Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer | Remote (Eastern Time) | New York HQ

About Us

We are partnered with a Series A startup headquartered in New York, recently backed to scale their platform and engineering team.

They are building a high-impact product with serious traction and are now making key senior engineering hires to support their next stage of growth. This is a genuine opportunity to join early, shape the technical direction and grow with the business as it scales.

The Role

• Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer, fully remote (Eastern Time)
• Small, autonomous engineering team with real ownership and accountability
• Core backend work on a scaling platform with real complexity and interesting problems
• Greenfield development alongside modernisation of existing systems
• Close collaboration with CTO, product leadership and fellow engineers
• Opportunity to influence architecture decisions and engineering culture early

What They Are Looking For

• 5+ years Ruby on Rails in a product-led or startup environment
• Strong API design, REST and GraphQL
• PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq
• Experience with AWS or GCP
• Experience integrating or deploying AI/ML capabilities into production systems
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern engineering practices
• Someone who takes ownership end to end, not just their ticket queue
• Scale-up experience preferred, you know what it means to build and ship without a safety net

Why This Role Stands Out

• Early stage with real backing, not a pre-revenue bet
• Remote first with a collaborative, high-trust culture
• Equity on offer at a stage where it still means something
• Engineering leadership that came up as engineers, not managers

Requirements

• MUST BE CURRENTLY BASED IN THE UNITED STATES
• NO SPONSORSHIP REQUIRED

Compensation

• $180,000 - $280,000 + equity + benefits
