About addy
Finally, a chance for everyone to get into real estate. That’s ownership without the life-altering sacrifices of ownership.
Quality real estate deals are usually out of reach for everyday people. We’re changing the game so that literally everyone has a chance to get into the market by investing with addy. Our mission is to enable every human to own property. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to own property through access to real estate investing at any amount, regardless of income, age, gender or background. 😊
About the team
We’re a passionate and fun group of people who are moving quickly ⚡️, which is why we’re looking for the brightest minds to join us on this incredible journey 🤘Our mission is our destination and we live in our core values – Curiosity, Win-Win or No Deal, and Empathy– to get there.
We care about achieving a triple bottom line of societal, environmental and economic return.
As a member of the addy dev scrum team, you will be working with other professional developers who care about the codebase, its quality, and its value to our members. We have a monolithic Rails application, which we are actively breaking down into a set of services using APIs. In addition, we explore new ways to break down the code and host it on new infrastructures such as AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, etc. Finally, the nature of our platform is such that we have spikes of usage whenever we release a new property, so while we don’t necessarily see a constant high volume of users, we need to optimize our platform to handle a high volume of transactions over a short period of time.
addy is a financial system in the real estate market. These two industries have lots of paperwork and processes relating to banking, real-estate, auditing and compliance that need to be automated and streamlined, which provides many opportunities to interesting problems that need to be solved.
We are looking for a Senior Software Developer in Test who will play a key role in/building the Quality Engineering team by helping ensure the stability and success of the product releases as well as provide guidance for intermediate and junior team members.
You must be able to work closely with your team to complete sprints and maintain a velocity most competent people think not possible.
