Job description

Position Overview We are looking for experienced software engineers with strong expertise in Ruby on Rails (RoR) and enterprise-level application development. The client is not looking for generic Ruby on Rails developers who only build REST APIs. Candidates must have a deep understanding of the Rails framework, backend architecture, complex system integrations, and enterprise-scale applications. Technical Requirements Candidates should have strong knowledge and hands-on experience in the following areas: 1. Ruby on Rails Beyond REST APIs • Deep understanding of the Ruby on Rails framework beyond basic API development. • Experience building and maintaining enterprise-grade Rails applications. 2. Background and Asynchronous Processing • Experience with background processes and asynchronous processing. 3. Metaprogramming • Strong understanding of Ruby metaprogramming concepts. 4. Active Record and Database Callbacks • Experience with Active Record and database callbacks. 5. Large-Scale Data Processing • Experience handling large volumes of data efficiently. 6. Polyglot Systems • Understanding of systems involving multiple programming languages and technologies. 7. System Integrations • Experience with integrations and interactions between different enterprise systems. 8. Enterprise-Scale Ruby on Rails • General understanding of enterprise-scale Rails applications and architecture. Communication and Architectural Skills Candidates must demonstrate: • Very good communication skills. • Ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs. • Ability to explain why a particular technical approach was selected. • Ability to understand and articulate the current technical architecture and implementation approach. • Ability to communicate effectively with peers and teams across the organization. Project Environment The client operates in a complex enterprise environment with the following characteristics: • Enterprise Platforms and Products: The work involves long-term enterprise platforms and products rather than short-term projects. • High Availability: Systems are expected to meet near-zero-downtime commitments. • Complex Existing Systems: Candidates must be able to understand and work with existing complex systems, rather than focusing only on developing new features. • Production-Grade Applications: Engineers must be capable of contributing to production-grade enterprise systems over an extended period. Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is an experienced Ruby on Rails engineer who: • Has deep, hands-on experience with the Rails framework beyond REST API development. • Understands enterprise application architecture and system design. • Has worked on large-scale, business-critical production systems. • Can troubleshoot, maintain, and enhance complex existing applications. • Understands asynchronous processing, database operations, and enterprise integrations. • Can clearly explain architectural decisions and technical trade-offs. • Can work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams.
