The team plays a critical role in shaping a best-in-class SaaS platform that powers business spend management for organizations globally.

• At least 6+ years of experience in software development.
• Knowledge of Ruby.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes and AWS cloud-native application development.
• Understanding of deployment based on AWS and Kubernetes.
• Experience providing estimates and implementing complex systems.
• Experience with Git
• Proven understanding of software development best practices and design patterns.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or similar) or equivalent experience.

While this is a Senior Ruby Engineer position, it’s important to highlight that this role goes far beyond just writing Ruby code. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in cloud-native architecture, deployment, and production infrastructure management, including:

– Kubernetes (Expert level)

• Not just usage, but also architecture, configuration, and maintenance of production clusters.
• Knowledge of Helm, ingress controllers, autoscaling, secrets management, observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana), etc.

– Cloud-Native Application Development (AWS)

• Implementation of cloud-native architectures (12-Factor App), building services that run and scale in AWS + Kubernetes environments.
• Experience working with AWS services such as EKS, EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, ELB, and others.

– Deployment experience (CI/CD pipelines)

• Independent or team-based implementation of deployment processes — for example, using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Spinnaker.
• Including secure deployment, rollback strategies, and automation of provisioning (Terraform, Helm Charts).

– What is NOT enough

• Simply running an application locally via Docker.
• Simply working with AWS APIs (via SDK).
• Being a developer who “hands off code, and the deployment is done by another team.”

• Design, develop, maintain, and scale core platform systems and services.
• Participate actively in operational design discussions and code reviews.
• Deliver creative, elegant, and maintainable solutions to complex technical challenges.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless deployment and production reliability.
• Continuously improve deployment infrastructure, including CI/CD pipelines and monitoring tools.
