We are excited to announce an opening for a Senior Backend Engineer at our innovative company, which specializes in mobile attribution services. This position is tailored for candidates who are not only experienced in building backends for web applications but are also passionate about contributing to a dynamic and agile work environment.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience working with Ruby frameworks, particularly Rails and Sinatra. They should also possess a strong background in developing applications that utilize both relational and non-relational databases. In addition to coding skills, familiarity with managing infrastructure via Kubernetes is essential. As a remote-only team, we value collaboration and expect our engineers to be comfortable working in a distributed setting while maintaining effective communication.

Our core business revolves around mobile attribution, a critical area as we provide comprehensive analytics that empower mobile developers to understand user acquisition sources effectively. Presently, a significant portion of our business logic is written in Ruby. However, we are in the process of transitioning this logic to Go, seeking individuals who can contribute to this exciting shift.

Although this is a senior-level role, we are open to considering mid-level candidates who demonstrate exceptional alignment with our team's needs and culture.
