Description

• Join a team dedicated to creating products people love as a Remote Senior Ruby on Rails Consultant. • We're growing and looking for an experienced technical leader with significant Ruby On Rails experience. • You’ll work directly with clients on projects, leading by example with your communication and advocating for how we work as consultants. • You’ll partner closely with product managers, designers, developers, and clients to help solve problems. • You’ll deliver high-quality, well-tested software, mentor both client and thoughtbot engineering teams, and advise on product prioritization, agile process, team culture, and communication. • You’ll contribute to our growing expertise in applying AI to real world client needs. • During investment time, you'll contribute to the broader tech community, thoughtbot, and yourself. • This is a fully-remote position on the Boost team, focusing on embedding with technical teams to address technical debt, implement process improvements, and mentor and upskill client teams. • thoughtbot is a fully remote company, looking for teammates who overlap with our clients' teams working hours. • Target start date for this role is mid-late January.

Requirements

• Senior thoughtbot consultants are able to build high-quality, test-driven applications with Ruby on Rails, including Hotwire, and JavaScript (or TypeScript). • Well-qualified candidates will have an excellent knowledge of refactoring, application architecture, performance tuning, debugging, design patterns, and working effectively in legacy applications. • As consultants, we work closely with our clients. Experience with a client-facing role like consulting, teaching, or business development is also valuable, but not required. • Versatility in one other area is tremendously helpful. It’s a plus if you have strong experience in either full-stack JavaScript or in DevOps infrastructure management. • Our range of both server-side and client-side JavaScript includes React, TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, and Nest.js. • Our clients’ DevOps needs cover Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, building CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring applications with Prometheus and Grafana. • If you’re experienced with Ruby on Rails but aren’t as strong in full-stack JavaScript or in production DevOps, we’d still like to hear from you. • Well-qualified candidates value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment. • We especially appreciate candidates that demonstrate commitment to valuing DEI and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment. • We encourage you to apply even if you don’t match 100% of the requirements. Let us know if you need any specific accommodations during the interview process. • thoughtbot cannot sponsor work visas at this time.

Benefits

• Benefits vary by location, but all team members accrue at least 20 paid annual leave/vacation days per year and receive paid holidays and paid sick days. • thoughtbot ensures at least 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for birthing parents, and at least 6 weeks of fully paid parental leave for non-birthing parents. • All new parents have the ability to take up to at least 6 months off by combining different types of leaves. • In addition to country-specific benefits, all team members receive a monthly remote work stipend to offset the cost of internet, electricity, etc., and a remote workspace budget to setup their workspace. • Our team works in a relaxed and educational environment to develop excellent products for our clients. • We work a sustainable pace of 40 hours/week. • We also reserve at least 4 weeks per year for investing in ourselves, the company, and our community. • Everything we do is predicated on having a great team and a culture of growing. • thoughtbot does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, age, national origin, marital status, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other reason prohibited by law in provision of employment opportunities and benefits. • thoughtbot does not accept unsolicited resumes from any source other than directly from a candidate.
