Who are we looking for?

Ventrata is looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer to join our dynamic team of talented developers who are revolutionizing how tours and tickets are sold worldwide. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a small team within a larger engineering organization at a rapidly growing company.

While we support a distributed/remote work environment, we also have shared office spaces available in Brno and Lisbon. Candidates based in these locations — or anywhere across Europe — are encouraged to apply.

• Optimization and refactoring of our ‘Dashboard’.
• Integration of new payment processing methods.
• Developing new features defined within the product roadmap.
• Design, build and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable Ruby code.
• Manage our database and external services.
• Integration of user-facing elements developed by front-end developers with server-side logic.
• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to these problems.
• Help maintain code quality, organization, and automatization.
• Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to best practices
• Troubleshoot and resolve bugs and performance issues.

We could write much more, but we believe that you as a Senior developer, know what is expected…

Requirements

What does our ideal candidate look like?

The ideal candidate will be a Ruby wizard with solid experience of backend engineering. You will be a critical thinker with a high attention to detail. You will need to keep up with the fast pace of development and thrive in a startup environment. Do you have previous experience with a ticketing system? Even better …

And a few more requirements…

• Expert knowledge of Ruby on Rails.
• Expert knowledge of PostgreSQL.
• Advanced knowledge of Google CLoud.
• Intermediate English.
• Familiarity with Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus
• Fast learner, who enjoys the dynamic scale-up working environment and is able to adapt to changes quickly and NO is not the answer you use (could be a tricky one during our team-buildings).

• We are fairly informal about working hours. We want to make sure you like your job and wanna go an extra mile for us.
• Unlimited paid holiday days.
• Start-up working environment.
• WFH or work remotely.
• Team buildings and company remote office. Sounds boring? The whole team met in Spain, South Africa, Italy, Portugal, France and this year also in Greece.

• Young and passionate team – the ‘Ventrata family”

• Christmas bonuses.
