About this role
## COME BUILD THE RAILS OF B2B COMMERCE IN HOSPITALITY (STARTING WITH HOTELS) ### What excites you - You’ve worked on early-stage teams (possibly as a founder) and enjoy wearing multiple hats. - You’ve seen products come to life from a spark of an idea—and you’re motivated by the process of building something from nothing. - You want to build software with real, tangible value for the people who need it—even if the solution is simple or “unsexy.” - You’re great at prioritization and time management, and you adapt quickly as new facts emerge and tradeoffs shift between customer and business needs. - You focus on quality over quantity, and you can distill complex systems into delightful, powerful applications. ### What excites us - 8+ years of hands-on experience as a senior contributor on teams that ship great products. - Backend specialization with deep expertise in server-side technologies (Ruby on Rails / Node.js / Postgres) and API design. - Strong object-oriented design and programming skills, including architecting solutions for complex, data-intensive systems. - Hands-on DevOps experience: infrastructure automation, cloud deployment (AWS, Docker, CI/CD pipelines). - Understanding of scalability, performance optimization, monitoring, and experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform). - Experience building software that enables money movement, including digitizing historically paper-based processes. - Experience with data modeling, database optimization, and maintaining data integrity in financial systems. - Experience building and maintaining search infrastructure (ideally Elasticsearch or similar). - You contribute back to the community via Open Source or other pro-bono efforts. ### Working at Folio - Folio is a Ruby on Rails app with TypeScript/Node.js automations and Elasticsearch, deployed to AWS. - Daily standup (except Friday); otherwise, meetings are kept to a minimum. - Remote-first company. Quarterly travel to work together in-person—staying with one of our hotel partners. - Day-to-day tools: Google Meet, GitHub, Linear, Notion, and Slack. ### What we value - **Craft**: pride in execution; steady, resilient pace. - **Optimism**: belief in yourself and each other. - **Ownership**: shared responsibility for what we build. - **Hospitality**: service-oriented culture reflected in how we work together.
