Who We Are Since 2007, Quimbee has helped more than 100,000 law students prepare for classes and final exams. We provide law students with access to a comprehensive database of case summaries, video lessons, practice questions, a legal dictionary, and a growing library of content. We have become one of the most widely used and trusted sites for law students, serving both institutional clients, such as Yale University, American University and University of Illinois, as well as thousands of individual law students. Who Were Looking For We prefer a small and highly effective engineering team, so every new team member is vital to the success of the company. You must be a senior, seasoned developer. Technically, were mostly interested in your recent Ruby on Rails and general web development experience at all levels of the stack, from front end JS apps, to dealing with search engines, site reliability and performance, and everything in between. Youll join a small tech team, so your voice will be heard when we need to make new technical decisions as our product grows. We expect you to go beyond coding to give input on the product roadmap, design, and architecture. Generally speaking, you should be:

• A versatile engineer. You know what you dont know and feel comfortable learning new skills. Youre not ashamed of recognizing mistakes and take measures to avoid falling again.

• A team player. You share code-ownership as much as possible. You don’t mind fixing other peoples code or stepping in to help a teammate.

• A full-stack developer. You have lots of experience building Rails applications, and youre also comfortable writing front-end code (HTML/CSS/JS).

• A minimalist. You believe a new feature should be built only when the evidence supports it. Youre willing to push back when you believe this rule is being ignored or violated.

• A great communicator. You communicate your ideas, feedback, and criticism thoroughly, clearly, and courteously. You believe theres no such thing as over-explaining or over-clarifying because thats how miscommunication is avoided.

Examples of tasks youll be assigned to (solo or in a team)

• Investigate issues reported by our customer support team, determine impact and root cause, and solve them.
• Discuss new features with our content team and help define the best solutions possible with a focus on the business needs and expected timelines.
• Participate in the scheduled planning meetings to discuss and estimate work for the iteration.
• Keep an eye on our infrastructure monitoring and investigate potential issues (we all do ops).
