Ruby Senior Engineer

Project Overview:

We serve some of the most historically underserved users, many of whom have been stuck using unintuitive and clunky software for their whole careers. It's not uncommon that users spend 4-6 hours+ a day using and interacting with Groove. Our goal is to elevate the user and the work they can do.

We're looking for awesome, well rounded engineers who want to take on big challenges, collaborate closely with others, grow a lot, and help shape the future of the company.
