About the Role

iCapital is looking to hire a Backend Ruby on Rails Engineer. This role will work end-to-end on new features, enhancements, and defect resolution on one or more of iCapital's software platforms. The ideal candidate will work closely with our Product Management team throughout the software development process, detailing requirements, reviewing work in progress, and addressing issues found via testing. The role will be working with Ruby on Rails for back end.

At iCapital, we value expertise in other programming languages and business areas. More than checking the boxes on specific technologies, we are looking for driven team members with technical depth and a desire to deliver end products for our clients. If you are not already familiar with the technologies used at iCapital, you will have the opportunity to pick up these new tools and technologies while on the job—with support from management and mentors.

You’ll be able to opt-in into our internal technology rotation program that will provide you the opportunity to:

• Work across multiple functional areas supported by technology
• Gain a deeper and holistic understanding of how our technology platform operates
• Be exposed to different management styles

Responsibilities

• Backend feature development in Ruby (3.1.1) and Rails (6.x).
• Unit and integration test development using RSpec.
• Active participation in daily stand-up meetings.
• Active participation in Peer Code Reviews as part of our standard SDLC and Change Management Process.

Qualifications

• Degree in Software Engineering
• 2+ years of web-based application development
• 2+ years of development experience with Ruby on Rails. Python/Elixir would be a good substitute if less expertise on Ruby
• Demonstrated understanding of relational database concepts and modeling practices
• Passion for actively learning new technologies
• Ability to work independently or as part of a group effort, as required
• Solid problem-solving abilities
• Excellent communication skills
• Collaborative approach to software development

The base salary range for this role is $100,000 to $120,000. iCapital offers a compensation package which includes salary, equity for all full-time employees, and an annual performance bonus. Employees also receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes an employer matched retirement plan, generously subsidized healthcare with 100% employer paid dental, vision, telemedicine, and virtual mental health counseling, parental leave, and unlimited paid time off (PTO).  

We offer most employees the flexibility to work in the office three to four days a week, and remotely for the remainder of the week. Every department has different needs, and some positions will be designated in-office jobs or remote jobs based on their function.
