We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong Ruby expertise to join our Bobby Tables team and help scale our Reporting product. You’ll design and build high-impact data aggregation and reporting systems used by 90% of our customers.

About the Team...

Bobby Tables is dedicated to building a reliable reporting ecosystem. Our data service, a core part of the Smartly AI-powered advertising platform, integrates diverse data sources so clients can analyze campaign performance through our intuitive report builder and visualizer.

The customer-facing interface to our online analytical processing (OLAP) system is accessed by most of our customers and powers campaign management and optimization features. On the backend, we tackle large-scale databases (several terabytes), complex queries via a REST API, and collaboration with multiple stakeholders. Our data structures have grown from single-channel to cross-channel. With a 99.95% uptime SLO, we use best practices in change management to remain a stable data source for internal and external customers.

Technologies we work with...

• Backend: Ruby, PostgreSQL, Redis

• Complementary tools: TypeScript (Node.js), React - you’ll collaborate with these, no need to be an expert

• Infra: AWS, Kubernetes (where relevant)
