Company Name : tastytrade
Role:
Software Engineer II (Ruby) Location:
Hybrid - Chicago, IL (3 days/week in office)
We're building a dedicated team focused on improving operational efficiency and quality of life for our internal teams—people who are often overlooked in product‑driven organizations. Your work will directly impact critical teams like Trade Desk, Account Opening, Fraud Prevention, and Banking Operations by building custom tools for our proprietary systems and integrating smart third‑party solutions where appropriate.
You’ll be part of a small, focused squad working alongside our core brokerage engineering team with a clear mission: reduce friction, improve workflows, and make employees’ lives easier.
The work spans interesting technical challenges—from custom development to systems integration to data work—and there’s a direct connection between what you build and both employee satisfaction and customer experience. We recognize that internal efficiency drives business results, and we’re investing accordingly.
What You’ll Do:
Build and maintain Ruby APIs, services, and systems that reliably and efficiently handle order routing and ledger flows
Implement technology improvements to enhance security, reliability, and performance
Provide guidance and leadership to more junior members of the team when questions arise about language or implementation specifics, as well as contributing in a meaningful way to our peer review process
Translate requirements and technical direction into production‑quality code with lightweight guidance from a senior engineer or team leadership
Work independently on smaller scope tasks and work under the guidance of a senior engineer to contribute to larger projects
Write comprehensive tests for your code
Perform light infrastructure work to support application development work where applicable
Continue your growth by learning new systems and working toward ownership of tastytrade’s systems
Who You Are:
You must be able to learn quickly in areas where you don’t have deep expertise.
Have deep expertise in at least one language or framework, dealing with it in a production context.
We expect a Software Engineer to have dabbled in languages, frameworks, or technologies beyond their expertise.
Demonstrable professional experience working as a software engineer on a team.
