The role

Our client is building an infrastructure that will define the new era of corporate wellness. Backed by Itnig, the mission is to make employee benefits management 100% centralized for SMBs, eliminating administrative and technological complexity.

It is the trusted infrastructure for major players in the sector in Italy and now also Factorial, which is now looking for colleagues to help bring this capability to more companies across different countries in Europe.

To achieve this, we are looking for versatile professionals with a product-driven mindset and a drive to make an impact. We are a team of problem solvers, naturally curious, with a strong culture of growth, where collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and collective evolution are paramount.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend applications using Ruby on Rails.

  • Build secure, high-performance RESTful APIs and system integrations for cloud platforms.

  • Develop and implement microservices that improve the scalability, reliability, and maintainability of the application.

  • Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including technical design, development, code reviews, testing, deployment, and production support.

  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver high-quality software solutions aligned with business requirements.

  • Optimize database interactions and application performance, ensuring code quality and maintainability.

  • Write unit and integration tests to ensure reliable and stable software releases.

  • Contribute to technical discussions, architectural improvements, and the continuous enhancement of engineering best practices.

Your Mission

We are not looking for someone who just "participates" in the project, but rather...

We are looking for a proactive person who wants to take responsibility and grow together with the project.

Your main challenge will be supporting your backend teammates in development, but you'll also need to roll up your sleeves and handle other tasks when the situation calls for it.

On a day-to-day basis, this means:

Soft Skills

  • Good technical communication skills.

  • Ability to work with moderate supervision (not constant).

  • Good judgment to ask for help and to propose simple improvements.

Technical Skills:
Solid experience developing applications with Ruby on Rails.

  • Experience with ActiveRecord and migrations.

  • Good command of Git.

  • Use of SQL, preferably PostgreSQL.

  • Experience with automated testing (RSpec or Minitest).

  • Experience managing background jobs (e.g., Sidekiq, ActiveJob).

  • Experience with REST and consuming APIs.

  • Basic knowledge of containers (Docker) or willingness to learn.

  • Experience optimizing SQL queries and data modeling in relational databases.

  • Ability to integrate third-party services via webhooks and RESTful APIs.

  • Experience applying object-oriented software design patterns and clean code principles in the service layer.

  • Conversational level of English.

Our Value Proposition

We believe that if you are an experienced professional, you will know exactly what you are looking for professionally. That is why our offer will be clear from the start:

  • Salary: We will be 100% transparent about the salary range because we want your experience to be compensated fairly, taking into account salaries in Bilbao.

  • Work Model: Hybrid and flexible. There will be days when you need to come into the office, yes, but you will be able to work from home for half of the month.

  • Real Well-being

    • Health Insurance (Alan): Funded by the company, with reimbursement for physio, dental, psychology, nutrition, and optometry services.

    • Flexible Compensation (Factorial Benefits): So you can save on meals, transport, or childcare.

    • If you get sick: We cover 100% of your salary for the first 3 days.

  • Disconnection: Your birthday is a day off. Plus, you get 23 vacation days.

  • VISA: We will sponsor your VISA and that of your partner/family if you are not a European resident.

    • Don't live in Europe? No problem—if we think you are a good fit, we will find a way to work together.

  • Galatea Tortilla: On the days we go to the office, we go out for a tortilla together on Thursdays.

  • Multiculturalism: The team is made up of people with diverse backgrounds, expertise, and nationalities.

  • Off Site & activities: There are times during the year when we do other types of activities outside the office.

Hiring process

We genuinely like to get to know you, which is why our process is designed to be personal and transparent. All interviews are conducted via video call, though we will be happy to invite you to our offices if you prefer to meet us in person:

  1. Profile Review: We analyze your background and initial fit.

  2. Initial Connection (HR): A first chat to learn about your journey, understand what you are looking for personally and professionally, and ensure you connect with the values of the people who make up our company.

  3. Technical and Cultural Match: The backend engineering team steps in. We want to get to know you better, talk about the projects you have built (have your GitHub ready!), and assess both the technical and personal fit.

  4. Conversation with Our CEO: A final chat to dive deeper into the company vision and answer any remaining questions you may have.

  5. Offer and Onboarding: We present our proposal and, if everything aligns, we welcome you to the team!
