## About the Role

* you have experience creating products with Ruby
 * you have strong experience of software development
 * you're comfortable across the backend stack your squad owns: API layer, database, infrastructure
 * you have a product mindset: you're comfortable critiquing designs and understanding user journeys to help land on the best solution, not just implementing what's handed to you
 * you enjoy mentoring and levelling up the engineers around you

This role does require hands-on Ruby on Rails experience, given its focus on our core backend architecture and payments systems.

## Description

We're organised into three squads: Pitchside Experience, Clubhouse Experience and Platform. This role sits in Platform: the squad that builds the shared services, backend infrastructure and payments capability the rest of TFP is built on, including our move off Heroku.

Our engineers come from a variety of different backgrounds. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we'd love to talk to you: we do not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of our engineering roles.

Your day-to-day

 * Own the design and delivery of Platform features end-to-end: the shared services and payments capability other squads build on.
 * Show strong design judgement on ambiguous problems, and know when a simple solution beats a clever one.
 * Mentor other engineers and raise the quality bar in reviews and design discussions.
 * Help shape our move off Heroku and the architecture of what replaces it., * Ruby on Rails to write our API layer (there's a highly recommended Rails tutorial here)
 * Postgres for our database layer
 * Stripe to power payments: membership fees, club shop and fundraising all run through it
 * Currently our infrastructure is on Heroku, but we'll be moving off this soon: join us and help shape where
 * React Native for our mobile applications
 * We're moving to React for our web front end, but we're currently using Rails with Turbo, Hotwire and Stimulus
