Our Technical Environment
At Bizimply, you'll work across a modern SaaS technology stack, including:
- Ruby on Rails – our core backend platform

- AWS – cloud infrastructure
- Git-based development and CI/CD
- Automated testing modern application monitoring and security tooling
- Anthropic/OpenAI LLMs and API
You don't need experience with all of these technologies. What's most important is strong Ruby on Rails experience, good engineering fundamentals and a willingness to learn.
Requirements
Essential
- 2–5 years of professional software development experience, with solid hands-on experience building and maintaining Ruby on Rails applications in a production environment.
- Good understanding of object-oriented programming, software design principles and fundamentals, testing, version control and writing maintainable code.

- Good understanding of relational databases and experience working with SQL and databases such as PostgreSQL or similar.
- Experience writing automated tests and working with a testing framework such as RSpec.
- A structured approach to diagnosing technical problems and finding practical, sustainable solutions.
- Ability to work effectively with other engineers and cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
- A proactive and curious approach to learning, with a willingness to take ownership of your work and continuously improve.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and coding agents, which are part of our day-to-day engineering workflow.

- Analytical & Diagnostic Thinking: You approach problems logically and systematically. You know how to investigate an issue, identify the underlying cause and determine an appropriate solution rather than simply addressing the symptoms.
- Ownership & Accountability: You take responsibility for the work you are delivering, communicate when you encounter challenges and see your work through from understanding the problem to production.
- Collaboration: You work well with others, contribute to technical discussions and are comfortable asking questions, sharing knowledge and learning from your colleagues.
