• Collaborating with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to develop new features.
• Ensuring high-quality, maintainable code with robust test coverage.
• Participating in code reviews, troubleshooting, and team discussions.

What you bring to the team

• Experience with Ruby on Rails and API development.
• Strong understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL).
• Familiarity with background job processing (Sidekiq, Redis).
• Strong problem-solving skills and an eagerness to learn.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
• Strong bias towards simplicity and maintainability.
