We’re hiring our founding engineer.Right now, our product’s being built with a top consultancy; they’ve done the heavy lifting, and it’s looking great. But we need someone to come in-house, own it, and take it to the next level.What’s the gig?
- You’ll be our Principal Engineer, basically the grown-up in the room when it comes to tech.
- You’ll work alongside the consultancy (they’re solid), learn the system inside-out, and then run the show.
- You’ll decide how we scale, what gets built, and how we build it.
- Day one: hands-on Rails work. Day two and beyond: setting standards, mentoring future hires, making big calls.Stack’s simple and solid:Ruby on Rails | Postgres | Tailwind | Mini.Js | HerokuWhy bother?
- You won’t just be “joining a dev team.” You’ll be building the dev team.
- You’ll have direct impact with zero corporate nonsense.
- You’ll get exposure to big clients (banks, pharma, agencies) who are already using the product.
- Pay’s competitive, equity’s meaningful, and the growth path is real (Head of Eng / CTO is on the table).What we’re after:
- Rails chops. Postgres comfort. Enough frontend skills to not panic at Tailwind/JS.
- Someone who’s scaled an app before, thought about performance, security, architecture.
- A pragmatic builder: you ship, but you care about quality.
- Bonus points if you’ve seen SaaS, HRTech, or startup chaos before.The Bottom LineIf you’re a senior Ruby engineer and you want your fingerprints on an entire product (instead of one ticket in Jira), this is your shot.
