About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong Ruby on Rails experience to help scale and evolve our product. You’ll own features end-to-end, from backend architecture to polished front-end delivery, ideally bringing TypeScript experience to help bridge the gap between layers.
What You’ll Do
• Design, build, and maintain robust Rails applications that power critical product features.
• Collaborate with product managers and designers to translate customer needs into thoughtful solutions.
• Contribute to front-end development (TypeScript/React) when needed to ensure seamless user experiences.
• Write reliable, well-tested code that emphasizes maintainability and long-term quality.
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders about progress, trade-offs, and challenges.
• Lead by example, setting a high bar for engineering practices and quality standards.
What We’re Looking For
• 5+ years of professional experience, with deep knowledge of Ruby on Rails.
• Solid understanding of databases, background jobs, and API design.
• Exposure to or interest in TypeScript/React—comfortable contributing to both backend and front-end when necessary.
• Product-oriented: you care about customer outcomes as much as code correctness.
• Strong communicator who thrives in cross-functional collaboration.
• Committed to building high-quality, reliable, and maintainable software.
