The Global Marketing/Metro Expansion Engineering team at TaskRabbit partners with Marketing, Product, Design and Data teams to enable sustainable growth of the Client and Tasker side of the marketplace and to ensure we get the maximum return on marketing and engineering investments.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Global Marketing/Metro Expansion team, you'll be one of the leaders of our team helping to mentor other engineers, proposing creative and scalable solutions, and de-tangling the complex into the simple.

 You will be:

• Collaborating with engineering, data, design, and product management to conceptualize new infrastructural features and improvements for our client-facing code
• Contribute to our technical roadmap of ongoing improvements, enhancements and updates
• Participate in code reviews, listening to feedback and commenting on other approaches
• Invest in the documentation of best practices and coding patterns
• Help solve debugging, testability, and deployability problems
• Collaborate across teams to promote consistency
• Improve stability and consistency of existing and new backend & frontend code

 You should have:

• 5-10 years of experience, comfortable working independently
• 2+ years professional experience developing with Ruby on Rails
• 1+ years developing with React.js or similar js frameworks
• Experience building API-driven applications or endpoints
• Familiar with automated testing and JS build and packaging systems like Jest, Cypress, and Webpack
• Understand how to organize code across the stack: what belongs in the frontend, what belongs in the backend
• A strong advocate of clean code
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

 It would be a plus if you have: 

• Enjoy helping organize and scope high priority projects and plans to keep us moving forward
• Experience with a/b testing frameworks such as Optimizely
• A data-driven approach to development
