Job description
 

Ruby on Rails powers a lot of our infrastructure, and we’re always looking for hardworking Ruby engineers to support us in reaching the next level. By joining our team, you will work on many of our Ruby projects with highly skilled engineers from around the world. At Toptal, we push the boundaries on what’s possible with Ruby every single day, and we’d love for you to be a part of it!

The bulk of the work we do daily is pure back-end development, but occasionally some new UI must be wired up, so some front-end skills certainly won’t hurt. We don’t cut corners or make compromises—we build beautifully crafted web apps that are polished, fast, well-tested, and a joy to use.

This is a remote position that can be done from anywhere. Due to the remote nature of this role, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship. Please submit resumes and communication in English.


Responsibilities

• Write elegant, efficient, and testable Ruby code, which is easy to maintain and debug
• Cover code with tests and perform manual testing of features
• Review the work of colleagues
• As an excellent teammate, continuously improve our team’s processes, brainstorm ideas, and communicate status and progress
• Mentor other people, provide feedback, and continuously improve as a professional
   

Requirements

• Have 5+ years of web development experience
• Have a strong knowledge of object-oriented programming, automated software testing, databases, development, and testing essential methodologies
• Care about multiple quality dimensions like user impact, failure tolerance, code maintenance, implementation time, security breaches, and performance
• Have experience developing with a web framework—with Ruby on Rails is a plus
• Be genuinely interested in technology and love to try new things
• Seek complex problems but also consider multiple solutions, weigh them in, and decide on the best course of action
• Grow with providing and receiving transparent but always constructive feedback
• Special individual contributors will thrive at Toptal. We are not here just to tell other people what to do
