Ruby on Rails Engineer with Shopify App ExperienceWe're looking for a Senior Engineer to join our fully remote and mission driven team.
Full-time • Remote
About the jobWith the help of our small team, (and some awesome team members at Thoughtbot), we've built an amazing platform on Rails that has scaled wonderfully so far.
To give a small indication, we process roughly 20-30M Sidekiq Jobs per day and are adding 10-15M db rows per day.
Your job is to help us scale as a
Full-Stack Rails Engineer. This is a remote, full-time role (40+ hours/week).
How Are We Different?We might lose you here :)
We believe in writing Rails in a particular style, sticking close to standardrb and general Rails best practices.
If a feature takes our competitors 8 weeks to build, we build a solid MVP in 8-10 days. We utilize the 80/20 principle to focus on what matters and just ship. Of course, we look at the usage metrics, then come back and complete the other 20% over time.
We rely on tools like Claude Code to remove countless hours of monotonous work and let us focus on shipping meaningful updates and features.
If this sounds like your style, we'd love to chat!
