As a Decisiv Development Team Lead, you will be in a position to contribute technically to a robust and heavily used application suite and also guide the work of other developers. The role requires a bundle of qualities that are hard to fake: humility, open-mindedness, technical acumen, good decision-making, experience, depth, curiosity, and kindness. We’re looking to grow a well-rounded and closely-knit team, so there’s not a fixed profile that we’re hiring for. We’re looking for game changers of all backgrounds who can make a unique contribution in a small team environment.

- Set expectations for your team for code quality and standards
Desired Skills and Experience
- Deep experience with Ruby and Rails
- Successful technical leadership of teams/projects
- Demonstrable success in API (RESTful) development
- UI/UX design with a modern JavaScript Framework

- Understanding of business requirements and acceptance criteria
- Selection of new technologies with creativity and due diligence
Bonus Points

We’d love to see your Github account, code samples, or anything that shows your work. If such are unavailable, we can give you a short coding exercise or pair with you. If you provide an example design document or README (or even an email) demonstrating thought and communication that’s helpful too.
