Job description

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails), Verify : Pipeline Execution in APAC, Canada, United Kingdom.

In this role, you will drive the development and scaling of a critical Continuous Integration (CI) platform, focusing on pipeline execution, scheduling, and orchestration. You will work on high-throughput, high-impact systems, optimizing performance, reliability, and user experience for teams ranging from small startups to large enterprises. The role requires collaborating across Product, Infrastructure, and other engineering teams to deliver innovative solutions, reduce technical debt, and evolve the architecture of a complex Ruby on Rails monolith. You will provide technical leadership, mentor colleagues, and influence the roadmap for pipeline execution, helping ensure the platform remains robust, secure, and scalable. This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex backend challenges in a remote, collaborative environment.

Accountabilities

  • Develop, maintain, and optimize backend services powering CI pipelines, using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.
  • Lead initiatives to improve system reliability, performance, and scalability, including database optimization and background job processing.
  • Design, implement, and enhance features such as pipeline schedules, merge trains, review apps, and browser testing.
  • Analyze and resolve complex production issues, driving architectural improvements and reducing technical debt.
  • Collaborate with Product, Frontend, Quality, and other engineering teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
  • Produce clear technical documentation and implementation guides for internal and external users.
  • Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior and intermediate engineers, contributing to long-term planning and architecture decisions.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience with backend development in Ruby on Rails and high-traffic production environments.
  • Deep knowledge of relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, including schema design, performance tuning, and handling large datasets.
  • Proven track record in improving performance, scalability, and reliability of complex systems and background processing.
  • Experience with secure, scalable architecture and zero-downtime deployment practices.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and familiarity with observability tools, metrics, logging, and tracing.
  • Ability to work effectively in distributed, cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
  • Experience creating user-focused technical documentation and proposals.
  • Comfort working in remote-first, asynchronous, and collaborative team environments.
  • Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity compensation.
  • Flexible remote work across eligible regions (APAC, Canada, United Kingdom).
  • Paid time off and professional development opportunities.
  • Parental leave and wellness support.
  • Inclusive, high-performing, globally distributed team culture.
  • Home office support and resources to enhance productivity.
