Senior Ruby Developer - 3 month contract - Fully remote

We're working with a rapidly scaling tech company that's looking for a Senior Ruby Developer to come in and make an immediate impact on an initial 3 month contract, with scope for extension.

This is a fully remote engagement and suits someone who can operate independently from day one.

The Role
You'll be brought in to optimise an existing Ruby on Rails application, with a strong focus on:
  • Identifying performance bottlenecks across the application and infrastructure
  • Improving scalability, reliability, and overall system efficiency
  • Working with AWS-based systems in a production environment
  • Making meaningful architectural and performance improvements as the business continues to scale rapidly

This is a hands-on role with real ownership, not just delivery.

What We're Looking For
  • Expert-level Ruby on Rails experience
  • Strong background working with AWS environments
  • Proven experience scaling applications at significant volume
  • Track record of performance optimisation and system improvements
  • A self-starter who can stand alone, take ownership, and deliver quickly

The Details
  • Contract length: 3 months (high likelihood of extension)
  • Location: Fully remote
  • Start: ASAP
  • Level: Senior/Independent contributor

If you're a Senior Ruby Developer who enjoys diving into existing systems, uncovering bottlenecks, and making things faster, cleaner, and more scalable - this could be an ideal contract.
