Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Murray is a senior software developer with 14 years of experience building and scaling APIs and web services, currently contributing at Shopify from Moorhead, Minnesota. He has led teams and directed API development at FBS, architecting high-throughput Rails APIs that handled tens of millions of requests per day and enabling mobile and third‑party integrations. Equally comfortable with hands‑on coding and people management, he emphasizes quality: peer review, CI/CD, and automated test coverage (97% on prior projects). His technical toolkit includes Ruby on Rails, Docker, AWS, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, and Sidekiq, with a track record of containerized deployments and legacy migrations to RESTful architectures. Joshua pairs a BS in Computer Science with a background in English and creative writing, which surfaces in clear documentation and process design. He’s notable for moving between deep technical delivery and leadership—coaching new managers while still shipping production code.
