Senior Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails)

We believe the future of software development is AI-native — where engineers operate at a higher level of abstraction and quality remains non-negotiable. 

Incubyte is a software craft consultancy where the “how” of building software matters as much as the “what”.  

We partner with companies of all sizes, from helping enterprises build, scale, and modernize to early-stage founders bring their ideas to life. 

Our engineers operate in an AI-native development model, using AI as a collaborator across the SDLC to accelerate development while upholding the discipline of software craftsmanship. Guided by Software Craftsmanship and Extreme Programming practices, we build reliable, maintainable, and scalable systems with speed, without compromising quality. If this way of building software resonates with you, we’d like to talk. 

Our Guiding Principles 

These principles define how we work at Incubyte. They are non-negotiable. 

Relentless Pursuit of Quality with Pragmatism 

  We build high-quality systems without losing sight of delivery. 

Extreme Ownership 

  We take responsibility end-to-end for decisions, execution, and outcomes. 

Proactive Collaboration 

  We collaborate closely, challenge each other, and solve problems together. 

Active Pursuit of Mastery 

  We continuously improve our craft and raise our bar. 

Invite, Give, and Act on Feedback 

We seek, give, and act on feedback to get better every day. 

Ensuring Client Success 

We act as trusted partners and focus on real outcomes, not just output. 

This is a remote position.

Experience Level 

This is an SDE – 3 level role ideal for engineers with 4+ years of hands-on software development experience, with strong proficiency in Ruby on Rails (RoR) and working knowledge of modern front-end frameworks such as React or Angular.
