Backend Software Engineer - Ruby/Go

What You'll Do :

• Design, build, test, and deploy scalable backend features and services with minimal supervision.
• Work with Ruby/Rails, Go, or other modern backend technologies, with the ability to learn new technologies quickly.
• Build reliable and maintainable APIs, background jobs, integrations, and backend services.
• Design and optimize data models, database schemas, migrations, indexes, queries, caching, and asynchronous workflows.
• Write high-quality automated tests across unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end layers.
• Participate in code and design reviews, ensuring strong standards for security, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Debug and resolve issues across development, CI/CD, deployment, and production environments.
• Identify technical debt, architectural bottlenecks, and operational risks, and drive practical improvements.
• Take ownership of production systems, including monitoring, troubleshooting, and on-call responsibilities where applicable.
• Integrate AI effectively into your engineering workflow while maintaining high standards for code quality and correctness.

What You'll Bring :

• Strong professional experience building and operating production-grade backend applications.
• Solid fundamentals in software engineering, API design, databases, testing, debugging, scalability, and performance optimization.
• Experience with Ruby/Rails, Go, or another modern backend language.
• Proven ability to independently take a feature from problem definition - design - implementation - deployment - improvement.
• Strong engineering judgment across security, reliability, performance, maintainability, and operational risk.
• Understanding of modular architecture, service boundaries, coupling, and distributed-system trade-offs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in a remote and asynchronous environment.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools, with the ability to review, validate, and correct generated code.

Nice to Have :

• Go: Production services, concurrency, profiling, performance optimization, or gRPC.
• Cloud & DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure.
• Rust: Experience in systems, security, performance, or platform engineering.
• Data & Infrastructure: PostgreSQL, schema evolution, caching, queues, messaging, and event-driven architectures.
• Observability: Metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing, dashboards, and alerting.
• Experience working with modular monoliths, bounded contexts, shared components, or independently operated services.
