Responsibilities - Drive end-to-end ownership of Rails-based features, from technical design through delivery and iteration. - Produce production-quality Ruby code that emphasizes idiomatic style, performance, and robust automated testing. - Contribute to team-level architectural decisions covering data modeling, service boundaries, REST API design, and background processing. - Proactively identify opportunities to improve code quality, system reliability, performance, and developer experience. - Mentor less-experienced engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design feedback sessions. - Participate in an on-call rotation, taking ownership of incident response, root-cause analysis, and systemic improvements.

Nice to have - Experience with AI-assisted development tools, agentic coding workflows, and event-driven architecture. - Prior remote engineering experience.

Benefits and work setup - Fully remote within the U.S., with a preference for candidates based in Atlanta. - Salary range of $145,000 to $165,000, plus an annual bonus and equity. - Subsidized medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) with company match; flexible PTO; 16-week paid parental leave and disability benefits. - Company equipment provided (Windows or Mac), modern work schedules, and periodic in-person team events. - Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
