tl;dr: We're looking for someone with Rails expertise and a high bar for quality to take ownership of the backend that powers Tuple.
Tuple is a macOS app for remote pair programming (with a Linux client on the way).
We (Ben, Spencer, and Joel) founded the company four years ago because we disliked pairing over Slack and Zoom. We believed that by focusing on remote pairing exclusively, we could create a tool that developers would actually like.
Turns out we were right! We've grown to millions in revenue and tens of thousands of paid users in four years without any outside funding. Our product is used by the savvy engineers at companies like Shopify, Stripe, Spotify, and Netflix.
(Want the latest on how things are going? Ben hosts a weekly podcast where he shares regular updates.)
Tuple is known for the high-powered experience of our native apps, but behind the scenes these are supported by a fairly lean Rails backend. This app serves as our billing portal, provides user management, does webhook handling, and provides an API for our native apps. This system was developed through the part-time effort of several people, but we'd like to find someone to take ownership of it as their #1 responsibility.
Along with the Rails backend, you can expect to work on API-based integrations such as our Slack app, Chrome extension, and Google Calendar integration.
As the primary developer for our web services, you will work directly with our founding team. You will have part-time contributions of other members of the team (several of whom have a Rails background) including regular pairing sessions with Joel, our co-founder and COO who has led the development of the backend to this point.
