Full Stack Engineer - Ruby / Rails + ES6 / VueJs - UsePixie｜Meet.jobs

About the jobDo you love that feeling when you ship a product to your customers and they go "THAT'S IT! this is exactly what we needed"?

We're looking for talented software engineers to work with us on the next iteration of our platform that has been receiving the above feedback. It will lay the foundation to accelerate our growth and shake the market with an ambitious vision of what practice management for accountants and bookkeepers means in 2022.

You will work with a fresh codebase and architecture, built with Rails 7 and the latest VueJs 3 framework, running in a Kubernetes AWS infrastructure. You will be challenged to make many technical choices regarding implementation and architecture.

As this is a Full Stack role you will be trusted to take user stories to their conclusion ie. shipping and owning the initial iterations. You will work very closely with our Product Designer and Head of Engineering to shape the features and accompanying UX journeys for our customers.

Our engineering team

We are building a highly-talented, mostly distributed team with a collaborative culture, where every day you will get the opportunity to be involved and influence design and technical decisions, see customers in action and directly interact with them to deliver the best solution in the market.

What is Pixie?

We are on a mission to build the operating system for the $450Bn accountancy and bookkeeping industry. Small firms are the unsung heroes of thriving business communities around the globe, working hard to ensure clients are compliant, organised and successful. But managing their own business can be challenging, jammed by too many manual processes.

Pixie gives them a simpler approach for practice management and workflow automation. 2,000+ accountants and bookkeepers in 15+ countries love our product and rely on it daily to manage work more effectively, scale their firm, and leave clients delighted.

We are based in London and backed by leading VC firms such as Seedcamp, MMC Ventures, Triple Point Ventures and Notion Capital.
