The Impact You’ll Make
Our engineering velocity is compounding.
We need a senior engineer who can design and ship end‑to‑end product features across the stack— Ruby on Rails / NestJS on the backend and Next.js on the frontend—while mentoring teammates and upholding elite code quality
What you’ll do
- Design & build scalable web applications using Next.js (SSR/SSG, routing, performance), NestJS , and Ruby on Rails (conventional MVC, ActiveRecord, caching).
- Own features end‑to‑end : database schema, domain modelling (incl.
Sequent for CQRS/ES), API design with Grape and REST/GraphQL, UI/UX, CI/CD, and production rollout.
- Integrate with third‑party services (Stripe, Firebase, Razorpay, etc.) and internal micro‑services.
- Write clean, maintainable, well‑tested code in TypeScript and Ruby , leveraging unit, integration, and e2e tests.
- Profile & optimize performance across client and server, ensuring sub‑second page loads.
- Automate delivery via GitLab pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform / Pulumi).
- Mentor engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and architecture discussions.
- Collaborate remotely with Product, Design, and Growth teams to convert vision into shippable increments.
Must‑Have Technical Skills
- Ruby & Ruby on Rails (advanced) — idiomatic Ruby, MVC, ActiveRecord, caching, background jobs.
- NestJS (advanced) — modular architecture, decorators, guards, interceptors, dependency injection.
