Description:

Full-Stack Rails Engineer (Remote, Full-Time)

Our client is a growing SaaS platform built with Ruby on Rails and scaling fast. Their team is small but mighty, leveraging best practices to ship code efficiently and iterate based on real user feedback. They process millions of Sidekiq jobs and add millions of database rows every day, so scaling effectively is a key part of this role.

This is a remote, full-time opportunity (40+ hours per week) where you’ll help scale and improve the platform.

What Makes This Role Unique?

Our client takes a pragmatic approach to software development:
- They build solid MVPs quickly, shipping meaningful updates fast and refining them over time using the 80/20 principle.

- Tools like Cursor and Sonnet AI help automate repetitive work, so the focus stays on delivering high-impact features.

- Micromanagement and long release cycles are avoided – you’ll have the freedom to work autonomously and contribute directly to the product’s success.

What They're Looking For

• Self-driven: You thrive with minimal guidance and enjoy working independently.
  
• AI-Friendly: You integrate AI tools into your development workflow to boost productivity.
  
• High-Octane Workstyle: You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
  
• Rails Expert: You adhere to best practices and have a passion for clean, maintainable code.
  
• Async First: You prefer asynchronous communication and efficient collaboration.
  

What You’ll Do

• Write production-quality code following Rails best practices.
  
• Help scale our client’s SaaS platform as they grow.
  
• Build features quickly, iterate based on metrics, and continuously optimize.
  

What They Expect

• 8+ years of professional experience with Ruby on Rails.
  
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq).
  
• Familiarity with the Shopify ecosystem is a plus (e.g., shopify_app, shopify_api gems), but not required.
  
• Ability to overlap with EST or PDT time zones by at least 5 hours.
  
• Comfortable following design patterns and optimizing code for performance.
  

The Client's Culture

• They live by the SPEED values: Speed, Pareto Principle, Evidence-Based, End Results, and Disrupt.
  
• They avoid micromanagement, drama, and unnecessary meetings.
  
• They are a 100% remote and global team focused on results, not bureaucracy.
