Senior Full Stack Engineer

About WeTransfer

WeTransfer was founded in 2009 as the simplest way to send big files around the world. Today we’re a set of beautifully obvious tools to keep your ideas moving. At WeTransfer we understand you’ve got better things to do. It’s why, after ten years, we still keep things simple, make things stylish and stay away from any funny business.

In 2019, Fast Company named WeTransfer one of the world’s most innovative design companies “for being a one-stop-shop for creativity tools.”

Position

WeTransfer is looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who will be responsible for the happiness of millions of users by implementing new features as well as ensuring WeTransfer's codebase stays nice and shiny. You will do this in a team of passionate engineers that owns authentication and billing across all of our products.

Authentication & Billing

Your team enables effortless payment for our subscription offerings and a cross-product authentication solution (think Single Sign-On). These will provide a solid foundation as we explore deeper integrations of our set of products.

About our workflow

We believe that software is gardening. Software development is as much about creating as it is about keeping the thing you created healthy. As a team, we stand collectively for what we created and ever growing it into something our users love and use. We trust each other to make good decisions, but also to make mistakes and learn from them.

On the front end our products are built on React and Redux.
On the back end our main toolkit includes Rails for our majestic monolith, Rack, Sinatra and Sqewer for our services, RSpec for testing, and a number of supporting libraries.
We think that quality is a must, and we set the bar pretty high, but a pragmatic approach is desired to an over-engineered solution. Making our users happy is our best quality metric.

We bring our code to production using continuous integration and self-service deployments. Enabled by infrastructure as code built on top of the platform-as-a-service provided by our platform team, we own our products end-to-end.

Your qualification

• You have a passion for building end-to-end features for users, and can do so independently
• You're productive in a non-trivial React application with brownfield elements
• Experience with Ruby is a plus, but more important is an appetite to learn about new systems and get familiar with existing codebases
• 5+ years experience in software development
• Experience writing features covering infrastructure integration to UI development
• Good understanding of the web (and browser) security model
• Comfortable presenting own ideas to a team

Will be a plus

• Implemented large-scale SSO or SaaS subscription management solutions
• Contributed to Open Source projects
