Senior Ruby on Rails Developer
Company Description
Chexology is reinventing how items are exchanged between people. We started with an app called CoatChex, as seen on Shark Tank, to get rid of long lines and “he said, she said” claim processes. Now, our mission is to eliminate all paper claim tickets.
Come join us and our clients, like the Museum of Modern Art, Live Nation, and Nike, to expand and bring trust to services like coat check, bag check, valet and rentals.
