Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden humly Full time

Before Humly, Kristoffer (CPO) and Gustav (CEO) were college students and substitute teachers, dealing with the same problems many face with agencies: the last-minute work calls, the calls that don't come, the lack of power or say in your career, and so much more. So they built a home where educators are as important as the job itself. They built Humly, so educators globally can have the power to choose when, where, and how much they work – simply and easily, without hassle. With 23k+teachers across 7.5k+ schools/nurseries and growing, it's fair to say that Humly has turned into growth adventure.

About the Role

As Humly has graduated from Startup to Scale-up, the internal definition of "great" for our engineering efforts changed from "ship quickly" to "deliver well tested, clean and maintainable solutions for scale". As a Backend engineer in the team, your responsibility will be to make sure we live up to this transition. Over the years, we have accrued technical debt throughout our platform, and this is limiting our ability to take on higher traffic load and to build smarter and more efficient solutions. By contributing with experience in feature development,SQL design, caching, migrations, API design andintegrations you will ensure that we have a better foundation for the future. The faster you help identify and restructure our legacy code base, the earlier you can shift focus to building interesting and value-creating solutions on top of this improved foundation.

We are building new stuff in but yourexperience with Ruby on Rails would be a big plus as we are maintaining legacy while on this journey to refactor and improve our platform.

Responsibilities
  • Take ownership of our Ruby on Rails legacy code base.
  • Develop and maintain our native based backend.
  • Design and implement features from inception to production.
  • Ensuring that we have good observability and test setups
Our tech stack
  • (reasonable) microservice architecture
  • Frontend: React, Typescript, Material-UI, Remix, GraphQL
  • Backend: , Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, Postgres
  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, UpCloud, RabbitMQ, OpenSearch, Prometheus, Jaeger
  • CI/CD based on GitOps operational framework
Qualifications
  • BA or MS degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in backend development using Ruby on Rails,, TS and SQL.
  • Confident in most of the concepts listed here:
  • Fluent in English.
  • Located in or around Gothenburg (or willing to relocate)
Exciting things about Humly's product team
  • No sprints, but shaping and cycles:
  • Business-focused and data-driven approach to development
  • Lots of influence in a small and flexible team
  • Hybrid office model - flexibility with responsibility, ~3 days at the office
  • International and diverse team
  • Real impact on quality education - a UN Sustainable Development Goal
How we hire

We evaluate candidates continuously, don't wait - send us your application today

  1. Intro call- A first casual 30 minute conversation with our CTO about Humly's short and long-term goals and how those might be related to your personal career goals. This is a good time to discuss deal breakers and concerns you might have upfront.
  2. Technical interview - A 1-hour deep-dive into the craft of software development with a couple of our engineers. We let you describe how you engage with problem solving and you can share your opinions about technical debt, project management, and favourite tech stacks. This is also an opportunity to learn more about what our team enjoys about working at Humly, and ask the hard questions.
  3. CultureInterview- A 1-hour talk with our CTO and one of our founders into your previous experiences and learnings. Share with us your successes and failures and all the permutations in between. The goal is to get to know how what you've done before has shaped your perspective about the who/what/why/where/when of what you want to do next.
