Full-Stack Ruby & React Engineer

⛰️ Our Company

Trusted Family is the leading communication and governance platform for family businesses. It was founded 15 years ago by two Next Gens of very large European Families (Aliaxis and Solvay). Since then, close to 200 family enterprises spanning 25 countries have joined us, many of them being behind Fortune 500 companies, including Michelin, Yves Rocher, and Vermeer. Our platform allows them to have a centralized tool to communicate, organize events, streamline the education of the Next Generations, browse through the family tree, and many more. Our mission is to be the technology that unifies family enterprises across generations.

We have just launched our brand new product, making it more exciting than ever to join us and bring Trusted Family to the next level of growth and development.

Trusted Family operates as a hybrid company.

We have 25 amazing team members representing 10 nationalities and living in many parts of the world: United States, Mexico, Colombia, Portugal, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany and India.

We hire smart, autonomous, and driven individuals who are passionate about what they do and convinced about the impact we have on the families we serve.

We gather all together at least once a year during a memorable Company Offsite (this year in Lisbon) and have many occasions to meet in our regions during industry events or client conferences that we organize.

This role requires a deep understanding of both technologies, as well as the ability to architect scalable solutions that meet the needs of our diverse client base.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in building easy-to-use web applications, with effective code. You understand that your job is to deliver features with good user experience, not “just code”. You will work closely with our product and design teams to bring new features to life and optimise existing functionalities.

The role is based in Lisbon, Portugal or anywhere in Belgium, to be able to meet regularly with other team members who are based in these two locations.

🔑 Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with your backend and frontend peers as well as work on full stack features, as needed
• Help define, architect and estimate new feature requests
• Use full-stack knowledge to help debug and fix the most complex bugs in our applications
• Optimise existing features in the backend and frontend

🙌 Qualifications

• 5+ years in full-stack development:
  • Professional experience with Ruby (on Rails) applications
  • Professional experience with React applications
• Experience building and using GraphQL systems (ruby-graphyql + relay)
• Experience with both relational and no-SQL databases (Postgresql, Elasticsearch, Redis)
• Understanding of microservices architecture, and containerization technologies like Docker
• Knowledge of web application security best practices, including OWASP guidelines
• Experience with BDD and writing end-to-end tests
• Proficiency in Git, and the command line
• Excellent communication abilities in English (both written and spoken)

❓Why Join Trusted Family Now?

• A company that’s in it for the long run. We seek to build software that is used for a long time and that we can be proud of.
• A budget for going to a conference or training. We do like you share the knowledge you gained with our team afterward.
• A grown-up team, where “crunch time” and “rockstars” are things we like to avoid.
• A fun team that gets together in a video call on Fridays to celebrate previous week’s achievements.
• A yearly get-together where we fly everyone to the same location for a few days, giving us the chance to meet face-to-face with the people we see on our screens every day.
• Competitive compensation package.
