Description

Founded in 2009, Dribbble is the top global community for designers and creative professionals and an inspiration destination for over a hundred million people every year. We’re empowering creatives around the world to make a living doing what they love. Our mission is to provide support at every stage of a creative’s journey; whether that’s freelancing, or being hired by some of the world’s leading design-forward companies.

With many jobs, you have to pick between having a huge impact on the organization (small team) or having a huge impact on the world (big product), but at Dribbble – you get to do both, as part of a highly collaborative team, working on one of the world’s top 1000 websites.

At Dribbble, we serve a global community and we need a erse team to do that successfully. Women, people of colour, members of the LGBTQ+ community, iniduals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. We provide an accessible candidate experience, and if you need any accommodations or adjustments throughout the interview process and beyond, please let us know. We’re dedicated to fostering an inclusive and erse environment for employees from all walks of life.

We’re building a fully remote team across North America (Canada & the US). We believe that creative collaboration can happen anywhere, and that working remotely shouldn’t have to mean sacrificing a sense of cohesion, community, and connection. We’ve seen that by combining thoughtful collaboration, frequent communication, and the freedom for people to be their authentic selves, you can do your best work and inspire others to do the same.

About the role:

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team to create and maintain THE go-to resource for designers and creative talent around the globe. We’re searching for someone with a passion for solving complex technical problems with elegant solutions, that thrives in a collaborative environment, welcomes feedback and exhibits strong attention to detail to join our engineering team.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be working alongside our product team to plan, build, and iterate on new and existing features. You’ll write automated tests to ensure quality and consistent user experience, identify areas of improvement or technical debt within our code base, and take ownership of your work. Whether it’s a nasty bug or an awesome feature, you put your name on every line of code.

Our tech stack:

• Dribbble runs its backend primarily in Ruby on Rails as a majestic monolith with a focus on clarity, maintainability and a solid test suite.
• We use PostgreSQL for application data, with a dash of Redis and Elasticsearch.
• Our frontend uses Sass and vanilla JavaScript, with heavy investments in VueJS as a lightweight framework to build feature-rich experiences.
• A rich set of tools support our engineering and platform with immediate feedback on our efforts, like performance tracking, error reporting, event tracking, automated tests of every commit, and uptime & platform health tracking.

We’re looking for:

• A pro with Ruby on Rails. You’ll be working on the backend of the application, so you know your way around Ruby on Rails, backend performance, and application architecture.
• A self starter. We are a fully distributed team so you’re comfortable managing your own time and working independently.
• A problem solver. Working at the scale that we do, we need an engineer who loves working with their team to determine smart solutions for our users.
• A solid teammate. Whether it be in code reviews, pair programming or just chatting with your colleagues, the desire to help your team be better and stronger is a driving factor at Dribbble.
• A thorough tester. With the amount of traffic our site gets, testing is a requirement, not a nice to have. Our ideal candidate will be comfortable in writing tests for their features, and understanding that we never push to production without passing tests.

Benefits

At Dribbble, you’ll join a erse team dedicated to learning, teaching, and growing; as iniduals, as a team, as a business, and as a community. As a workplace, we pride ourselves on doing right by our employees, and have a benefits package that makes being a part of the Dribbble team a dream job and something to be really proud of:
