Rails Developer

Qurate is a small but rapidly growing startup based in Fukuoka, Japan (a little more about Fukuoka later).

We are building a platform to enable brands and agencies to manage multi-platform publishing, content curation, cross-channel analytics and content discovery. It's more complex and interesting than it might sound, trust us!

We are looking for a full-time backend developer to join our development team based in Fukuoka, Japan.

Your role:
We are looking for a extra backend engineer. Our stack is based on Ruby, Rails, Postgres & VueJS, but we are constantly re-evaluating as we build and scale.

You will be part of the team building the Qurate Content Hub. This will involve working with the designers and product lead to understand, scope and plan features. You will work with the CTO to architect the feature as part of our larger platform. While developing the feature you will actively work with other developers and the rest of the company to iterate based on feedback and discussions.

About you:
- Strong experience of building web applications. Our stack is currently Rails & VueJS. Tell us where you fit in.
- Good spoken and written English. Our team is multi-national, but English is the common language of our development team.
- Excited to learn and adapt to new technologies, along with sharing your learnings with the team.
- You care more about being effective over being right.

About us:
- We are a small team primarily based in Fukuoka, Japan (more about that later). While we would love for you to drop everything and join us in Fukuoka, we understand that might not be immediately possible, so talk to us about your situation.
- Our team is multi-national, multi-lingual and very talented.
- Since we are a small team, you have the opportunity to help us shape the product and our platform. This is a great time to join us!
- We are funded by some great investors and have some amazing customers working with us, don't worry about us disappearing next week.

The offer:
- money
- paid vacation
- language lessons if you wish
- assistance with relocation

A little about Fukuoka:
We might not be as big or flashy as Tokyo, but Fukuoka is the place to be! Consistently ranked among the most liveable cities in the world, we are surrounded by beautiful sea and beaches, have incredible food, fantastic nightlife and a great startup scene.
