Responsibilities: Application Development: Build and maintain Rails applications, APIs, and background jobs. Implement business logic with ActiveRecord models, controllers, and views. Integrate front-end frameworks (Stimulus, React, Vue) into Rails apps where required. Database Management: Design, migrate, and maintain schemas in PostgreSQL or MySQL. Optimize queries for performance and scalability. Implement indexing, caching, and background jobs (Sidekiq, Resque). Testing & Quality Assurance: Write and maintain unit, integration, and system tests (RSpec, Minitest, Capybara). Ensure CI/CD pipelines are configured for automated testing and deployment. Maintain ≥80% code coverage and enforce style/linting rules (RuboCop, StandardRB). Security & Compliance: Implement user authentication/authorization (Devise, OmniAuth). Enforce security best practices (CSRF protection, input validation, OWASP). Ensure compliance with data privacy laws (GDPR, HIPAA as applicable). Performance & Monitoring: Optimize page load times, API response times, and background job throughput. Monitor systems with tools like New Relic, Datadog, Honeybadger, or Rollbar. Troubleshoot issues and deploy hotfixes with minimal downtime. Collaboration & Documentation: Work with product managers and designers to scope and prioritize features. Participate in sprint ceremonies and provide accurate story estimates. Document code, APIs, and workflows for long-term maintainability. What Makes You a Perfect Fit: Deep knowledge of the Rails ecosystem and conventions. Strong problem-solver who can balance speed and scalability. Passion for clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. Effective communicator, comfortable collaborating across teams. Required Experience & Skills (Minimum): 3+ years Ruby on Rails development experience. Proficiency in Ruby, Rails, ActiveRecord, and MVC architecture. Experience with PostgreSQL/MySQL and background job frameworks (Sidekiq, Resque). Familiarity with Git workflows and CI/CD tools. Ideal Experience & Skills: Experience with front-end integration (Stimulus, React, Vue). Deployed Rails apps to Heroku, AWS, or GCP. Familiarity with caching (Redis, Memcached). Industry exposure in SaaS, fintech, healthcare, or e-commerce. What Does a Typical Day Look Like? A Rails Developer’s day revolves around building features, maintaining systems, and ensuring performance. You will: Review sprint tasks, picking up new feature tickets from the backlog. Write code for Rails applications, implementing business logic and integrating APIs. Run and review tests, ensuring new code meets quality standards. Collaborate with front-end and product teams, aligning features with user requirements. Optimize performance by tuning queries, adding caching, or fixing bottlenecks. Monitor error dashboards (Honeybadger, Rollbar) and deploy fixes as needed. Document changes and update repos to keep the codebase maintainable. In essence: you ensure applications are reliable, scalable, secure, and continuously improving. Key Metrics for Success (KPIs): Features delivered on time and aligned with requirements.
