  • On-Call Support: Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure uptime and operational excellence for critical systems.


  • Key Qualifications:
  • Over 7 years of relevant experience as a software engineer building complex applications, ideally in a startup environment.
  • Proficiency in Ruby on Rails and strong DevOps skills, with expertise in AWS Infrastructure (ECS, EC2, S3, Kinesis, Route 53, CloudWatch, etc.).
  • Expertise writing and managing infrastructure using Terraform, including resource provisioning, cost and performance optimization.
  • Experience working with and designing APIs (REST, GraphQL) for both internal and external use.
  • Familiarity with data pipelining technologies (AWS SQS, Kinesis) and message queues (Redis, AWS SQS, Sidekiq, Shoryuken).
  • Security knowledge, including SOC2, GDPR, OWASP Top 10, and PII best practices.
  • Build pipeline management for CI/CD using Semaphore or similar technology.
  • Version control collaboration using GitHub.
  • Experience with infrastructure monitoring tools like Datadog and OpsGenie.


  • Technologies We Use:
  • Back-end: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, Shoryuken, Protobuf
  • Front-end: React, Tailwind CSS
  • Data Pipelines & Messaging: AWS SQS, AWS Kinesis
  • Infrastructure: AWS ECS, EC2, S3, CloudWatch, Route 53, Elasticsearch
  • Tools: GraphQL (Apollo), Slack, Datadog, Github, OpsGenie


  • What You’ll Do:
  • Collaborate with the team to design new product interfaces and improve existing ones with a focus on usability and performance.
  • Set and champion front-end and back-end architecture standards.
  • Manage build pipelines and integrations, ensuring seamless deployment.
  • Lead discussions on platform architecture, design, and scaling.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, including on-call support when necessary.
