate issues, identify root causes, and help develop automated tests to prevent regressions.

What you bring

• Experience building software with JavaScript (React) and with either Ruby/Rails or Golang.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfortable giving and receiving peer feedback.

• Willingness to take accountability for your work and support the team’s overall success.
