We're hiring a senior full-stack engineer to help us build the next version of FeedbackFruits.

We believe in engineers who stay close to the product: domain experts who pay attention to how users actually behave and use the platform.
Most of the work comes down to one thing: making the product better. We rethink each feature from the user's perspective and rebuild it on stronger foundations, together with our designers and product managers.
We modernise the stack as we go, moving from Rails + Ember.js to Rails + Hotwire. There's deeper technical work alongside it, on performance, stability, and the platform, all in service of a product that feels faster and more reliable.
Stabilisation and simplification are our top concerns, from both a product and an engineering standpoint. We'd rather fix root causes for the long term than patch symptoms, even when patching would be quicker.
Our long-term aim is to get closer to our users by shipping faster, moving from one monthly release with regular hotfixes toward continuous delivery.
We've also adopted agentic coding and integrations to sharpen how we work, and we value multipliers: engineers who raise the people around them and put the team before their own output.

What you'll do:

Join one of our engineering squads and own full-stack delivery on the roadmap, from backend logic and database design to the server-rendered UI it connects to
Lead the migration of Ember features to Rails + Hotwire, which means understanding the existing functionality, redesigning it thoughtfully together with PMs/designers, and shipping something better than what was there before
Handle support escalations and legacy bug-fixing as part of the mix alongside feature work. The balance will depend on which squad you join, but keeping the codebase healthy and customers unblocked is part of the job
Contribute to improving our CI/CD practices and deployment pipeline as we work toward more frequent, more reliable releases
Keep performance in mind across the stack
Build and maintain integrations with Learning Management Systems using LTI and partner APIs
Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions, bringing both quality standards and a pragmatist's sense of what's worth the effort

What you bring:

You have 5+ years of professional software engineering experience and Ruby on Rails is your home stack: you've shipped production code with it, you know its conventions, and you're comfortable in its edges
You write tests as a matter of course, not as an afterthought. RSpec and Capybara are part of your regular toolkit, and you write tests that actually catch things rather than just confirm the happy path
You are user-oriented: when you're deciding how a feature should work, your first instinct is to think about the person using it, not the implementation that's most convenient
You've worked in a legacy codebase before and come through it well. You know what to fix, what to leave, and how to leave things better than you found them without getting stuck in a refactoring spiral
You understand CI/CD well enough to work within good practices and to nudge a codebase toward them when they're missing
You communicate clearly, give honest feedback in code reviews, and take it just as well. You’re collaborative without needing everyone to agree with you
You are pragmatic and document your decisions; you'd rather make a thoughtful trade-off and write it down than chase the perfect solution indefinitely
Familiarity with Ember.js or migration scenarios from it to Hotwire is a genuine advantage here; experience with AI dev tooling, Azure, or observability practices would serve you well too

What you get:

Your privacy, your choice
