Senior Software Engineer

Redbubble is an online community and retailer dedicated to all things creative! We are looking for passionate developers to join our growing Engineering team so that we can keep delivering great features for our artists.

Our goal is to empower creativity in many online forms and so our challenges are both big and small. Right now, we are one of the largest Rails sites in the world, and our stack processes over 20M requests per day - and growing. We utilize many technologies to make this a smooth ride: Unicorn, Amazon Web Services, Solr, RabbitMQ and Gentoo Linux. In addition to the Rails stack, we make heavy use of AJAX, PJAX, SASS and jQuery. An intuitive and beautiful interface are part of every feature we release. We're constantly looking at trends in web design and looking to apply them.

Culture

One of the benefits of being a young company is that we have a fresh culture. That means everyone contributes to business direction and has the opportunity to see their ideas come to fruition; whether you're someone who likes to optimise or a creator with new ideas, everyone gets airtime. As an Engineer, you will be involved at every step in the process from inception to launch. We believe that the best software is designed, written, tested and deployed by a small, nimble team of people. This liberates us to deliver faster than most of us have worked before and with higher quality.

You Want

• The opportunity to work on a site that makes a difference to people's lives
• An environment where open, honest feedback is the norm and you will find yourself encouraged to go beyond your limits

Product Designer

We’re looking for a Product Designer to expand our team, allowing us to make Redbubble better for our artists every day (twice a day if required). Product Designers are looked to for visual design and interaction experience from inception to production at RB. We’re not looking for closed door designers here, we’re after generalists who are not just world-class designers, but are eager to get deeply involved in more than just pixels.

You live and breathe online. You check Twitter before you’ve left your bed and have already seen today’s shots on Dribbble. You'd think nothing of politely contacting other sites about their “failure to support Retina displays” during breakfast. You think most of the internet is weak and wonder how people get it wrong so often - without being completely dogmatic yourself.

What will you be working on? Well that’s up to you. Wherever you see your talents being most useful, that’s where you will be. See someone working on something that needs your brain? Go do that. See something we’re missing that you feel is important, let’s roll. That being said, we’re keen on testing things here at RB, so wherever possible we expect you would be intent on confirming these hunches one way or another before proceeding headlong into something. And before you ask, no, we’re not going to go off the rails testing 41 different shades of blue – At our core, we’re still a company that understands and respects design in a way that has treated us and our artists well so far.

A List of things You Probably Want

• Experience in a related role
• Ability to think at a high level - not just 'how it should look' but ‘why we should build it'.
• Absolutely fantastic design skills
• Ability to communicate effectively - especially around design concepts
• Happy to code & happy to learn - You should know or learn about HTML, CSS, SASS, JS, jQuery & Github
• Open to testing & analysis with a thick skin
• Embrace responsive design like it was the Voltron toy you always wanted for Christmas
• Not shy to write copy

Equipment is no problem, we’ll sort you out with whatever you might need to be fantastic at your job. We have flexible working options, a turntable waiting for your vinyl and our fridge is stocked with drinks and lunchables.

This is a full-time position based in Melbourne, Australia.
