    Senior Backend SWE (Data & OS)

    ProducePay Job description

    About ProducePay ProducePay lives at the intersection of Technology, Agriculture, and Finance. The Los Angeles-based company has raised over $290M to help bring tech to the fresh produce industry. We work with hundreds of farmers, distributors, and retailers to modernize the supply chain and place trust at the center of every transaction. We provide financing, pricing analytics, and a whole suite of tools to help our customers make better decisions faster, which lets them focus on what they do best: feeding the planet! (Watch a video overview here)

    Bringing technology to a traditional pen and paper industry is hard, but we’ve been able to do it by building an incredible product and engineering team. We focus on providing value to our customers and constantly checking our assumptions to make sure we’re delivering a product that our customers will love using. We’re constantly learning, growing, and improving to create the best work environment possible, and we love to bring on new team members who are ready to teach and learn!

    Finally, we are proud to be a diverse workplace and will give consideration for employment regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

    Role Summary We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Data & OS team at ProducePay. This team is building tools and workflows to form the central “operating system” of the fresh produce industry. By ingesting millions of dollars in produce transactions every day, we are able to provide enhanced intelligence and reporting to our customers and empower them to grow and expand their business.

    Responsibilities & Duties

    • Work with the product, design, sales, and marketing teams to build new software products that meet our customers’ needs.

    • Take ownership of technical direction, design, and architecture for new features within our platform.

    • This role is more backend focused, but there are no backend-exclusive roles at ProducePay. We’re looking for someone to demonstrate technical leadership on the backend but who is also willing to work on the frontend, write a one-off script, or work on anything else that needs to get done.

    • Rapidly iterate on new features, experiments, and designs. This can range from building out our backend APIs, to creating charts to display data in our frontend, or writing a quick script to see whether we should build out an idea to a bigger feature. We’re looking for someone who knows how to balance quick iteration of ideas with clean, sustainable code.

    • Mentor and guide other engineers using your awesome knowledge and experience. Whether through code reviews or pair programming, we want to learn from you.

    • Continue to grow your skill set and knowledge. We are committed to investing in ourselves and our team.

    Desired Experience & Qualifications

    • Extensive experience with building web applications. You’ve seen some stuff, and whether it’s good, bad, or ugly it continues to inform the decisions you make on the software you build.

    • Experience with Ruby on Rails or similar backend framework

    • Our stack includes React, Rails, GraphQL, and Postgres. We’re looking for team members excited to work with these technologies.

    • Experience shipping production-quality software for 5+ years.

    • Experience working with agile software development processes.

    Who you are

    • You thrive in a fast paced environment. You enjoy solving large and oftentimes ambiguous problems.

    • You are obsessed with the user experience and have a passion for building products that delight users.

    • You take ownership of problems and drive to accomplish what is necessary to solve them. You don’t believe in silos or flinging tasks over a fence.

    • You are a lifetime learner that isn’t afraid of diving into something new.

    • You love to collaborate on problems that are bigger in scope and impact than what you could accomplish by yourself.

    • You want to work with other team members that share the same passion and drive for awesome tech and products as you and have a great time doing so.
