3. Build, optimize, and support backend services and APIs, contributing to architectural decisions and improving system design beyond standard MVC patterns.
4. Collaborate in a highly distributed, pairing-heavy engineering culture, actively participating in daily cross-team coding sessions and technical discussions.
5. Mentor and guide engineers on DevOps practices, system design, and operational excellence while supporting continuous improvement of engineering workflows.
6. Maintain and enhance CI/CD pipelines, testing practices, and observability systems to improve deployment speed, system reliability, and incident response.

Requirements

2. Strong expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, SQL, Linux, and modern cloud infrastructure tooling, with hands-on experience designing scalable systems.
3. Solid development experience in Ruby, Rails, or similar backend languages such as Python, Java, Go, or .NET.
4. Deep understanding of software architecture patterns, distributed systems, and production-grade system reliability practices.
5. Proven experience working in remote, globally distributed teams with strong collaboration and communication skills.
6. Comfortable with pair programming, code reviews, and evaluating AI-generated or automated code outputs critically and effectively.
7. Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive complex technical initiatives from design through production.
