Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to help us build reliable, scalable products and apply AI/LLM technologies where they create real value.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can own complex features end to end, make strong technical decisions, and work across backend architecture, production systems, testing, and AI-assisted product development.

You should be excited about AI, but pragmatic enough to know when a simple, deterministic solution is better than an LLM call.

What you’ll be working on:

Owning features from technical design to production
Building and maintaining Ruby on Rails systems used at scale
Designing AI/LLM-assisted features and workflows where they improve product quality or user experience
Working with LLM APIs, prompts, retrieval/context strategies, and AI-assisted development tools
Making trade-offs around performance, reliability, cost, latency, security, and maintainability
Writing and maintaining automated tests, including unit, integration, and E2E tests
Debugging production issues and improving system reliability

What we’re looking for:

To succeed in this role, you’ll have:

Strong professional experience with Ruby on Rails, ideally at senior level
Experience building and running production systems used by real customers
Strong backend skills, including databases, API design, performance, background jobs, and security;
Ability to break down ambiguous problems and propose practical technical solutions
Hands-on interest or experience with AI/LLM technologies,
Good judgment about when to use AI and when simpler engineering approaches are better
Strong testing habits and care for long-term code quality
A responsible, curious, flexible mindset: willing to debug, deploy, investigate, learn, and own outcomes

Nice to have:

Experience with React
CI/CD, background jobs, or AWS experience
Experience building AI-powered product features in production
Familiarity with embeddings, vector search, RAG, evals, or LLM observability
Experience with text-processing, localization, translation, or multilingual products
