Work includes many enhancements, some remediation, addressing performance issues and migratin some code (some legacy apps are on Ruby 2, which will need to be migrated to Ruby 3, like some others already are).
Our client's systems are written in Ruby on Rails and thus they have a need for experienced Ruby on Rails developers.

Additionally candidates should be proficient with MySQL, git, rake, and related tools. As senior software engineer, you will also be responsible for helping to mentor others on advanced Ruby programming techniques, designing solutions to complex problems, and digging into an existing codebase to derive understanding and intent of various application features. The senior software engineer is also expected to be an advocate of Ruby best practices, continuously expanding and sharing knowledge.
All developers are given nice equipment (Apple computers and large screens). Candidates are required to work on-site, which maximizes communication and collaboration. Candidates should be strong team players with solid communication skills and an ability to write code that is easily understood by others.
