• Own the hardest PRs. Complex features, tricky refactors, performance-critical code. The stuff that requires senior judgment. • Review other engineers' PRs. Raise the bar. Catch issues before they ship. Mentor through code review. • Build enterprise features. SAML, SCIM, audit logs, permissions. Whatever enterprise customers need. • Work on billing and payments. Stripe integrations, subscription logic, usage-based billing. • Create and iterate on product features. API playground, dashboard improvements, developer experience. • Develop in-house algorithms. We build custom solutions. You'll design and implement them. • Debug and optimize performance. Memory profiling, CPU profiling, query optimization. You find the bottleneck and fix it. • Work with native gems and low-level bindings when needed. Different architectures, compilation issues, C extensions. • Ship frontend with good design sense. We use TailwindUI. You should be comfortable building clean, functional UI. • Maintain security standards. Understand common vulnerabilities. Review code with security in mind. • Stay current with Rails and AI. Know what's new. Adopt what makes sense.
