Job Software Engineer en Remote

We, at Rasayel (https://rasayel.io), are a small, sharp-focused and deliberate team. We built Rasayel to help businesses support, sell and market to customers over WhatsApp. We started small with a stellar group of designers, engineers, and product folks. We do dream big, and we have plenty of big plans. We have recently raised our seed round from investors like Seedcamp, Entree Capital, and Founder Collective. We want to tackle our next set of exciting challenges in the next years to come and this is where YOU come into the picture, we want your help for us to do so.

You will get to work with product, engineering and design folks who are ex-Intercom, Instabug, and Evervault as well as folks who built popular open-source libraries like vee-validate. We are open, kind, inclusive and forward-thinking. You will find zero of the big tech co-bureaucracies or politics. We are all about good, deliberate, quality and meaningful work. :)

Here are few pieces of work you will have a chance to work on

• Building infrastructure for our WhatsApp Business API offering.
• Building a Bot framework tailor made for WhatsApp.
• Re-architecting our internal messaging pipeline.
• Build support for WhatsApp Business Calling.
• Build support for WhatsApp Groups.
• Rearchitecting & improving our internal messaging pipeline.
• Building infrastructure for meaningful marketing over WhatsApp.
• Building Public APIs & Webhooks.
• Grokking through our GraphQL layer or measuring queries performance
• And many more equally exciting and challenging projects!

About the role

We are looking to hire a Software Engineer to join our small distributed team around different parts of Ireland, Belgium, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, and Canada. Ideally, we are looking for a generalist, someone who can wear many hats, someone who is pragmatic, a product engineer at heart and most importantly, who thinks from first principles (https://fs.blog/2018/04/first-principles). We work remotely, so this is a 100% remote role. You can choose to work anywhere you'd like having a few hours overlapping with GMT+0.

About you

A little bit about what we think can be a good fit for us,

• You are a product engineer at heart.
• You have worked with Ruby on Rails.
• You aren't afraid to dabble in Rails internals if you need to.
• You worked extensively with PostgreSQL, and you can write raw SQL if you need to.
• You worked with REST, and GraphQL APIs and you can put an argument for using one over the other.
• You aren't afraid to work with Javascript, Typescript and/or Vue.js.
• You understand the value of writing tests, as an investment for the future.
• You have worked with any cloud provider, preferably AWS.
• You have worked with Docker and preferably touched on AWS ECS.
• You have done your share of DevOps work. The more the merrier.
• You write your code with empathy for your fellow Engineers and for future readers.
• You favour simplicity.
• You are self-driven and can self-manage.
• You can write and communicate in English succinctly. You wrote technical plans before, we do write a lot.
• You love to take on complex problems, and you don't shy away from fixing issues.
• You have some remote experience, and you understand its challenges.
• You can take and give feedback openly.
• You are kind, and there is ≥5% chance we will see you smile. :)
• You like to work in a small team and have direct ownership of your work.
• You think of technology, not as an ideology but rather as a means to push value into the world.

Your engineering skills are as important as your entrepreneurial skills to us. We value generalists who can take a problem from its most ambiguous state and deliver its end value to solve a real-world problem for our customers. We value folks with high ambition, high passion, and those with self-agency.  If you reach out, leave something personal so we know you actually read this. 😉
