Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer
Wolf
The Lowdown:
Wolf is the platform behind the next generation of staffing companies. We help firms launch their own talent marketplaces — complete with jobseeker apps, client portals, and internal recruiter tools — all white-labeled and powered by Wolf’s engine.
We’re looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to join us remotely and help build the backbone of modern flexible work. You’ll be working on everything from scheduling and payments to multi-tenant logic, API design, and internal tooling.
This role is perfect for someone who’s comfortable in a startup — fast-moving, pragmatic, product-minded — and excited to bring technical excellence to real-world features that impact thousands of workers and help us scale.
Your Impact:
- Contribute to backend development, in both serverful and serverless infrastructure. Bonus points for domain-driven design experience!
- Enhance system design for scalability, reliability, usability, and performance.
- Bring your point of view and experience to work across the company, so we all improve and win together.
- Write and maintain high-quality, scalable Ruby code.
- Design and build robust, scalable APIs using AWS API Gateway.
- Build integrations with third-party applications and services, as well as the platforms and services that will power them.
- Improve system observability, monitoring, and alerting.
- Troubleshoot, identify, and resolve performance bottlenecks and bugs.
- Collaborate with front-end engineers to ensure seamless API integration (Vue or React experience is a plus).
- Drive best practices in code quality, testing, and DevOps.
What’s In It for You?
- A role where you can make an immediate impact for real people who run their business on your code.
- You’ll work with sharp, low-ego people who move fast and laugh often.
- Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses.
- A fast-paced environment where your ideas matter.
- The opportunity to grow with a high-potential, venture-backed startup.
What You Bring:
- Expertise in Ruby (minimum 3 years) on production applications, and ideally with PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, and RSpec as well.
- Some AWS experience, ideally including with serverless architecture (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, RDS, S3, Beanstalk).
- Experience working with product and design teams to solve problems. Even better if you’ve worked directly with customers also!
- Proficiency with Git, GitHub, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
- Bonus: Experience with front-end frameworks like Vue or React.
