Job Description

You will work on both components, enhancing the existing website and developing new features to improve the platform, internal processes, and data collection. Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing front-end parts using the web stack: JavaScript/HTML5/CSS3/jQuery/Foundation Framework.
- Developing back-end parts using the web stack: Ruby/Ruby on Rails/PostgreSQL/Nginx/AWS.
- Monitoring a large user base and collecting data points using Google Analytics or MixPanel to improve internal dashboards.
- Performing scalability and maintainability software improvements to enhance application performance.
- Conducting manual user testing and utilizing user testing software to improve the website's UI.
