Job description

Howdy! Stuart here, founder and Head of Engineering at Rivo !

Are you a Full-Stack Rails engineer with 5+ years of experience?

Interested in working on the edge of what Rails has to offer when it comes to new features and developments

Do you enjoy using AI tools like Claude Code in your everyday coding?

Would building and scaling a fast-growing SaaS company while sticking to Rails best practices fire you up?

If so, awesome! Keep reading!

About the job

With the help of our small team, (and some awesome team members at Thoughtbot), we’ve built an amazing platform on Rails that has scaled wonderfully so far.

To give a small indication, we process roughly 20-30M Sidekiq Jobs per day and are adding 10-15M db rows per day.

Your job is to help us scale as a Full-Stack Rails Engineer. This is a remote, full-time role (40+ hours/week).

If a feature takes our competitors 8 weeks to build, we build a solid MVP in 8-10 days. We utilize the 80/20 principle to focus on what matters and just ship. Of course, we look at the usage metrics, then come back and complete the other 20% over time.

We rely on tools like Claude Code to remove countless hours of monotonous work and let us focus on shipping meaningful updates and features.

If this sounds like your style, we’d love to chat!

Requirements

5+ years of professional software development experience with Ruby / Ruby on Rails

Having experience in the Shopify ecosystem, particularly the shopify_app and shopify_api gems are a HUGE plus, but not a hard requirement.

In-depth knowledge of database systems, particularly relational databases (e.g., Postgres, Sidekiq and Redis)

The ability to adjust to our high-octane workflow. One of our core values is to create what works in its simplest form and iterate based on metrics and feedback. We don’t have long release cycles.

The ability to work in EST or PDT timezone, or at least overlap by 5 hours

Ability to write efficient and optimized code, following best practices and design patterns
