Product Developer Ruby on Rails (Leipzig, Germany)

What is it like at Mynewsdesk?

We offer a workplace where you will be working in a small team, usually around five people, including developers, a designer and a product owner. All teams have their own areas of responsibility but are working together towards a common goal and an overall vision for the whole product team.

The teams use Scrum methodology, aiming to do pair or mob program every day. Even though we have separate teams we share our knowledge and interests between each other via cross-team meetings related to specific issues, such as frontend development.

We believe you have to be inspired to build the best product possible. That’s why we have regular lab days, encourage remote work, host internal developer conferences and maker parties, and whatever else rocks your boat. It’s all up to you!

In our day-to-day, we work closely with team designers, product owners, and product marketers, as well as other people that help us deliver the best possible products. We mainly craft applications based on Rails, React and Sass, but will always choose the right tool for the job.
