Software Engineer | True Link Financial | San Francisco, CA (onsite)
Our software stands valiantly between scammers and grandma's money.
I found out about this big-hearted YC company from the June 1st Who's Hiring thread and started working full-time on June 15th. Here are some things I've done since then:
- Learned a ton about how payment processing works under the hood
- Used Twilio to add functionality to our phone system so our CS friends have a lower call volume
- Gotten coffee/lunch with pretty much everyone on the team (we're still small)
- Increased gif / screencap usage in PRs &amp; code reviews
- Automated transaction auditing, saving lots of person-hours &amp;&amp; increased test coverage
- Helped translate fast-speaking Spanish on a few CS calls
- Observed how a nimble startup implements Grown-Up-Business-Level security
- Finally actually learned what ruby's #inject method is all about
- Had a real reason to consult POODR
We're looking for nice people who have worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before - someone who can make things better without being rude, judgemental or arrogant about it. We'd prefer session musicians over rockstars.
Email REDACTED_EMAIL and we'll get back to you within 2 business days, pinky swear!
keywords for you CMD+F types (not requirements) - rails, RoR, ruby, fintech, full-stack, chinchillas
