About the Role
 

We’re looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to join a distributed product team building scalable, real-world applications used by thousands of users.

This is a backend-heavy Rails role with ownership, impact, and space to make technical decisions. You’ll work closely with product, design, and other engineers in an async-friendly, respectful environment.

If you enjoy clean Ruby, strong data models, background processing, and real production challenges, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain Ruby on Rails applications in production
• Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas, queries, and indexes
• Develop reliable background jobs using Sidekiq & Redis
• Work with AWS S3 (ActiveStorage, direct uploads, streaming, multipart uploads)
• Design and test REST APIs (RSpec, request specs)
• Integrate with Stripe (payments, webhooks) and Twilio (messaging)
• Collaborate in code reviews and contribute to architectural decisions
• Take ownership of features from design to production

• Strong Ruby fundamentals
• Deep experience with ActiveRecord & PostgreSQL
• Experience with Sidekiq / Redis and resilient job design

• API design & testing experience (RSpec)
• Clear communicator with a strong ownership mindset

Nice-to-have

• ActiveAdmin or similar admin frameworks
• Video/media processing (FFmpeg)
• ActionCable / WebSockets
• CDN & caching strategies
• Experience in healthcare, HIPAA, PII/PHI handling
• Experience with Heygen or similar media APIs

Why Join Us

• Fully remote — work from anywhere in the EU;
• Long-term product work (not short-term gigs);
• Strong engineering culture: clean code, ownership, trust;
• International team with experience working with Ukrainian engineers;
• Flexible contract or employment model;
