Fullstack Software Engineer (Rails)

ExtendMed
Full-time
On-site
Evanston, IL
$80,000 - $110,000 USD yearly
Do you take great pride in solving problems and making life easier for others through technology?
We are looking for a full-time Full Stack Software Engineer to help us advance our flagship platform product, Health Expert Connect.
 
At ExtendMed you will play a key role and be valued daily for it. The Software Engineer role values skillful communication, negotiation, and flexibility. We seek a sharp, competent engineer and accomplished, assertive resource manager.

This role is hybrid, meaning we prefer 2-3 days in our Evanston office (North of Chicago) but we are open to other arrangements.

We expect employees to be involved in the entire lifecycle of our products, including supporting customized systems and office infrastructure. Our small size also means that we value creativity in problem solving and give our employees the freedom to try new approaches.
 
The ideal candidate will demonstrate focus, team relationship skills, and comfort working on various projects concurrently. Demonstrated experience, creative problem solving, and an instinct for optimizing are all far more valuable than a CS degree, so your background takes a second seat to your skillset.

Our core team currently consists of the CEO, CTO, and a small team of project managers, designers, and engineers. You would report directly to the CTO but would be interacting directly with everyone on a daily basis.

We have a friendly work environment and competitive benefits. We embrace a healthy, balanced work lifestyle and have a tight team of positive and friendly team members. Our office in central Evanston is in close proximity to a variety of eateries, shopping, and the El and Metra stations.

Our technologies are listed below, with required experience starred. You would be provisioned an Apple Macbook Pro for development work, and office necessary hardware (monitor/mouse/dock/etc).

Software Development stack
  • Our environments live on AWS, utilizing EC2/, RDS, S3, Cloudwatch, Cloudfront, ALB, and Lambda.
  • Our platform is segmented into QA, Staging, and Production environments, all sandboxed and isolated from each other completely.
  • Our webservers live behind an Application Load Balancer, each running a Fedora 9 variant, Nginx webserver, with Puma application servers. These servers are provisioned with Ansible.
  • The Health Expert Connect platform backend currently runs on Ruby 3.2.2, Rails 7.1.1. The frontend utilizes a mix of Bootstrap, vanilla Javascript/JQuery, and React/Redux (using importmaps) for highly interactive widgets. Automated testing is managed with RSpec.
  • The Health Expert Connect platform has several PORO integrations with other applications, such as Zoom/Teams/Docusign/Mailgun/Calendly.
Project Management stack
  • Google Apps for email
  • Atlassian products (JIRA/Bitbucket/Pipelines)
  • Zoom Workspace for meetings, chats, and notes
Listed salary range is based on experience and skillset.
