Sr. Ruby on Rails Engineer - AI Native Systems
Why This Role ExistsSoftware engineering is rapidly shifting toward AI-native development—where systems aren't just written by humans with AI assistance, but where AI becomes part of the architecture itself.We're looking for a senior Ruby on Rails engineer who is already exploring this shift.Not someone who simply uses Copilot or ChatGPT to write code faster—but someone who has been experimenting with AI as a builder, creating systems, workflows, or tools where AI meaningfully changes how software is designed, built, or operated.If you've already gone down the rabbit hole—pushing beyond basic AI-assisted coding and exploring what AI-native engineering could look like—we'd love to talk.What You'll DoDesign and build production Rails applications using AI techniques.Explore how AI can meaningfully change the architecture of modern applications.Prototype and implement AI-powered workflows, tooling, or product features.Integrate AI capabilities into real systems—not just demos.Collaborate with a team that's actively experimenting with how engineering changes in the AI era.What We're Looking ForCore Engineering5+ years of professional Ruby on Rails experience.Strong fundamentals in system design, testing, background jobs, and scaling applications.Ability to ship and maintain production-grade software.AI ExperienceYou've already experimented with building things using AI in ways that go beyond simple coding assistance.This could include things like:Building tools, workflows, or applications where AI is part of the system architectureCreating automated coding workflows or AI-driven developer toolingExperimenting with agents, autonomous workflows, or programmatic promptingIntegrating LLMs into products or internal toolingWe don't expect a specific stack or framework—but we're looking for people who are actively exploring what AI-native software development looks like.What Will Stand OutWe're especially interested if you can show examples of things you've built, such as:Tools or applications where AI performs meaningful tasks within the systemDevelopment workflows that dramatically change how code is written or shippedProjects that explore agent-based systems or automated engineering workflowsOpen-source tools or experiments in AI-assisted developmentSide projects, prototypes, or experiments are completely welcome.Our Engineering StackRuby on RailsStimulusJS / HotwirePostgreSQLBackground job systemsModern LLM APIs and AI toolingWhy JoinWe're a team of builders who believe the way software is created is changing quickly, and we're leaning into it. This role is for engineers who want to actively shape what AI-native software development looks like in practice.
