Software Engineer (Ruby)

💻 Mid-Level Ruby Developer

Remote-first (UK-based, ideally North West)

£55,000 – £65,000 DOE

Use your Ruby skills to solve real-world challenges – not just ship apps.

We’re partnering with one of the UK’s most exciting, fast-scaling SaaS companies — quietly building a product that's winning big in their space. With triple-digit growth over the past year and an ambitious roadmap ahead, this is your chance to join a team where your work will have immediate impact.

They’re not chasing headlines — they’re focused on building a powerful, modern platform with a smart team, solid values, and a culture that genuinely nurtures and rewards good people.

What You'll Be Doing:

You’ll be part of a collaborative, product-focused engineering team working on a platform that helps customers simplify complex problems with elegant, scalable tech.

• Writing clean, maintainable Ruby (Rails) code to power business-critical systems
• Pairing with teammates, contributing to peer reviews, and championing shared ownership
• Helping evolve and scale a well-structured, well-tested backend architecture
• Integrating external APIs, and building new features that directly improve user workflows
• Contributing to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure deployments, and occasional bug hunts
• Supporting and owning technical decisions in an agile, collaborative environment
• Helping to shape technical documentation, architecture choices, and process improvements

The Stack:

Ruby on Rails | PostgreSQL | AWS | Docker | Terraform | GitHub Actions | GraphQL & REST | ClickUp & Notion

What We’re Looking For:

You don’t need to tick every single box – but here’s what will help you hit the ground running:

• Commercial experience working in Ruby (Rails ideally) on production systems
• A good grasp of relational databases (PostgreSQL is a big plus)
• Comfort working in agile product teams, and writing code that’s easy for others to build on
• A strong handle on testing (RSpec experience a bonus), CI/CD pipelines, and version control
• Some exposure to cloud-native tools (AWS preferred) and containerised environments
• An appetite for learning – whether it’s new tools, frameworks, or better ways of working
• Knowledge of secure development principles and how to build for resilience

Why Join?

• Remote-first setup: Work from anywhere in the UK, with optional Manchester meetups
• Supportive team culture: Engineers who care about clean code, pair programming, and continuous learning
• Real technical ownership: Your voice will help shape the direction of the product
• Complex problems, meaningful impact: This isn’t pixel pushing – you’ll work on software that drives real business value
• Growth without burnout: A calm, curious, and values-driven environment that rewards initiative without ego

If you're a Ruby developer looking for a place where your work feels purposeful – and your team genuinely has your back – we’d love to hear from you.
