About the role
You'll be part of our awesome engineering team, helping to build our product. We primarily use Rails, Mysql, Redis and Sidekiq to get the job done. We're facing real (fun) scaling challenges because of our incredible growth. Ideally, you've been there, done that before.

About you
You’re a perfect fit for this role if you’ve got experience developing software, love pragmatic OO design for its long-term cost benefits, and testing. Clean code is not just a phrase for you. Given our high rate of growth, you'll need to have strong knowledge of scaling Rails applications up.

About Ticketsolve
Ticketsolve is a web based online and box-office ticketing platform. We currently have over 290 clients based throughout UK and Ireland. These clients are a mixture of Theatres, Arts, Festivals and specialty offerings such as Ice Skating and Christmas attractions. We are a consistently profitable company with healthy year on year growth. The new features and abilities we are adding to Ticketsolve puts in a place to deliver strong growth in the coming years.
Introduction
We are currently going through a very exciting evolution of our platform. We are moving from a traditional RoR architecture to a modern "single page application", exposing our application as a set of API's consumed by Ember to provide a rich interactive experience.
We have migrated our customer facing ticket selling application to Ember and our ticket scanning application to Ember, with great success. We are currently working on rebuilding the backend of our platform with the present focus been on our "Point of Sale". We are now looking to add to our team to accelerate the creation and rollout of this change across the remainder of our platform. This covers the CRM, reporting/analytics and configurations aspects of our backend.
To do this we are looking to hire new people to join our team. Ideally this person will have Ember experience. However, we are also interested in talking to people with a strong javascript background and background with other similar frameworks. In terms of experience we are open to both beginner and experienced developers. Where necessary we will put in place a bootstrap to help people come up to speed on Ember.
Skills & Requirements
- 2+ years experience developing web applications
- Experience with programming Javascript required with role focused on Ember based development
- Ruby/Rails experience a bonus but not strictly necessary
- Strong understanding of front-end technologies: JavaScript, HTML5, SASS, Ember preferred, but not required
- Strong programming skills with focus on clean design, well refactored code and automated testing
- Comfortable working as part of a remote team
Technologies we use
- Ruby on Rails is our primary server framework evolving towards pure API server
- Ember is our primary front end development framework
- JSONAPI::Resources, http://jsonapi-resources.com/, is how we are building our API’s
- MySQL / Redis / Elastic are our primary storage engines
- All our servers are Ubuntu based managed through CHEF
- Deployed on AWS using terraform for managing infrastructure
- GitHub for source code management and process support
- Travis for continuous integration
How we work
We run a lightweight process that focuses on feature based delivery on a weekly basis. Our co-ordination and communication is largely through daily 'catch-up meetings' and use of appropriate tools such as Trello for backlog management, Slack for communication and Git(GitHub) for source control and feature deployment through PR's and Milestones.
From a coding perspective we place a strong emphasis on clean, minimal, well refactored code backed up by strong suite of automated tests. We make use of peer review for all design and development work.
In general we strive for an approach that empowers and trusts individuals to 'do the right thing' and as a team we try and keep each other true to this.
Remote working
Our development team works as a remote team with members in Berlin, Malmö, Barcelona, Singapore and Taiwan. Our wider organisation has people based in United Kingdom and Dublin. Dublin is our headquarters and main office space - with core Support team and Sales and Marketing team.
Remote working has become part of our company DNA. We believe that it offers a lot of advantages to both Ticketsolve and employees. We expect that our new hires will likely be remote working. This means that you should be comfortable working as part of a remote team. If this is new to you, don't worry, it was for us at the beginning as well. We now have lots of experience helping people settle in - so keep an open mind and imagine a working day with no daily commute.
Important to note that timezones are a consideration for us with remote working. Our experience is that European and Asian time zones are preferable, as it allows for collaboration at reasonable times.
Recruitment process
We are initially looking for resumes and portfolio examples of your work e.g. GitHub repositories, blog articles, etc. If you do not have anything suitable we can provide a problem piece to work together on. Please submit resumes to shanly@ticketsolve.com with subject "Job Application".
From there we filter down and do a series of remote interviews. These are often 'work' focused i.e. looking at code together, pair programming for example. Our preference is for candidates to talk to as much of the team as possible so that we, team and candidate, can make the best decision possible. If appropriate and makes sense we will also look at facilitating face to face meetings as well.
After this stage we will be in a position to make a formal offer.

Remote Ruby Developer for SaaS Web Product
Position: Full-time Ruby Developer for SaaS Web product
Reports To: Product Manager
Demand: Typically, 40 hours per week during normal business hours
Location: Remote (within the U.S.) or on-site in Dayton, Ohio
Start Date: Flexible
Application: http://bit.ly/OAMMRUBYDEV
Once a Month Meals (OAMM) is a Web-based product and community with the goal of empowering wellness through meal planning and freezer cooking.
OAMM believes that your work, time and hobbies shouldn’t come at the cost of family and health. Gathering around the dinner table, eating with those you care about and enjoying a nutritious meal is paramount to our mission. Therefore, we create software to further empower individuals to bring back family dinner time without sacrificing the little spare time they have available—giving our users time for what matters most.
OAMM began as a mom blog in 2009 with a deep, rich, invested community. Over the last several years it has emerged as a SaaS product fueled by the passions and membership of the community. The technology side of our product is exciting and challenging to build but unlike many other SaaS products, it isn’t the technology that drives the product. The driving force is our community/membership. We believe strongly that these two things, technology and community, have to be in balance and we are looking for a web developer that can respect, appreciate and aspire to help us grow both. OAMM is also committed to steady growth through self-funding as we evolve our product.
The Position
Once A Month Meals is looking to add to its technology team an experienced Ruby Developer. As part of the OAMM technology team, you’ll work with freezer cooking, “cooking math,” ecommerce, and more. You’ll need to be comfortable with SQL databases like MySQL and Postgres, and either understand (or be able to come up to speed quickly on) Solr. Experience designing, building, and supporting HTTP APIs with authentication is important, because we leverage a number of third party APIs for crucial aspects of our systems.
It will be important to have the experience and ability to do some long-term, big-picture architecture thinking but have the skills and desire enough to implement this architecture through solid, tested code.
Your job duties will include:
- Maintaining two Rails apps
- Keeping the Ruby gems updated on staging and production environments
- Watching and improving performance (speed and analytics) of APIs
- Build, maintain and test new features
- Develop automated deployments and tests
- Assistance in setting technical direction for the OAMM products
Skills/Tools/Qualifications:
- Ruby
- Rails
- MySQL
- Postgres
- Git
- Automated deployments (Capistrano, etc.)
- Stripe API
Because we are a small (8 full-time and 3 part-time), fully-bootstrapped team, we all play multiple roles. As we grow, we want to continue to build a product design and development team. This position will be a key-player on that team with opportunity to impact the technical architecture and the future development team.
The ideal candidate is:
- a self-starter—they seek out opportunities to learn new methods or technologies
- a problem-solver—they figure out how to get things done
- comfortable with task runners like gulp and grunt
- competent with git and github
- mindful of performance and interested in implementing tools like performance budgets
- unashamed in their support of accessibility best practices as well as progressive enhancement and responsive design
- able to communicate effectively in writing and in-person
- willing to balance all constraints of a problem: user needs, timeline, budget, product vision
- A meal planner - they see the benefits and are willing to plan meals for themselves on a regular basis
Experience with deeper software development best-practices (or strong desire to grow into them) is a plus:
- work with other members of the product team to build modular, maintainable and reusable code
- work with internal and external resources to implement fixes and features to the stack currently in place (WordPress, Sass, Rails, Ember)
- recommend and implement best-practices around developer productivity, source-control, automated testing, API design, security, performance and share our learnings with the greater tech community
Additional experience in the following strongly desired:
- Solr
- CircleCI
- Docker
- PHP
- Familiarity with javascript frameworks such as React, Ember, or Angular
The Culture
OAMM strives to create an environment where individuals are encouraged to work independently but enabled to work collaboratively. We recognize the importance of balance and are very family-friendly.
The Benefits
- Competitive Salary
- Personal Days: Two weeks (plus one week holiday shutdown and minimal standard US holidays due to peak sales periods matching those holidays—so we try to make up for it during the year)
- Flexible Schedule: Work when you want, just provide us with some Eastern Time Zone overlap for meetings
- All the hardware and software needed to do your job
- Opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of families

Inbound Sales Engineer
DESCRIPTION
We (Kinsta.com) are a modern cloud hosting startup focused on WordPress hosting. Our awesome, talented, and motivated team is scattered across the globe: Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, and South America.
Our client base is growing steadily, and we’re looking for a competent inbound sales engineer with exceptional communication skills and technical background to be an amazing first point of contact for the inbound sales process!
As a Kinsta Inbound Sales Engineer, you will:
- Answer questions regarding our hosting plans, features, capabilities and platform from all leads that are generated by our marketing team’s efforts. This may include leads from our website, chat, social media, sales email, or any other inbound contact method.
- Discuss with sales leads their requirements, needs, and questions via email/ticket and voice communication (Google Meet, Zoom.us, Skype, Phone, etc.).
- Provide inside sales assistance to existing clients and to Kinsta’s sales team by pricing custom hosting plans, generating custom proposals, coordinating temporary server upgrades, answering plan upgrade/downgrade questions, and various other sales-related tasks.
- Respond to leads in a way that takes into account their skill level, expectations, and needs. The skill level of our existing and potential client base varies from beginner to expert and everything in between. Additionally, our client base ranges from personal blogs and websites to e-commerce and all the way up to mission critical enterprise websites. As such, the ability to gauge and sense how to approach inbound sales leads is imperative!
- Produce satisfied customers by helping people, understanding their needs, demonstrating technical expertise to build trust, and guiding the customer to the right product or service. This is not a role where memorizing keywords, reading from scripts, or simply replying with knowledge base links is acceptable!
- Monitor trends and provide feedback gathered from the inbound sales process to the appropriate internal team.
- In coordination with the Director of Sales, create, standardize, and document sales processes and workflows.
- Engage in ongoing education to develop relevant skills and knowledge.
- Keep up to date with developments in the WordPress community to understand upcoming changes and issues faced by WordPress users.
REQUIREMENTS
The customer experience is one of the cornerstones of our business. Our clients have come to expect industry-leading support and it's our pleasure to deliver that to them. We take the same approach with prospective clients by providing high-level care and assistance.
As a Kinsta Inbound Sales Engineer, you must meet the following core requirements:
- Fluent in written and verbal English. You need to be an exceptional writer and completely comfortable jumping on multiple sales calls every day.
- Prior experience in a similar or related customer-facing role, preferably dealing with a SaaS, PaaS, or WordPress-related product or service.
- Must be fluent in WordPress. For example, you need to know what domain mapping is in the context of multisite, you need to have an opinion about Gutenberg, you need to have a good working knowledge of the most common WordPress plugins and themes (Yoast, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, Avada, Genesis, etc.), and pretty soon after starting in the role you’ll need to be able to explain why it’s a bad idea to count each page load with a call to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. If any of the preceding information is intimidating or completely foreign, it’s likely that this role won’t be a great fit for you.
- Technical experience using WordPress and related technologies such as CDN, DNS, Linux, PHP, MySQL, caching, DNS, and domain names is required. You do not need to be a developer or systems admin; however, you do need to understand and feel comfortable discussing these topics via both written and verbal conversations.
- Eagerness to learn and understand new technical concepts.
Things To Remember When Applying
When you apply, make sure you include a cover letter that points out how you meet the requirements in this listing. Each of these requirements was included after careful thought and deliberation, so we’re really curious to know how your experience and expertise can be applied in this role. Lastly, let us know what you think about the Gutenberg project in a few words. Doing these things is your chance to flex your WordPress knowledge and to show that you reviewed this listing carefully.
BENEFITS
This is a fully-remote role. You can work from anywhere as long as you have reliable internet access and a quiet environment for sales phone/VOIP calls as needed.
This position offers a great deal of flexibility, responsibility, competitive salary, and opportunity for growth for the right candidate.

REQUIREMENTS
The ideal Kinsta Support Engineer is technically-knowledgeable, upbeat, professional, curious, and self-motivated.
Excellent support is one of the cornerstones of our business. Our clients have come to expect industry-leading support and it's our pleasure to deliver that to them. As a result, we're pretty careful about adding new Support Engineers to our team.
We hire Support Engineers with a variety of different areas of expertise - some of us are WordPress developers, others are Linux server gurus, while others are technically-knowledgeable internet generalists who have mastered the art of customer service.
All of our Engineers must meet the following core requirements:
- Completely fluent in English with excellent written communication skills.
- Capable of thriving in a fast-paced and occasionally stressful environment interacting with multiple clients simultaneously while maintaining a professional and friendly tone.
- Our Support Engineers must know WordPress deeply. All we host is WordPress and we have the best support team in the business (even if we do say so ourselves). While you don't have to be a full-fledged WordPress developer to be a Kinsta Support Engineer, you do need to know the WordPress database and file/directory structure as well as the wp-config.php file like the back of your hand. Experience with WP-CLI certainly advantageous.
- A basic understanding of or familiarity with the following technologies: Linux, NGINX, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DNS, CDN, and caching (object and page).
- Consummate professionalism: we're a distributed team and we expect you to act like the professional we know you are. That means being a member of the Kinsta team requires excellent communication, rock-solid reliability, and the drive to bring your best effort to bear on your work every single day.
Our Support Engineers deal with a lot more than just WordPress! While you don't need to be a full-stack developer to fill this role, you will be providing hosting support to full-stack developers, so you do need to be familiar with the full-stack, from Linux web servers to browser dev tools.
Bonus points:
- Completely fluent in a second language. Languages we're currently targeting include: Italian, French, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, and Norwegian. If you are fluent in one of these languages please highlight this information when you apply!
- Deep expertise in any (or all!) of the following: WordPress, Linux, NGINX, PHP and MySQL.
- Experience setting up, managing, and supporting LEMP/LAMP stacks.
- Prior experience working with customers over chat in a technical role in a fast-paced environment - particularly experience providing live support for web hosting or WordPress products.
BENEFITS
This is a fully-remote role. Our Support Engineers can work from anywhere they have reliable internet access.
We always use the latest version of everything: PHP 7.2, NGINX, Ubuntu 18.04, Linux containers, Google Cloud and more, so you’ll be able to work with a bunch of exciting technologies and use them every day!
This position offers a great deal of flexibility, responsibility, competitive salary, and opportunity for growth for the right candidate.
