Job Description

The Role:

Crafty is seeking a senior developer with experience in Ruby on Rails to join our rapidly growing team! We are looking to add to our group of close-knit developers and product designers who work to automate and streamline the day to day needs of both our internal processes and clients needs. We’re building out internal API’s, internal tools, client facing dashboards, purchasing/recommendation algorithms, reporting capabilities...you name it, we’re finding a way to build it. Our team is organized into user focused pods each with their own dedicated product and engineering resources. We’re looking for someone who is ready and excited to lead! Responsibilities will include day to day development, making larger engineering design decisions along with managing, growing and mentoring other engineers on the team.

We believe that code should be deployed as soon as it’s tested, so you can look to have an impact immediately. Unit testing is very important to us because it allows us to catch errors early through continuous integration. Our development team works closely with our product team to assure that new stories are properly vetted before stories are passed into the development cycle. Because of the rapidly growing nature of our business, we are an agile workshop that views prioritization as the key to our success. Stories are vetted through our prioritization and design process so that by the time a ticket falls on your shoulders, you can expect proper definitions to be in place.

We take individual and team growth very seriously here, as our team is highly collaborative, supportive, and constantly learning about the latest technologies.

 
Who we are:

Crafty’s mission is to help companies craft better workplaces by providing the services and technology to deliver a modern, comprehensive food & beverage program for their employees, no matter where they work.  After operating with a vertically integrated supply chain (i.e., directly fulfilling orders from Crafty-operated distribution centers) in Chicago and the Bay Area, our team launched a third party fulfillment model that has rapidly scaled our coverage into over 25 markets globally, in just a year’s time.

At Crafty, we have a diverse, high-powered team, comprised of folks in technology, supply chain operations, field operations, sales, account management, and more. Our workplace is dynamic, fast-paced, and just plain fun; we pride ourselves in having an amazing mix of humans who make up our team!
