About the Role

We’re looking for a Full Stack Product Engineer to help us design, build, and maintain production-grade features across our Rails backend and modern React/Vite frontend.

• Own features end-to-end: scoping, implementation, testing, documentation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Improve reliability, performance, and maintainability across the stack.
• Collaborate in a fully remote team through clear communication, async updates, and thoughtful technical discussion.
• Contribute to developer experience improvements (CI, testing workflows, tooling) that help the whole team move faster.
• Spot issues and proactively propose solutions and implement fixes.
  

Required Qualifications

• Strong professional experience with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL and Redis in production environments.
• Solid experience with modern React, ideally with Vite (or equivalent bundlers/build tools).
• Comfortable and motivated to work across the full stack, from database to UI.
• Ability to deliver production-ready code with a strong sense of ownership.
• Familiarity with Git workflows, CI/CD, Docker and AWS.
  

Standout Candidates

• Proactive mindset: Concrete examples of proactively identifying what needs to be done, communicate, and move forward
• Experience working in remote teams with excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with any messaging platform integration (e.g., SMS, WhatsApp Cloud API, etc.)
• Familiarity with observability tools (logs, metrics, tracing) and production monitoring.
• Contributions to open source.
