Senior Developer

Role Description

At ZayZoon, we've built a financial empowerment platform that puts real money in the hands of employees who need it - and the software you write here is what makes that possible. Every feature shipped, every performance fix, and every clean integration is a direct part of how we deliver on that promise to people who are counting on us.

As a Senior Developer, you'll own your features end-to-end - from back-end architecture through front-end delivery, testing, and demo - and you'll bring both the speed to experiment and the craft to make those experiments production-ready when they matter. If you care as much about understanding root cause as you do about shipping the fix, this is the role for you.

Your impact:

• Design, build, and maintain core web and mobile application features from back end to front end, owning delivery at every step of the way.
• Dig into complex engineering problems - scale, concurrency, background processing, data ingestion - and back your solutions with data, not just instinct.
• Integrate and maintain third-party tools and services, keeping our platform connected, reliable, and running smoothly.
• Collaborate across Product, Customer Care, and Finance to scope new features, resolve production issues, and ensure what ships actually works in real life.
• Strengthen the development pod through pull request reviews, pairing on complex stories, knowledge sharing, and mentorship that raises the whole team's game.
• Use AI to streamline processes, reduce friction, and give time back for the work that matters.
• Contribute to a secure, well-structured SDLC - writing code that's not just functional but maintainable, tested, and built to last.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on Ruby on Rails experience with production applications.
• Solid front-end fundamentals, comfortable with core JavaScript, and experience in React or React Native.
• Strong SQL and data analysis skills.
• Deep engineering fundamentals including SOLID principles, domain-driven design, and a solid testing practice.
• A full-stack mentality, owning features all the way through.
• Experience with scale and concurrency challenges.
• Agile fluency including sprint planning, story grooming, and stand-ups.
• The ability to shift gears between building fast and building clean.
• Comfort with standard development tooling such as Git, GitHub, and Jira.

Benefits

• Permanently Remote: Work from anywhere, fully remote, forever.
• Flexible Time Off: Maximum of 6 weeks vacation with a “You-do-You” time off program.
• Instant Benefits: Access to medical, vision, and dental benefits from day one.
• Inclusive parental leave top-up, earned wage access, and a supportive culture for lifelong learners.
