Job description

Accountabilities

• Develop, maintain, and evolve scalable, resilient RESTful APIs using Ruby on Rails.
• Participate in the complete software development lifecycle, including architecture, implementation, automated testing, deployment, and production monitoring.
• Contribute to the evolution of the core monolithic application while supporting microservices initiatives and integrations with external partners, including ERP systems, payment gateways, and third-party platforms.
• Maintain high engineering standards through code reviews, Clean Code principles, SOLID practices, and adherence to team development guidelines.
• Monitor and optimize application performance using application performance monitoring tools, resource tuning, query analysis, and database optimization techniques.
• Develop and maintain automated tests to ensure software reliability, prevent regressions, and support continuous delivery.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams using agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, working closely with engineering and product stakeholders.
• Navigate related technology areas when needed, including TypeScript and mobile development workflows, to maintain a broader understanding of the product.
• Take ownership of technical decisions, delivery quality, and production stability, ensuring that developed solutions remain reliable and maintainable.

Requirements:

• Proven professional experience developing applications with Ruby on Rails, with the technical maturity to work independently on production systems.
• Strong knowledge of REST API design, documentation, integration, and consumption.
• Solid experience with PostgreSQL, relational database modeling, and query optimization.
• Proficiency with Git and GitHub for version control and collaborative development.
• Strong familiarity with automated testing practices, including RSpec and unit, integration, and black-box testing approaches.
• Practical experience working with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS.
• A strong sense of ownership, with autonomy, initiative, accountability, and a focus on delivering measurable business value.
• Commitment to code quality, maintainability, performance, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in an agile development environment.
• Willingness to work with related technologies and understand the product beyond the immediate backend scope.

The following qualifications are considered an advantage:

• Experience designing microservices architectures and implementing messaging solutions such as AWS SNS and SQS.
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with NoSQL databases, caching, and queueing technologies such as Redis, DocumentDB, and DynamoDB.
• Knowledge of CI/CD practices and tools such as GitHub Actions and Argo CD.
• Spanish proficiency, which is beneficial but not required.

Benefits:

• Fully remote work: Work from home anywhere within the eligible employment arrangements in Brazil.
• Full-time employment: Join a dedicated engineering team in a long-term professional environment.
• Technical autonomy: Take ownership of development, testing, quality assurance, and production support without relying on a separate QA team.
• Professional growth: Expand your technical expertise by working across backend services, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and related technologies.
• Collaborative engineering culture: Work closely with product and engineering teams that value code quality, shared responsibility, and technical excellence.
• International collaboration: Gain exposure to international teams through written communication, without a requirement for fluency in additional languages.
• Inclusive workplace: Join an environment that values diversity, respect, ethics, and equal opportunity.
• Accessibility and inclusion: The opportunity is open to people with disabilities (PwD).
