• Backend Ruby Software Engineer

  • Jan 2022 - Feb 2023

  NewStore works with retail brands worldwide that want to accelerate their digital transformation. I work in a team focussed on creating and supporting Native Consumer Apps, which are served by a middleware written in ruby. Using test driven design I help to integrate our middleware codebase with new and existing API from external partners. In my role as backend developer, my main responsibilities include: - Maintaining and developing the middleware in plain ruby. - Updating The Consumer App API. Adding documentation accordingly. - Using a mixture of REST and GraphQL to implement integrations with third party API’s such as PSP’s (Braintree, Buckaroo, Klana), e-commerce platforms (SFCC, Magento2, Shopify, Scayle) - Write postman collections with tests to check responses from external API’s, use this to highlight when external API are not retuning expected JSON. - Investigate issues using a variety of debugging tools including (Charles Proxy), internal logs in GCP and our extensive test suite.
