Job description

  • You'll be expected to complete a Rails coding challenge as part of the interview process (everyone on the Decile Group team has done well on it).
  • You must live and work within a few time zones of Pacific (California) time. We are on Zoom and Slack a lot.
  • You must be able to take ownership of a complex feature and drive it to completion with minimal hand-holding.

  • Use AI to write better code, faster. Leverage AI tools throughout your workflow - code generation, debugging, refactoring, documentation. Model what AI-first engineering looks like at Decile Group.
  • Improve the systems around you. Identify technical debt that matters, propose solutions, and follow through. Leave the codebase better than you found it.
