Senior Ruby on Rails Developer

About us

At Presail, we make Web3 investment infrastructure. We’re on a mission to make it possible for retail investors to invest in startups that are not yet openly traded on public exchanges, and use Web3 technology to remove the barriers in traditional finance that have made venture investing inaccessible to anyone other than the rich and well-connected.

Presail was founded in 2021 and was originally built to help crypto investors correctly report their taxes. After working on an investor-oriented product for a while, we realised that the best way to serve the investors in the Web3 space was to make tools for the projects and the investment funds they were investing in. Today, our platform helps investment communities and projects raise funds, vest tokens, and manage their investors, in a safe and compliant way. The verdict from our customers is clear: Presail helps them stay on top of everything, it reduces scams and fraud, and it plays a crucial part in their compliance work.

About the team

We pride ourselves on making a big impact with a small team. Our team of 11 people works to deliver an exceptional product and customer service that places our clients first. Our offices are located in Oslo, but we are a remote-friendly company that hires from anywhere in the world.

The role

As a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer in the Presail Development team, your main mission will be to make new features that our customers and community will love.

Over the last two years, we have built an unmatched suite of features. Presail lets you raise funds, KYC your users, vest tokens, and even facilitate second-hand trading between investors inside a single platform. A crucial focus area for us going forward will be to ensure we keep raising the bar for the level of polish and product-thinking that go into the future updates we make to our app.

For this role in particular, we’re placing special emphasis on finding a responsible and proactive developer who can contribute to improving the development team’s internal QA processes. If you have a good eye for details and enjoy spending time on that last 10% of a feature that makes it functional to enjoyable, you may be a great fit for our team.

You cannot build and maintain a high-quality product without a codebase of the same calibre. In the Presail development team we believe strongly in continuous refactoring and automated testing, and are looking for someone who enjoys actively making time for both. If you are an experienced Ruby on Rails developer who enjoys building groundbreaking products as much as you enjoy writing readable, maintainable and performant code, we look forward to hearing from you.
