Overview

We’re looking for a junior engineer to join our fully remote team and help build out our point-of-sale integration pipeline and onboard retail customers onto our platform. You can be located anywhere in the United States.

We’re looking for a junior developer to join our 20+ person engineering team to help build integrations and onboard retail customers. We offer different tools tailored to retailers, distributors, brands, and importers that are all powered by the core SevenFifty data platform — a set of internal apps that enable data processing, normalization, and triaging & resolution of issues.
Our primary tech stack is Ruby-on-Rails apps, with a combination of classic server-rendered views and React components. Our B2B platform and internal web apps are hosted on Heroku and background workers run in EC2. Our newer customer-facing retailer web apps are built on containerized C#/.NET services. We use Postgres on Amazon RDS, Solr, Algolia and Elasticsearch for search, and RabbitMQ for queuing.
SevenFifty transitioned to being fully geo-distributed in 2019, and we communicate primarily using Slack, Zoom, and GitHub.
If you are uncertain whether you are qualified, especially if you are a woman, trans, gender-diverse, or of an under-represented minority, please apply! We would much prefer to have an extra application to consider, rather than that you screen yourself out.

Create, improve and adapt our data integrations with new and existing retail customers.
Implement data pipelines for point-of-sale software in our Ruby ETL (extract-transform-load) framework.
Help modernize legacy integrations and adapt them onto our Ruby/Rails stack.
Work closely with the engineering team to enhance our data infrastructure.
Collaborate with stakeholders outside the engineering team.
Technologies you’ll work with:
Ruby, SQL, and unix in our data pipelines
Rails and C#/.NET in our web applications
Heroku and AWS for hosting
GitHub, CircleCI, JIRA, Pivotal Tracker for workflow management and deployment
What you need:
Familiarity with software development concepts, via schooling, bootcamp or 1-2 years of experience.
An interest in data processing, modeling and architecture
A collaborative and iterative approach to development
Clear and concise written communication abilities
