Your new role 

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our team and work on the internationalization of every product at the company. We work on a ruby codebase that gathers translation keys from all our products, package them for translations and then make them available to all via various delivery methods. We also guide all teams within the company for a better internationalization of their applications.

What we’re doing every day:

• Work on an existing Ruby on Rails application and learn more about Ruby, Rails and the specificities of Internationalization. To help you go through it, you’ll be mentored by our team of seasoned engineers.

Sometimes help will be needed and you can ask questions on Slack or pair on Zoom with someone on the team. Don't forget your Rspec tests, we're serious about our testing and code coverage! Once you're all done and happy with your changes, push them to GitHub, create a pull request and wait for a review from the team. This time can be used to review code from other team members. Once the pull request is accepted and merged, a new Docker image will be created and be deployed in our Kubernetes infrastructure built on top of Amazon services.

• Get along with our Localization teams on various projects and initiatives, implementing tools or scripts to help make their work easier.

• Participate in technical discussions with the team and weigh on some of them with personal experience. Participate in the team rituals such as planning, retrospective, backlog grooming and remote social times.
