About The Position

Rubie helps companies with complex software configure and launch with their customers faster. ERPs, CRMs, and systems-of-record are notoriously difficult to set up and take a long time to prove value for the buyer. We partner with companies that make and sell this software to unblock their customer success teams from hundreds of hours of manual work pointing and clicking and dragging and dropping. At our core, we are accomplishing this by building agentic infrastructure to solve very thorny automation and migration challenges. We are very well capitalized (unannounced Series A) and there is no shortage of fun tech problems to solve here - we need your help to achieve our mission. Software engineers at Rubie are responsible for all parts of the stack, including frontend, backend, and a little bit of DevOps. The specific work will change from day-to-day (we’re a startup, after all), but generally involves: Contributing to product decisions: This role is not a good fit for someone who wants to be given a list of perfectly thought out tickets for a sprint. You will be expected to join customer conversations and have an opinion about where our product should go. Anticipating edge cases: The systems we are automating are constantly evolving and often do weird, unexpected things. You should be excited about this challenge, not overwhelmed. As an engineer at Rubie, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape our technology choices, but today our stack is: Frontend: React, Tailwind, Typescript Backend: Remix, Typescript Infrastructure: AWS, Cloudflare In some companies, portions of this role might be described as a “Product Engineer.” Although we expect less “pure” product work from our Founding Engineers, the reality of being an early hire at a startup is that you’ll have an enormous impact on many parts of the business, not just engineering.
