软件工程师 II - (Ruby)

Stora is building the operating platform for modern self-storage businesses.
Our software helps operators manage bookings, payments, customers, facilities and day-to-day operations from one place, while automating much of the work that traditionally makes running a self-storage business unnecessarily complicated.
In just over four years, we’ve helped more than 300 operators process tens of millions in automated payments. We’re recognised as innovators in our space, and we’re a fast-growing, product-led team focused on making self-storage better for everyone.
About the role
We’re hiring a mid-level Software Engineer to join our growing product team.
You’ll work alongside experienced engineers to build and improve our Rails-based platform, contributing to customer-facing features, internal tools and the ongoing stability and performance of the product.
This role is well suited to someone with solid Ruby on Rails experience who is comfortable working across the stack, including JavaScript and CSS when needed.
We work best with self-starting team players: people who take ownership, communicate clearly and enjoy working in small, focused teams. You’ll have support from senior engineers, but you should also be comfortable working independently on well-defined tasks.
What you'll be doing

• Build and maintain product features, taking ownership from initial discussion through to deployment.

• Collaborate with Product and other stakeholders to define and refine the scope of new features.

• Contribute to app maintenance. We aim to spend at least 20% of our time improving stability, performance and developer experience.

• Write and maintain tests so we can confidently deploy to production multiple times per day.

• Investigate, debug and resolve issues to keep the system stable as we scale.

• Act on monitoring insights to keep the app performant and reliable.

• Contribute to code reviews and team discussions.

• Learn from senior engineers and continue developing your skills in a collaborative environment.

Our technology stack
Backend: Rails 7, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq
Frontend: Hotwire/Turbo 8, targeted React, ViewComponents, Sass, BEM
Testing: Minitest, Capybara, Selenium
Payments: Stripe Connect and Billing
Deployment: GitHub Actions, Heroku
What we’re looking for

• 3+ years of professional software development experience, including at least 2 years working with Ruby on Rails.

• Solid understanding of Rails and its ecosystem, including ActiveRecord, background jobs and the request/response cycle.

• Ability to work independently on well-defined tasks while collaborating effectively with the wider team.

• Comfortable working across the stack, including JavaScript and CSS when needed.

• Familiarity with writing tests using Minitest, RSpec or similar.

• Comfortable debugging and troubleshooting production issues.

• Good communication skills, with the ability to discuss technical challenges, trade-offs and blockers clearly.

• Excited to work in a small, fast-moving product team alongside experienced engineers.

Why join us?
Stora offers a collaborative environment where you’ll have room to grow, contribute and do meaningful product work.
We value honesty, humility and responsibility. We encourage everyone to contribute ideas, take ownership of their role and help us improve the way we build.
As part of Stora, you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on our product and play an important role in a rapidly evolving industry.
Benefits and compensation

• Competitive salary: From £50,000 (or Euro equivalent)

• Remote work: Fully remote within the UK or EU. Candidates must be based in either the United Kingdom or the European Union.

• Office access: Use of our Belfast office for those who live locally.

• Health and wellness: Private health insurance for you and your family.

• Retirement: Company pension plan.

• Leave: 35 days paid annual leave inclusive of public holidays (dependent on location)

• Professional growth: Share options, WFH budget and opportunities for in-person meetups.
