Responsibilities

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails) to work on the AI Agents Runtime in our growing remote‑first team.

This role is fully remote with team members across Singapore, Europe and the US.

In This Role You Will Do

• Design, build and operate backend services that power conversational, action‑oriented agents within enterprise messaging and collaboration environments.
• Implement and evolve APIs, background jobs and event flows that connect agents to business systems and data sources.
• Integrate with multiple third‑party platform APIs (Slack / Teams / IdP / RAG / AI services, etc.) handling authentication, authorization, webhooks, rate limits, retries and idempotency.
• Enhance agent capabilities – tool/skill execution guardrails, approvals and auditability with security by design and compliance with enterprise requirements.
• Collaborate closely with Product / Design to craft clear chat‑to‑action user journeys and with SRE / Infra to meet reliability and performance goals.
• Contribute to technical strategy and architecture (service boundaries, data contracts, caching, schema evolution) with scale, observability and security in mind.
• Raise the bar through code reviews, design docs and mentorship on a small, distributed senior team.

Qualifications & Experience

• 5 years of professional software development experience with strong proficiency in Ruby on Rails.
• Interest and/or experience working with Go and Python for service development.
• Experience designing resilient integrations across many third‑party APIs at scale.
• Familiarity with workplace automation / iPaaS tools and concepts (e.g. Zapier, n8n, Make, IFTTT or similar) including triggers, actions, connections and governance.
• Solid command of web/API fundamentals: REST / HTTP, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, webhooks, pagination, backoff strategies, retries and idempotent processing.
• Strong foundations in testing (e.g. RSpec, Capybara, VCR), observability (metrics, logs, tracing) and performance tuning.
• Security‑minded engineering: PII and secrets management, least‑privilege access, tenant isolation and auditability.
• BS / MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.

Solid knowledge of object‑oriented programming and design.

Nice to Have

• Hands‑on experience building chat systems/bots or conversational applications for workplace scenarios.
• Experience building or operating LLM‑powered agents (any vendor) including designing safe execution paths with evaluations and guardrails.
• Background with enterprise identity and governance (SSO, SCIM, RBAC) and on‑prem connectivity patterns.
• Exposure to event streaming and queues (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ, Sidekiq, Celery), caching (Redis, Memcached), relational databases at scale (e.g. PostgreSQL) and complex containerized/cloud deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS or equivalents).

Soft Skills

• Clear written and verbal communication skills; strong command of English.
• Readiness to work remotely and collaborate effectively with a distributed team across global time zones (Singapore, Europe, US).
• High degree of personal agency, ownership and relentless follow‑through.
• Ability to thrive in an environment of blunt feedback, hard debate and fast decisions.
• A team player who holds themselves and others accountable to meticulous, high‑quality work.
