📋 Description

• Build and maintain high-quality Rails applications, as well as services in other languages/frameworks where required. • Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Droid, etc.) to accelerate high-quality delivery — not replace engineering judgment. • Contribute to architectural decisions, technical planning, and system design. • Debug issues, optimise performance, and proactively propose improvements. • Work with wireframes, mockups, and user stories to deliver well-designed systems. • Participate in code reviews and foster a culture of engineering excellence. • Own features end-to-end: from concept, to development, to deployment and monitoring. • Work across multiple live client projects and handle context-switching confidently.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong Ruby on Rails experience, ideally across multiple production applications. • Comfortable working in existing codebases and shipping within real-world constraints. • Experience with SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and some exposure to NoSQL stores. • Willingness and enthusiasm to work with React, React Native, Python, or Elixir when needed. • Sound understanding of version control, CI/CD, testing, and deployment pipelines. • Be excellent at prompting and using LLMs effectively. • Know when to use Claude, Cursor, etc. — and when not to. • Understand the difference between AI-assistance and outsourcing your thinking. • Use AI to enhance speed, quality, reliability, and documentation. • Have a strong engineering foundation for debugging, algorithms, and systems without relying on LLMs. • Personal Qualities: Comfortable collaborating synchronously with a team. • Excellent attention to detail and communication skills. • Ability to work across several projects at once. • Curiosity, adaptability, and a desire to continually learn new tools and technologies. • Agency experience is a bonus but not required. • A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience is welcome.
