Job Description

We're looking for a senior rails developer to come work with us at WodBoard WodBoard is gym management software that helps gym owners run their businesses and helps their customers the gym members live healthier lives.  The brand name won't make any sense unless you've walked into a functional fitness gym before so I'll move swiftly on...

We're a bootstrapped company so there's no VCs to answer to.  That doesn't mean we're not ambitious though - there's a massive market we're going after and we want to create lasting change.  As a combination of these two things we've a heavy focus on getting stuff done.

Our development ethos could be best described as "full DHH". Whilst there's some bits we don't 100% agree with we stick to the core Rails ethos and stack focussing on what we can achieve with the technology rather than the technology itself.  If you've enjoyed some of the blog posts on how Basecamp structure code or enjoy the work of boringrails.com you'd like working with us.

We're a small (but mighty) tech team of 3 so you'll be jumping straight in and writing code for customers from day 1. There's also infrastructure/UI work/mobile app development work that happens and you can become involved in if you so wish.  The role has the opportunity to build into a CTO role for the right person.

A little more about the role and us:
  • It's really refreshing using technology to do something that helps people in a real world tangible way.  Changing lives and increasing health through technology is very motivating!
  • We love simplicity.  We're fanatical about it.  This goes from our codebase to our infrastructure to how we operate as a company.  It can be harder work upfront but it sure makes life easier down the road.
  • You'll need strong ownership skills.  As a small team we don't have project managers.  You're responsible for your tasks so you'll need to be good at taking ownership and reporting back to the team.
  • An ability to renegotiate requirements as you get into the technical details is most welcome!  In Computer Science there's hard problems and hard problems that don't need solving.  We are constantly asking ourselves if there's an easier way to do something.
  • We spend a lot of time talking to our customers and understanding their problems.  This won't ever change.  Be prepared to go back and evaluate previously held assumptions on new features after testing with beta customers
The position is fulltime and by no means do you need to be into health/fitness to work here (only about 50% of our staff are).  It's fully remote position but you'd need to be on an EU timezone so there's sufficient overlap with the rest of the team.  We also do a full team meetup in person twice per year.
