Company mission

To make workplaces more engaging, fun, and productive. retention, and profit.

Role

Who you are

  • The role requires high agency and comfort with change. It requires people who believe the interesting problems in Engineering are stack-agnostic
  • It requires Engineers who believe that solving customer problems quickly is what matters first; building scalable systems matters when customer problems are scaling problems
  • 2+ years of professional experience, ideally in Ruby on Rails/React or openness to learn
  • Demonstrated strong product sense by actively engaging and contributing to product discussions. You have a passion for understanding user experiences and proposing solutions that prioritize user needs
  • While we agree the interesting problems in Engineering are stack-agnostic, we’d love it if you have experience with Ruby on Rails
  • We’ve found that Engineers with prior stack experience usually ramp faster
  • You’ve worked for a startup before and are looking for a similar role. Or, you've founded a company and are looking to get back into it
  • You understand SaaS business fundamentals (e.g. annual contract value, customer acquisition cost, and annual-recurring revenue) and can demonstrate how the work you’ve done influences these metrics

What the job involves

  • Engineers have the freedom to create a ton of impact for our customers
  • Work in React, Ruby, Rails, MongoDB, and Postgres to solve problems for our customers
  • Dive into all layers of the stack; frontend, backend, API, data processors, etc
  • Jam with Product Managers, Designers, CS, and other Engineers every day to shape the direction of our products
  • Share your knowledge with people in Engineering; engineers should get better at their craft because they work with you. Even if you’re early in your career, you have something to teach
  • Contribute to the psychological safety of your team. Software is built by groups of people, and good relationships matter

Our take

Being recognized for hard work can be a huge motivation for an employee’s career development, particularly when this recognition comes from peers. Many employers integrate reward and recognition schemes within the workplace, but these are often routine, impersonal, and ineffective at motivating staff.

Bonusly offers an online platform that allows workforces to show their appreciation for a peer through online recognition and rewards. Members are provided with a fixed amount of monthly 'points' which they can give to peers as a token of their appreciation in the public domain or privately. The company claims that the 'gamification' of these recognition and reward systems helps boost engagement, teamwork and collaboration within the workplace.

Gamification is becoming a common application within the workplace, and Bonusly’s application of this to recognition and reward seems obvious yet original. The company is in the process of adding non-US redemption options as well as scaling its travel and experiences offerings.
