We empower companies to hire from anywhere and enable individuals to choose where they live and work.
Global working is in our DNA. Our vibrant team, comprised of almost 80 Localitos from 15+ nationalities across 3 continents, fuels our creativity and innovation. With our recent $35m Series B fundraise, we're expanding both our product and our reach!
If you're passionate about redefining global mobility, pushing boundaries, and making a real impact, Localyze is the place for you. Join our community, shape the future, and rewrite the rules of the global workforce.
Are you an Engineer with a passion for building user-friendly web applications? Join our dynamic team and contribute directly to the development of our SaaS B2B product. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing scalable, reusable frontend components while collaborating closely with developers, product managers, and designers. You'll have the autonomy to enhance the maintainability and security of our application, ensuring it remains cutting-edge.
We serve our customers through a web app built with React, TypeScript, Webpack, NextJS, and other technologies, which communicates with a REST API built with Ruby on Rails, Postgres, and Redis. We are currently evaluating building parts of our applications using the latest Ruby on Rails frontend technologies such as Hotwire, Turbo and Stimulus. We use GitHub for version control and code reviews, Semaphore and Github Actions for CI/CD, Rollbar for production error tracking, and rely on Heroku for infrastructure management. If you're ready to take on new challenges and make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you!

- Foster Cross-Functional Collaboration: Engage with other departments, such as marketing, sales, and customer success, to understand their needs and incorporate their feedback into the product development process.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:
- 4+ years of coding experience, with at least 3 years of Ruby on Rails experience
- Knowledge of TypeScript, and modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and React Query

- Experience in designing, developing, and documenting REST APIs and automated Testing, especially unit tests.
