Role Description

This is a senior IC role with product involvement. You'll own features end to end — backend and frontend — from understanding the problem with stakeholders to shipping the solution in production.

• Ship features across the full stack — Rails APIs, background jobs, database design on the backend; React/Next.js components, state management, and UI on the frontend
• Work directly with stakeholders — understand the problem, help define the scope, and make pragmatic calls about what to build and what to skip
• Move fast with AI — use AI tooling to compress cycle time on implementation, testing, and iteration
• Design and optimize database schemas and queries (PostgreSQL) — write migrations, indexes, and queries that perform at scale
• Build and consume RESTful APIs — implement backend endpoints and integrate them into the frontend cleanly
• Ensure quality across the stack — write tests, participate in code reviews, and maintain security, performance, and reliability standards
• Contribute to architecture — help shape technical decisions on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, and related infrastructure

Qualifications

• Strong Ruby on Rails expertise — you've built and shipped production Rails applications and know the framework well (PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, Active Job, etc.)
• Solid frontend skills — you're comfortable building UI in React/Next.js with TypeScript. You don't need to be a designer, but you can implement clean, functional interfaces from specs or mockups
• Product awareness — you care about whether the thing you're building actually solves the problem. You ask good questions, push back on scope when it doesn't make sense, and think about the user, not just the code
• AI-assisted development — you're already using AI tooling to ship faster and you're looking to push that further
• Startup speed — you're comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and making decisions with incomplete information. You ship, learn, and adjust
• Full-stack ownership — you don't throw work over a wall. You own features from database to UI and take pride in the whole thing working

Requirements

• Up to $350,000 max total compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated (amount reflects combined cash and equity components)
