Rails & Vue.js Developer

We're looking for a Ruby on Rails and Vue.js developer to work remotely as part of our remote team (part-time to full-time).

You’ll work on FeedBear, a new product helping startups and product builders. Our goal is to help companies truly listen to their customers and use feedback to build better products. Our application is up and running, two years in development, and is used by hundreds of users.

We’re planning to grow significantly and have an aggressive timeline and roadmap for new features and product improvements.

We're a fully distributed team of 15 working across different products. We’ve previously built and scaled MobiLoud, an app builder for content sites and MixBloom, a white label social media dashboard for agencies.

About the product

Most product managers and founders will make decisions by either guessing or using their gut. They can get lucky, or waste a lot of time and money building the wrong thing. Startups are also missing out on valuable ideas and insights from customers that could help them unlock new revenue and improve customer retention.

FeedBear creates a community for customers to contribute to and stay involved with product development. A company’s FeedBear project is a single place to collect all ideas and feedback from customers, users and team members. We give them tools to prioritize feedback and understand what customers really want, so they can build the right features, solving an actual problem. We help them keep customers updated on what’s happening to their product by sharing a public roadmap and changelog.
