## About the Role

The Software Engineer at iCapital Network will work end-to-end on new features, enhancements, and defect resolution on one or more of iCapital's software platforms.

You will be working with Ruby on Rails for back end and React for front end.

At iCapital, we value expertise in other programming languages and business areas.

- Building out prototypes and POCs
- Active participation in daily stand up meetings
- Active participation in Peer Code Reviews as part of our standard SDLC and Change Management Process

## Qualifications

- Degree in Software Engineering
- 6+ years of Full Stack, web-based application development
- 6+ years of development experience with React and Ruby on Rails. Python/Elixir would be a good substitute if less expertise on Ruby
- 6+ years of HTML / CSS development
- Demonstrated understanding of relational database concepts and modeling practices
- Passion for actively learning new technologies
- Ability to work independently or as part of a group effort, as required
- Solid problem solving abilities
- Excellent communication skills
- Collaborative approach to software development
- Fluency in English and Portuguese required — written and verbal

We believe the best ideas and innovation happen when we are together. Employees in this role will work in the office four days, with the flexibility to work remotely one day (Friday).
