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.

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
