Full-stack Rails Engineer
Description
At DesignFiles we're looking for an experienced Full-Stack Rails Engineer to join our team.
About the job
At DesignFiles, we’re building the go-to platform for interior designers to manage every part of their business—from concept to completion. More than 7,000 designers already rely on our tools, and our remote team of 30+ is growing. If you care about building great products that solve real problems, we’d love to meet you.
Please note: This position is available to candidates within UTC±2 timezone. This is a contract role, and we are looking for individuals (not agencies) who will work with us full-time (40+ hours per week) as a core member of our team.
What You'll Do:
Work with experienced colleagues to design, write, review, and improve Ruby and JavaScript code in a Unix environment.
Collaborate closely with product and design to shape solutions and carry features from initial concept through implementation, rollout, and iteration.
Strengthen the long-term quality of the system by evolving internal architecture, data models, and performance as the product grows.
Take shared ownership of production quality, performance, and operational stability.
Participate in team rituals like daily standups, planning, and retrospectives, and help keep them lightweight, focused, and effective.
What we want from you:
Extensive Ruby on Rails experience on large, long-lived production applications, with the confidence to both ship features on time and make meaningful improvements to the system as it evolves.
Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Experience with Hotwire and ViewComponents is a plus.
Comfortable working in a Unix environment with Docker, PostgreSQL, and Node.js. Familiarity with AWS is a plus.
Sound engineering judgment and a pragmatic approach to balancing quality, speed, and long-term maintainability.
Comfortable using AI coding tools as a productivity multiplier, while owning the judgment on what ships.
Fluent English and the ability to explain complex technical topics, trade-offs, and decisions clearly in both writing and conversation.
