Job Description

Who You Are

===============

Are you a wiz with design and development? Do you have demonstrated ability to build, deploy, and maintain large-scale, distributed applications? Do you love coding and are you eager to learn more in a data-driven, entrepreneurial environment?

As a Software Engineer, you will be a part of our Core Engineering team, focusing on the core platform and services that power Justworks. You will leverage your experience working within a service-oriented architecture, and will maintain a working knowledge of separating data and functionality as necessary. You will be working primarily in Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, but prior knowledge is not a requirement.

Your Success Profile

========================

What You Will Work On

-------------------------

Collaborate with a cross functional team to improve and scale the frameworks our other engineers build on top of
Add capabilities to our high-volume, fault-tolerant processing infrastructure
Take ownership of designing and developing core application functionality
Implement internal services
Enhance our testing, monitoring and continuous deployment infrastructure
Keep extremely sensitive data compartmentalized and secure
Perform other related duties as assigned

How You Will Do Your Work

-----------------------------

As a Software Engineer, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately result in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following competencies:

Good judgement - the exercise of critical thinking, analyzing and assessing problems and implications, identifying patterns, making connections of underlying issues, understanding risks and developing mitigation strategies, and taking ownership of the outcome.
Resourcefulness - taking a can-do approach, even in the face of obstacles and constraints by assessing what’s in front of you and effectively and efficiently optimizing what you have, whether it's working on something new or thinking about how to do something better.
Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism.
Influence and leadership - fostering a community of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, mentorship, and forward-thinking.
Skills and knowledge - the capacity to actively learn and apply specific domain knowledge, know-how, and best practices to continually enhance and improve.

In addition, all Justworkers focus on aligning their behaviors to our core values known as COGIS. It stands for:

Camaraderie - Day to day you can be seen working together toward a higher purpose. You like to have fun. You’re an active listener, treat people respectfully, and have a strong desire to know and help others.
Openness - Your default is to be open. You're willing to share information, understand other perspectives, and consider new possibilities. You’re curious, ask open questions, and are receptive to thoughts and feedback from others.
Grit - You demonstrate grit by having the courage to commit and persevere. You’re committed, earnest, and dive in to get the job done well with a positive attitude.
Integrity - Simply put, do what you say and say what you'll do. You’re honest and forthright, have a strong moral compass, and strive to match your words with your actions while leading by example.
Simplicity - Be like Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

Qualifications
