Job Description
Software Engineer, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
Quidax
• Join a focused team working on the flows that matter most: deposits, withdrawals, partner integrations, and reconciliation. • Get across the RAMP codebase, understand the core flows, and ship your first meaningful fix in the first 30 days. • Own specific features or flows end-to-end by month 3, with support from the team where needed. • Independently investigate and resolve reliability issues across deposits, withdrawals, and partner callbacks by month 6. • Reduce recurring issues: stuck transactions, failed callbacks, unclear states, and manual escalations. • Improve test coverage across critical flows and leave every area you touch cleaner than you found it. • Add observability where it's weak: better logging, alerts, and debugging hooks. • Participate in code reviews, share what you learn, and support engineers around you. • Grow your understanding of transaction-heavy systems: idempotency, retries, state machines, and reconciliation.
Job Requirements
- 3 to 5 years of Rails backend experience in production environments.
- You write clean code, debug with patience, and care about how your work affects real users.
- Comfortable with APIs, background jobs, database design, testing, and debugging.
- Methodical debugger: you trace flows, read logs, and find the real root cause.
- You improve code incrementally without defaulting to a full rewrite.
- Bonus: Experience in fintech, payments, crypto, or on-ramp/off-ramp products.
- Nice to haves: Familiarity with transaction concepts: idempotency, retries, reconciliation, state machines.
- Experience working in a remote startup environment.
Benefits
- Fair Pay + Ownership
- Competitive salary based on your skills and experience; annual merit-based reviews to keep your growth visible and rewarded
- Growth That’s Real
- Annual performance reviews + clear promotion cycles; recognition for great work, from shoutouts to milestone rewards
- Personal development fund (courses, books, conferences); study leave so you can keep learning
- Fully remote forever + flexible working hours
- Unlimited paid time off + Nigerian national holidays
- Parental, sick, compassionate, and life event leave; we show up for you
- Quarterly remote team hangouts + annual offsite; interest-based communities (SIGs)
- Regular engagement surveys; your voice matters
- Health & life coverage in select locations
