Are you a collaborative Full Stack Engineer with good knowledge of Ruby on Rails? We are looking for someone who will have a significant impact on the technical implementation of our customer-facing features.

• Mentor or lead other engineers
• Collaborate naturally with peers and functions outside of engineering, and with peers who are both remote and co-located in Spain and North America.
• They design and develop product features/services in coordination with a squad or multiple adjacent squads, handling ambiguity in requirements gathering and implementation in a self-contained way, and likely recording and structuring it effectively in Jira.
