👋 Howdy!




 Stuart here, founder and current head of engineering at Rivo.




 Interested in helping build and scale a rapidly growing Saas Company while sticking to Rails best practices?




 If so - awesome! Keep reading. If not - no worries, perhaps we'll cross paths in the future.


 


What is Rivo?

 We're a powerful marketing platform that allows stores to connect with their customers through loyalty, review and omni-channel marketing campaigns. We've got over 142,000 Shopify stores on our platform, profitably bootstrapped and growing fast...


 


About the job

 With the help of our small team, (and some awesome team members at thoughtbot and hashrocket) - we've built an amazing ecommerce marketing platform on Rails that has scaled wonderfully so far.




 To give a small indication, we process roughly 20-30M Sidekiq Jobs per day and are adding 8-10M db rows per day.




 We have an opinionated style of writing code, mainly keeping to best practices, the 80/20 principle, and keeping things uniform and simple as a means to scale.
