Who We Are

Debt Book is an industry-leading fintech software platform that revolutionizes the way local government, higher education, and healthcare finance teams work. Our powerful, cloud-based software helps these organizations manage all aspects of their debt, cash, leases, and subscriptions, streamline financial reporting, and share information simply with others. We are passionate about modernizing treasury management and simplifying accounting compliance in the public sector, allowing organizations to break through operational barriers to unlock strategic insights.

• Our application is a Majestic Monolith built with Ruby on Rails, React, and Postgre
  
  SQL. Our app is hosted in AWS, and we use Git Lab for our CI/CD pipelines and deployments. We use feature flags to allow us to continually integrate our code.
• Our front‑end is built with React, Type Script, and MUI React. We have an in‑house library of accessible components that is documented in Story Book. Most of the components are built out and being used in new development, and we are in the process of implementing them throughout existing parts of the application.
• Our back‑end is a Ruby on Rails JSON API that communicates with a React SPA (single page application).
• All of our engineers work on the front‑end, back‑end and database. We have some engineers who are more experienced in one, but we can all do some work in any part of the stack.
• We have a small dedicated infrastructure team, but our teams deploy and monitor their own code.
• Engineers collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and industry specialists to understand problems and design solutions. Engineers write and manage breaking down work into tickets and owning the tickets.

• Participate in all stages of the SDLC: solution shaping, system design, ticket writing/breakdown, write full‑stack code, review code, perform deployments, participate in monitoring, and gather data for reporting.
• Own the quality of your work. Write tests and work with your team to ensure everything works before merging and releasing.
• Work cross‑functionally on your team to ensure work is scoped to deliver quickly and deliver the right functionality.
• Work collaboratively with other cross‑functional product‑focused teams.

• 4+ years of related professional experience
• Experience with Ruby or React
• Some familiarity with front‑end and back‑end web development
• Ability to communicate complicated technical concepts well with teammates in all functions, including non‑technical roles
