    We have an awesome team. There's 20 of us, mainly in London with a few scattered remotely. We've been going nearly 5 years but still operate like a startup - always learning, experimenting and pushing each other on.

    Trail is a simple, smart checklist for service operations. It's designed to guide teams through their day with repeat processes and automated integrations, delivering actions from finance through to compliance. Helping every site hit the same high standard, and driving profitability with everyday efficiency.

    The team is made up of Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Product and Engineering, where you come in. You’ll have influence over the entire product, at a company you can help shape - we want people who can challenge the team and who we can all trust to make the right decisions.

    We

    Believe that hiring the best and providing a great developer experience allows us to deliver more value to our customers and reduce the time we spend maintaining and refactoring.

    Use modern tools like GitHub, CircleCI, AWS and Heroku because we want to focus on writing code and delivering features than maintaining infrastructure.

    Don't have dedicated QA, and instead choose to invest heavily in automated testing to help us move fast.

    Offer flexible hours and remote working.

    Provide the hardware and software you need to get your job done.

    Have a very talented team focused on building a great company and want you to be a part of it!

    Technologies

    Backend is mostly running on Rails with PostgreSQL (both SQL and JSON) as a data store and Redis and Sidekiq to manage background tasks.

    Our frontend is written in React + Redux with SASS for styling.

    Our third-party data integration and extraction is powered by open source ETL tools and AWS Lambda.

    We run end to end tests in Capybara and are invest heavily in automation and improving the way we deliver.

    These technologies have allowed us to grow our business quickly but we're all about the right tool for the job, so we're excited by the opportunities new technology can bring.
