• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer building complex, performant, customer-facing enterprise applications using Ruby on Rails.

• A willingness to learn any part of the stack: back-end services, data layer, web interfaces, API’s, 3rd party integrations and so on

• Full ownership of the code you write, from the technical design through to production
• Bias towards action and solutions

Our engineering culture:

• Proof has a strong focus on mentorship, with regular 1:1s, reviews, and check-ins to ensure that you are learning & growing as an engineer. Your manager will help you set personal goals, support your learning, and track your progress against those goals, to encourage you in the growth of your career, wherever it may take you. 
• Communicate it: You'll be part of a small, cross-functional team with a highly collaborative process that values thoughtful communication, not just with other engineers but with all parts of the organization. 
• Ship it: We have a very tight, almost continuous deployment cycle. We ship most of the code weekly, alongside a daily Fastlane process with a focus on small features & improvements. 
• Fix it: We’re a startup with big plans, and there’s so much to do. Whether it’s an antiquated legal process, an edge-case user interaction, a quirky piece of code, or unnecessary friction in the CI/CD process, we show up every day with the goal of digging in and leaving something better than we found it.

• Pave the Way: When obstacles arise, we break through barriers with passion and perseverance. We lead with creativity and forward-thinking. We aim to set new standards and shape the future in a repeatable, scalable way so the path to success is easier for our team to follow.
• Own It: We embrace the responsibility that comes with supporting life's most important transactions. When a problem arises we relentlessly pursue the solution with a 'Yes before no' attitude. Because every problem and every transaction is treated like it's our own.

If we make a mistake, we own up to it right away and do what it takes to make it right. Our dedication to security and compliance is key to earning trust, fighting fraud and ultimately, our success.
• Play to Win: We believe excellence is about always striving to be better so when we get it wrong, we iterate, we learn and we grow. We know we can only go so far alone, we're better together and collectively, we win!
