Role Description:

This role is ideal for seasoned engineers with 8+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining high-scale production systems, with strong expertise in Ruby on Rails and experience working with React.js and/or Angular.

The role focuses on technical leadership, architecture, engineering excellence, and solving complex, ambiguous problems while contributing to the technical direction and engineering culture of the organization.

What You'll Do:

- Technical Vision & Architecture: Lead the architectural direction for complex, large-scale systems. You will balance the immediate needs of the business with long-term system health, ensuring our solutions remain simple, scalable, and resilient.

- Engineering Excellence at Scale: Champion disciplined engineering practices (TDD, Pair Programming, CI/CD) across multiple teams. You don’t just follow the bar; you raise it by introducing better patterns and tooling.

- AI Strategy & Mentorship: Drive our AI-native development model. You will experiment with and define how we use AI to accelerate the SDLC, ensuring the team uses these tools to enhance—rather than replace—deep technical judgment.

- Cross-Team Leadership: Act as a force multiplier. You will mentor senior engineers, conduct high-impact code reviews, and foster a culture of continuous learning and craftsmanship.

- Strategic Client Partnership: Work as a technical consultant for high-stakes client engagements, translating vague business goals into robust technical roadmaps and navigating complex stakeholder environments.

- Systemic Problem Solving: Beyond resolving production issues,



you identify "class-level" problems in our infrastructure or codebase and implement systemic changes to eliminate them permanently.

What We're Looking For:

- 8+ years of experience building and maintaining high-scale production systems.

- Mastery of Fundamentals: Expert-level understanding of object-oriented design, functional programming, and system architecture (Microservices, Event-driven, etc.).

- Polyglot Mindset: High proficiency in Ruby on Rails and React/Angular, with the proven ability to architect solutions across multiple tech stacks (Python, Go, etc.) as needed.

- Influence without Authority: Demonstrated ability to lead through persuasion and technical excellence rather than just hierarchy.

- Advanced AI Collaboration: Deep experience integrating AI into a professional workflow to explore architecture, automate toil, and peer-review logic.

- Proven Ownership: A track record of taking a project from a nebulous idea to a successful, maintained production system.

- Communication: Exceptional ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.

- Clear thinking and strong problem-solving ability, with the capacity to break down complex problems into simple, well-structured solutions.

- A solid sense of ownership — you take responsibility for outcomes, care deeply about quality, and are not comfortable shipping work that does not meet your standards

What We Offer:

- 100% remote work
- High-impact projects & learning environment

Joining Preference:

- Open to candidates who can join at the earliest.

Work Environment:

Remote-first, collaborative culture with flexibility, accountability, and continuous learning, plus occasional in-person meetups.
