Job Description
Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer
VC Lab
• Own complex features end-to-end. Take a problem from spec to production — architecture decisions, implementation, testing, and deployment. You're accountable for what you ship. • Build reliable, scalable Rails systems. Work across the full Rails stack: models, services, background jobs, APIs, and the front end. Write code that your teammates can read, extend, and trust. • Collaborate closely with product and design. Ask the right questions before writing a line of code. Push back when a spec doesn't make sense. Help the team make better decisions with your technical perspective. • Use AI to write better code, faster. Leverage AI tools throughout your workflow — code generation, debugging, refactoring, documentation. Model what AI-first engineering looks like at Decile Group. • Improve the systems around you. Identify technical debt that matters, propose solutions, and follow through. Leave the codebase better than you found it. • Mentor and elevate teammates. Code review with care. Share knowledge generously. Raise the level of the people around you.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of professional Ruby on Rails experience in production environments
- Deep understanding of Rails conventions, ActiveRecord, background processing (Sidekiq/etc.), and RESTful API design
- Strong instincts for performance, security, and maintainability
- Experience with front-end technologies — you can build clean, functional UI and aren't afraid of JavaScript
- Active use of AI coding tools in your daily workflow
- Excellent written communication — your PR descriptions and technical comments are clear and useful
- Comfort owning work independently and flagging blockers early
