About The Position

The Sr. Software Engineer on our Ruby on Rails and Hanami services is the engine room of our engineering org. You will lead projects from planning through execution, write the code on the hardest pieces, and raise the bar for the engineers around you. You'll also be a force multiplier for AI-assisted development on your team, modeling how to use Claude, Copilot, and agentic workflows to ship faster without compromising quality.

Requirements

• 5+ years building production software, with strong depth in Ruby on Rails.
• Demonstrated ability to make sound architectural decisions in a Rails or Hanami codebase and explain tradeoffs clearly in writing.
• Strong technical depth in backend systems, API design, or distributed services built in Ruby.
• Mentorship experience and a track record of helping teammates grow.
• Fluent, deliberate use of AI tooling across the full engineering lifecycle (design, code, test, debug, review, docs).

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Hanami, Sidekiq, RSpec at scale, and Kafka-backed event pipelines.
• Experience leading projects in marketplace, ticketing, e-commerce, or two-sided platform environments.
• Comfort with Datadog, Grafana, Kibana, Airbrake, Sentry, OpsGenie, or comparable production tooling.

Responsibilities

• Lead delivery of more in-depth initiatives from planning through launch in partnership with product and technical leadership, where you own the technical execution.
• Take on the hard parts. When a Rails or Hanami service needs a rewrite or a hard migration, you're the one writing it.
• Shape architecture. Participate actively in design discussions on our Rails and Hanami services, write design docs, and weigh tradeoffs out loud so the team can learn from your reasoning.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers. Pair, code-review thoughtfully, and help teammates level up their skills, including their AI tooling fluency.
• Drive process improvements. Spot recurring pain in the team's workflow and propose changes, not just complaints.
• Push the AI-native bar. Build internal tooling, prompt patterns, and agentic workflows that make the whole team faster, not just yourself.
• Be a reliable code reviewer on PRs across the team, including outside your immediate project area.
• Operate cleanly on-call. Know your services in production; lead incident response when needed and write the postmortem.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical coverage
• 100% employer-paid dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid parental leave
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Employee wellness and professional development opportunities
