🏢 About the Project

Our client is a US-based EdTech platform with over 15 years in the market and thousands of active users.

You will join a small, high-performance team (3 people) working on a mature product with ongoing feature development and infrastructure improvements.

The team operates in a fast-paced, async environment (Linear), with strong expectations around ownership, code quality, and communication.

This is a full ownership role — you will take tasks from ticket reading to production deployment.

✅ Technical Stack & Experience

• Backend: Ruby on Rails (mandatory)
• Frontend: React, Next.js
• Infrastructure / Hosting: Render (migration in progress), Vercel / Railway
• Web server: Nginx
• CI/CD: GitHub (PR-based workflow)
• AI tools: Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot (or similar)
• Experience: 2–5 years in Full-Stack development (Rails + React/Next.js)

🎯 Ideal Candidate

• Full-stack developer with strong Ruby on Rails + Next.js experience
• Experienced deploying to modern PaaS platforms (Render, Vercel, Railway, etc.)
• Comfortable working across the entire stack (backend, frontend, infrastructure)
• Uses AI tools as a core part of daily development workflow
• Strong ownership mindset — delivers tasks end-to-end without supervision
• Reads tickets fully, asks clarifying questions before starting, not after shipping
• Skilled in async communication and writing clear PRs

Important:
We are only considering candidates with production Ruby on Rails experience. Node.js-only backend experience is not a fit.

Not a fit if you:

• Are frontend-only or backend-only
• Require constant supervision or daily standups
• Do not actively use AI tools in your workflow

🛠 Responsibilities

• Develop features across Rails API and Next.js frontend
• Implement end-to-end solutions (from ticket to deployment)
• Fix complex bugs affecting multiple layers (backend, frontend, infra)
• Participate in infrastructure migration to Render
• Improve security and CI/CD pipelines
• Write tests and proactively cover edge cases before QA
• Maintain clean and clear PRs

🎁 What We Offer

• 🏠 Remote / Full-time / Long-term collaboration
• ⏰ Flexible schedule (3–4 hours overlap with US EST)
• 🏖 21 vacation days + 10 sick days + national holidays
• 🗣 Individual English lessons
• 💊 Medical insurance (for Ukraine)
• 🎓 $300/year learning budget (courses, webinars, etc.)
• 📚 Safari Books / Learning Library subscription
• 🧠 Sessions with a psychologist
