About the role

We are looking for a Ruby on Rails Developer to design, build, and maintain backend APIs for an existing or new backend service, working with a strong focus on API design patterns, performance, scalability, and security. You will write clean, well-tested Rails code against PostgreSQL databases, participate in code reviews and technical discussions, and collaborate with stakeholders to define and fulfill API requirements. The role is remote with a required 4-hour overlap with MDT for LatAm candidates.

What you will do

  • Design, develop, and maintain APIs using Ruby on Rails.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand API requirements and specifications.
  • Ensure API performance, scalability, and security.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
  • Participate in code reviews and technical discussions.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize API performance.

Must haves

  • 3+ years of experience working with Ruby on Rails.
  • Strong command of API design patterns and best practices in Rails.
  • Solid understanding of HTTP protocols and JSON data structures.
  • Experience with relational databases, e.g. PostgreSQL.
  • Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate effectively in a remote setup.
  • In terms of working hours: The role will mostly follow the LATAM time zone, with a required 4-hour overlap with Colorado (MDT). For Ukraine-based candidates, a minimum of 2-hour overlap with MDT is required — though the more overlap, the better.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Experience with background job processing, e.g. Sidekiq.
  • Familiarity with API documentation tools, e.g. Swagger/OpenAPI.
  • Exposure to Docker or other container technologies.
  • Experience working with distributed teams.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
