What you'll be doing
Your work will be heavily focused on high level, high impact areas. You’ll work closely with Product Managers and Designers to plan, design, and implement some of our more complex features. You’ll have a strong voice in the development and planning processes, so senior-level experience is key.
We work in a weekly cadence and use Pivotal Tracker to keep things organized. While we keep meetings to a minimum, our team is heavily collaborative and takes advantage of modern tools such as Slack, Zoom, GitHub and Notion.
Our stack includes Ruby on Rails, Angular (we're currently migrating to Stimulus), PostgreSQL and Heroku. We’re currently on Rails 5.2 and strive to keep our frameworks and libraries up to date.
This is a position we consider essential to the company’s success. Be sure to mention coffee in your cover letter so we know you actually read this.

What's in it for you?
- Be a part of an incredible team of “A” players who go above and beyond to make Fleetio a successful company. We’re a customer-centric team with a great product, excellent support, and countless happy customers.
- Work from our HQ in Birmingham, AL or remotely (within the United States). Over 50% of our Engineering Team works remotely (including our CTO), and as a company, we strive to promote a strong remote working culture and have done so since the beginning.
- Build software used by people all around the world. So many different types of companies and organizations operate a fleet each day, and Fleetio is a good fit for most of them (it’s a huge market).
