Role Overview

We are hiring a dedicated and detail-oriented Remote Ruby on Rails Web Developer to help us shape the future of scalable web platforms. This opportunity is tailored for someone who excels in distributed environments, embraces full autonomy, and has a deep interest in creating clean, maintainable, and effective software solutions. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with product and design teams, contribute actively to technical discussions, and support the continued evolution of robust backend infrastructure. Your day-to-day work will directly impact the reliability, user experience, and functionality of our core applications. We’re looking for developers who are thoughtful, solutions-driven, and committed to crafting backend systems that stand the test of time.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, improve, and maintain Ruby on Rails applications that serve diverse user bases
• Develop APIs, handle integrations, and manage data exchanges with third-party platforms
• Write secure, maintainable, and modular code adhering to best practices
• Conduct thorough testing and participate in peer reviews to uphold code quality
• Collaborate with UX and frontend developers to ensure product coherence across the stack
• Analyze bottlenecks and improve application performance through optimization strategies
• Manage technical documentation to support team transparency and knowledge sharing
• Take part in planning, sprint reviews, and technical retrospectives regularly

Work Environment

• 100% remote: collaborate with teammates from multiple countries and time zones
• Flexible work hours allow you to manage your schedule and productivity rhythm
• Culture focused on quality output, independent ownership, and continuous growth
• A highly responsive and asynchronous communication structure
• Open lines of communication with leadership empower you to influence product and engineering decisions

Tools & Technologies

• Ruby on Rails 6/7 with advanced usage of ActiveRecord and ActionCable
• PostgreSQL for data modeling and query handling
• Redis for temporary data storage and task queuing
• Sidekiq for processing background jobs asynchronously
• Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters to streamline deployments
• GitHub for version control with pull-request workflows
• GitHub Actions and CircleCI for CI/CD automation pipelines
• AWS or Google Cloud for scalable backend infrastructure
• Collaboration using Notion, Figma, and Slack for streamlined workflows

Required Qualifications

• At least 3 years of hands-on experience using Ruby on Rails in live production environments
• Deep familiarity with modular programming and reusable architectural strategies
• Practical experience building scalable web applications from the ground up
• Confident working with SQL databases and optimizing queries for performance
• Ability to work with minimal supervision while delivering high-quality results
• Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD) practices and frameworks like RSpec
• Comfortable navigating agile development processes in remote settings

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with frontend JavaScript frameworks such as React or Vue
• Experience setting up infrastructure or managing cloud-based environments
• Understanding of continuous integration workflows and DevOps practices
• Prior experience with content platforms, online marketplaces, or SaaS environments

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive annual salary of $122113 with consistent and timely payments
• Remote-first policy with support for coworking spaces if needed
• Freedom to influence core architecture and long-term technical direction
• Opportunities to participate in tech conferences, workshops, and certifications
• Wellness stipend and paid learning resources to support your growth

Impact You Will Make

By joining the team, you will directly influence the foundation and reliability of our products. Your backend logic will power real-time systems and handle user data across regions with efficiency and care. You’ll help introduce scalable practices, suggest new tools, and contribute to system evolution. The systems you maintain will help serve thousands of users and will become integral to how they interact with our services. You won’t just build systems—you’ll design meaningful solutions that stay stable under pressure.

Advancement and Learning

We believe in internal promotion and investing in our team’s success. This position can serve as a launchpad for leadership roles, such as Senior Developer, Engineering Team Lead, or Platform Architect. You’ll be encouraged to support emerging developers and guide collaborative learning, take ownership of technical initiatives, and help shape the technical roadmap. Learning is part of the culture—we support side projects, tech talks, and experimental initiatives that foster your creativity and growth.

Ideal Candidate Traits

You enjoy building polished backend systems that handle complex data transactions. You work best when trusted to solve problems independently, but thrive when contributing to team collaboration. You want clean code, thoughtful refactors, and reducing technical debt. You welcome feedback and view code reviews as a chance to learn and improve. You strike a balance between precision and pragmatism, always considering how your code impacts users and the business.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a corporate job with endless meetings and red tape. You’ll join a dynamic remote team that values autonomy, strong engineering practices, and building great products. You’ll have a clear roadmap and supportive teammates who trust each other to deliver. We prioritize transparency, iteration, and creating lasting things. From day one, your voice and expertise will matter.

Call to Action

Ready to work on impactful systems, sharpen your Ruby on Rails expertise, and thrive in a remote-first culture that values your time and talent? Apply now and become a part of a development team where your ideas shape the future and your contributions are never unnoticed.
