We are seeking a Backend Engineer with strong Ruby on Rails experience to join our engineering team. This role will focus on building and maintaining our backend infrastructure while supporting our mobile development (React Native) initiatives through robust CI/CD practices.

Intro

Mo helps government leaders achieve their mission by designing intuitive and sustainable customer experiences that build trust and improve satisfaction. We use human-centered design to modernize and transform customer and employee experiences.

Our custom solutions range in size from completely revamping an entire application to refreshing small pieces of a larger product. Everyone at MO directly impacts the direction and success of the company, and we own our roles. We value integrity, curiosity, and courage, and we operate collaboratively and with accountability while consistently challenging each other in the pursuit of excellence.
