Responsibilities

You'll need to understand the specific business logic for each project you're involved in, either by dealing directly with stakeholders or working through our project manager. As is the case at most agencies, you'll need to quickly understand the client's business, their challenges, and come up with smart solutions. It's often fast-paced and exciting work and it requires creative thinking

You'll collaborate with our frontend team. Our development teams work closely with each other and communicate directly with a PM available to facilitate communication as needed. As a backend developer, you'll need to clearly communicate constraints, and build APIs to support the frontend team's work

You'll write unit and integration tests in RSpec for mission-critical parts of our backend applications

You'll help define functionality, write specifications, and work with other teammates to articulate and document our approach

You'll meet regularly with other backend developers to share knowledge, set internal best practices, and discuss new tools and technologies

You'll write code, predominantly in Ruby, but possibly also in Javascript or other languages. At Cast Iron, we try to develop with a good deal of empathy and care toward the future developers who will work on the things we build

You'll manage your tasks carefully in Linear or in Github and provide thoughtful, accurate feedback to PMs and fellow developers

You'll be accountable to your teammates and treat them with kindness, respect, and empathy
