About the role
CityBase is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help us create platforms and products for local governments and utilities that facilitate richer, more consistent, and more accessible interactions with their customers and constituents. We're a fast-growing software company that uses cutting-edge technology, and we're looking for other like-minded individuals who are smart, empowered people to help define that next generation. We're excited to work with you to redesign the way millions of people access information and public services.
We use Jira for managing stories and bugs that we address in 2-week sprints (scrum-style agile). Our tech stack is a mix of Ruby, Rails, Elixir, Phoenix, and React. We use GitHub Actions for CI, and our applications are deployed to Kubernetes clusters in AWS via ArgoCD. Engineers are encouraged to limit in-progress work to one card each where possible. Pairing is optional and supported, but we've found that most developers prefer collaborating in design and through the review process and working independently in the code.
This position reports to a Software Engineering Manager, working closely with Product Management, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Support.
Responsibilities:
• Design, build, test, deploy and maintain applications for the delivery of digital services and payments
• Coach and mentor less experienced developers on the team
• Contribute to the evolution of the platform through strong architectural design
• Develop standards, tools, processes, libraries, and frameworks that facilitate the development of reliable, secure, performant, and consistent services
• Identify and resolve issues related to scalability and performance

• Strong preference to succeed as a member of a team
