Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Ruby Engineer / Tech Lead to join a growing technology business building large-scale operational SaaS platforms used within complex, real-world environments. This is a hands-on senior engineering role with a clear pathway into broader technical leadership responsibilities. It would suit someone who enjoys solving complex backend challenges while also taking ownership of delivery, technical direction, and team support. You’ll play a key role in scaling a modern Rails-based platform that supports high-volume transactional workflows, integrations with external systems, and mission-critical operational processes. Working closely with the Director of Engineering, you’ll help shape backend architecture, improve delivery processes, support customer onboarding initiatives, and act as a senior technical escalation point across the platform. The business operates within a fast-paced product environment where reliability, scalability, and delivery quality are critical. The culture is collaborative, pragmatic, and ownership-driven, with a strong focus on autonomy, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Job Responsibility

  • Leading backend development across a large-scale Rails application
  • Owning technical direction and contributing to architectural decisions
  • Designing, building, and maintaining scalable backend services and APIs
  • Supporting platform scalability, reliability, and maintainability
  • Improving and refactoring existing backend functionality to reduce technical debt
  • Optimising background job processing and asynchronous workflows
  • Supporting integrations with external third-party systems and APIs
  • Leading delivery planning, estimation, and technical scoping activities
  • Acting as a senior escalation point for technical and delivery-related challenges
  • Collaborating closely with product, engineering, and stakeholder teams
  • Supporting sprint planning, Agile ceremonies, and delivery processes
  • Mentoring and supporting engineers through technical guidance and collaboration
  • Helping improve engineering standards, processes, and team effectiveness

Requirements

  • Strong commercial experience with Ruby on Rails within production environments
  • Experience building and maintaining scalable backend systems and APIs
  • Strong understanding of Rails monolith architecture
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Sidekiq
  • Experience working with AWS-based infrastructure
  • Experience using Docker within development or production environments
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving capabilities
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Strong ownership mentality with a pragmatic engineering approach

Nice to have

  • Experience leading Agile ceremonies or delivery processes
  • Experience scoping technical work and contributing to estimation activities
  • Experience working with Kubernetes-based deployments
  • Experience integrating third-party platforms and APIs
  • Experience within B2B SaaS or operational platform environments
  • Experience supporting live production systems at scale
  • Experience mentoring or supporting engineers within a team environment
