What we want from you
You will be responsible for the development and operation of the web services and smartphone apps that HeartRails is working on, whether other companies' projects or our own.
The job of an engineer is to cooperate with business owners, other engineers, and designers, and use the power of technology to provide users with better experiences and better value.
Engineers’ work can be divided into the categories of server side, front end, apps, data science, infrastructure, and so on. At HeartRails, however, we do not use these as job categories, and consider people uniformly as engineers.
It is not necessary for each engineer to be accomplished in every job — rather, each of them contributes their own skills and experience to accomplish one larger task.
We deal with a wide range of work in server side, apps, and data science, and sometime also focus on the front end.
HeartRails's development style is for everyone to challenge themselves to contribute what they can as an engineer, depending on the needs of the project.
