Job summary

Superconductor is seeking a VERY senior Rails developer to architect, review, and guard the quality of a fleet of AI coding agents. You define patterns, enforce standards, and review every meaningful change that ships. You are the last line of defense before code reaches production.

You'll work at the intersection of deep Rails expertise and AI-augmented development, directing agents the way a senior architect directs a team — except your team never sleeps and is as good as you make it.

Qualifications

• You are a VERY senior Rails developer with 10+ years of experience (ideally 15+).
• You love clean code, small methods, clear naming, and single responsibility.
• Experienced deploying, operating, and being on call for at least one medium-to-large Rails application in production.
• Comfortable with DevOps and debugging production incidents.
• Excited by the idea that AI writes the code and you shape the outcome.

Responsibilities

• Review code produced by AI agents for correctness, maintainability, security, and adherence to our standards.
• Define and evolve the application architecture, module boundaries, and system design principles that agents follow.
• Write architectural decision records, coding standards, and agent instructions that shape how code gets generated.
• See customer feedback flow directly into agent-generated tickets and code — and make sure that code is worthy of the customer who asked for it.
• Jump into production when things break — you have been the person on-call before and you know how to debug fast under pressure.
