Senior Rails Back-End Developer

Hubstaff, a pioneer in remote work technology, is seeking a Senior Rails Back-End Developer to join their engineering team in a full-time, remote capacity. With over a decade of remote-first operations, Hubstaff has established itself as a leader in workforce analytics and time tracking, serving more than 95,000 businesses globally.

The role focuses on architecting, scaling, and optimizing the back-end systems that power Hubstaff's SaaS platform. As a Senior Rails Back-End Developer, you'll be responsible for designing high-volume APIs, optimizing database performance, and ensuring system reliability. The position requires expertise in Ruby on Rails, with 7+ years of professional development experience, including 5+ years specifically in production Rails applications.

Key responsibilities include designing and maintaining services using Ruby on Rails, architecting scalable systems handling millions of records, implementing background job processing with Sidekiq and Redis, and writing automated tests with RSpec. You'll work with PostgreSQL or MySQL databases, requiring strong expertise in schema design and query optimization.

The ideal candidate should have experience with modern architectural patterns, async processing, and a proven track record of designing systems for performance and scale. While JavaScript knowledge is a plus, it's not mandatory. The role offers competitive compensation ($45-50 USD/hour), flexible remote work, and the opportunity to contribute to a product-led company with strong momentum and a clear long-term vision.

Hubstaff values stability and deep product knowledge, making this an excellent opportunity for engineers looking to grow with a product and team for years. The company maintains an inclusive environment and offers benefits including a remote-first culture, technically challenging work, and the chance to make a significant impact on a rapidly growing platform.
