Job Description


As a Ruby on Rails Developer, you'll work on a production Rails application that includes customer-facing features, internal systems, and external integrations. This is an end-to-end ownership role; you'll take features from design and implementation through testing, performance tuning, and production readiness.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain features in a modern Rails codebase
  • Own background and asynchronous workflows, including retries, idempotency, throughput, and observability
  • Model, query, and optimize data storage in PostgreSQL
  • Diagnose and resolve production issues in collaboration with product and support
  • Improve system reliability, performance, and operational safety
  • Contribute to long-term code health through refactoring, testing improvements, security practices, and thoughtful code review

Technical Stack:

  • Ruby and Rails 8.x
  • Redis-backed background job systems
  • Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus-style JavaScript, and modern asset tooling such as esbuild and Tailwind-style CSS
  • Observability tooling including APM, error tracking, logging, metrics, and rate limiting
  • Comprehensive automated testing across unit, integration, and system layers

Requirements

  • C1 English proficiency or equivalent
  • Senior-level, hands-on experience building and operating production Ruby on Rails applications
  • Strong background in background job systems and asynchronous processing, with real-world operational experience
  • Experience designing and querying relational data models in PostgreSQL, with attention to indexing and performance
  • Experience building external-facing APIs with authentication, authorization, and rate limiting
  • Strong testing discipline and experience diagnosing flaky or non-deterministic tests
  • A security-minded approach to application design and production operations

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working at high-growth startups
  • Experience building products using LLMs or LLM-based agents (LangChain experience is a plus)
  • Experience training AI models: building and cleaning datasets, setting up training pipelines, and evaluation benchmarks
  • Experience building code generation or code editing tools
  • A team-player mentality with a track record of influencing and improving development processes

Nice to Have: Email and Deliverability Domain

  • Experience with the Xero or QuickBooks APIs
  • General bookkeeping or accounting domain knowledge
  • Comfort using AI-assisted development tools responsibly, while maintaining strong engineering judgment, code quality, and test coverage

Benefits

  • Compensation: $5,000-$7,000 USD/month, based on experience
  • PTO: Unlimited
  • Holidays: U.S. or local holidays observed
  • Fully remote, contractor engagement
