AI-powered content suggestions, and much more. We are looking for a
Senior Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails, Remote) to join our small

remote work. Candidates of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

the world. ---About the Role You will be responsible for new

hardest things in computer science You are a clear written
communicator and great at being explicit in asynchronous
communications. Seldom do you need back-and-forth to clarify your

boring technology in a heartbeat on its technical merits ---What we
