Job Description

We are looking for a Ruby on Rails Developer to design, build, and maintain backend APIs for an existing or new backend service, working with a strong focus on API design patterns, performance, scalability, and security. You will write clean, well-tested Rails code against PostgreSQL databases, participate in code reviews and technical discussions, and collaborate with stakeholders to define and fulfill API requirements. The role is remote with a required 4-hour overlap with MDT for LatAm candidates.

What You Will Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain APIs using Ruby on Rails.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand API requirements and specifications.
• Ensure API performance, scalability, and security.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize API performance.

Must Haves:

• 3+ years of experience working with Ruby on Rails.
• Strong command of API design patterns and best practices in Rails.
• Solid understanding of protocols and JSON data structures.
• Experience with relational databases, e.g. PostgreSQL.
• Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows.
• Ability to work independently and communicate effectively in a remote setup.
• In terms of working hours: The role will mostly follow the LATAM time zone, with a required 4-hour overlap with Colorado (MDT). For Ukraine-based candidates, a minimum of 2-hour overlap with MDT is required — though the more overlap, the better. Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice To Haves:

• Experience with background job processing, e.g. Sidekiq.
• Familiarity with API documentation tools, e.g. Swagger/OpenAPI.
• Exposure to Docker or other container technologies.
• Experience working with distributed teams.

Perks and Benefits:

• Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget.
• Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews.
• Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm.
• Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands.
• Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized.
• Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location.
