About the Role

We’re looking for a Ruby on Rails Developer to join our growing team.

  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following best practices.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and implement long-term solutions.
  • Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and architecture discussions.


Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience with Ruby on Rails.
  • Deep expertise in PostgreSQL — including performance tuning and advanced SQL queries.
  • Experience managing or working closely with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
  • Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, background jobs, and caching strategies.
  • Proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and testing frameworks (RSpec, Minitest, etc.).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a remote environment.
  • Must be available to work during US Eastern Standard Time (EST) hours.


Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform.
  • Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Vue.js, or similar).
  • Background in SaaS or high-scale web applications.
  • Enthusiasm for continuous learning and improving infrastructure skills.


Why Join Us

  • 100% remote role with flexible, collaborative work culture.
  • Opportunity to work on impactful projects with a modern tech stack.
  • Competitive compensation and growth opportunities.
