Duration: 2 sprints, with strong potential for continued work until June 2026

About the Role

We’re looking for a Ruby Specialist with deep experience in Discourse to deliver a fast, clean, and production‑ready P1 integration between Discourse and an existing Community application. The integration includes SSO via Okta and OIDC, group and role mapping, backend adapters, shared UI elements, webhook delivery into our analytics stack, and a smooth cutover plan.

This is a high‑impact engagement supporting an active squad. You’ll work closely with backend, frontend, security, IT, and data engineering partners to unblock engineers, validate designs, and land the integration safely behind feature flags. If the initial scope goes well, the engagement is expected to extend through mid‑2026.

We’re looking for someone proactive, calm under pressure, and comfortable operating in a multi‑team environment where clarity and speed matter.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the P1 Discourse to a Community application integration within two sprints
• Implement SSO using Okta and OIDC, ensuring secure token handling and session flows
• Create and test group and role mapping between the Community roles and Discourse groups
• Build backend Ruby adapters for moderation, taxonomy, and role syncing, gated behind feature flags
• Implement shared header and navigation elements for a consistent cross‑platform experience
• Create and validate webhook pipelines from Discourse into Snowflake for analytics
• Develop a clear cutover and rollback plan, including checklists and validation steps
• Write or review technical designs, threat models, and operational readiness docs
• Pair with frontend and backend engineers to land adapters, UI integration, and test coverage
• Coordinate closely with Security and IT on Okta configuration, secrets, and access policies
• Work with Data Engineering to finalize webhook schemas, retries, and observability
• Support sprint ceremonies, demos, and unblock teammates on integration or Ruby‑related work
• Ensure all deliverables are tested, documented, and ready for production

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails
• Strong hands‑on experience customizing and extending Discourse
• Deep understanding of SSO flows [OIDC, OAuth2, Okta] and secure token handling
• Proven experience delivering integrations behind feature flags or staged rollouts
• Comfortable writing technical designs, threat models, and operational runbooks
• Solid experience with APIs, background jobs, webhooks, and data syncing
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in distributed teams
• Advanced English

Nice to Have

• Experience with Snowflake or similar analytics platforms
• Familiarity with frontend integration of shared headers or cross‑app navigation
• Prior work in enterprise environments that require coordination across IT, Security, and Data teams
• Experience building rollback strategies and production cutover plans
• Hands‑on experience with DevOps or infrastructure supporting Ruby services
