Stuart here, founder and current head of engineering at Rivo.

Interested in helping build and scale a rapidly growing Saas Company while sticking to Rails best practices?

What is Rivo?

We’re a powerful marketing platform that allows stores to connect with their customers through loyalty, review and omni-channel marketing campaigns. We’ve got over 142,000 Shopify stores on our platform, profitably bootstrapped and growing fast…

About the job

We have an opinionated style of writing code, mainly keeping to best practices, the 80/20 principle, and keeping things uniform and simple as a means to scale.
