Job Description
At Gigs, you'll own complex backend problems end-to-end, designing and building robust, scalable solutions that power embedded mobile services for tech companies globally. You'll work on a Ruby on Rails monolith and actively participate in breaking it down into a more distributed system, while developing best-in-class APIs and services. Depending on your team, you'll work across Ruby, Go, TypeScript, and some Elixir — with plenty of room to learn and grow.
Responsibilities

- Develop innovative products that empower customers to bring world-class connectivity services to their users with ease.
- Uphold high engineering standards, improving tooling and processes where necessary.
- Design, build, and maintain best-in-class APIs and services.
- Contribute to the Ruby on Rails monolith and actively participate in breaking it down towards a more distributed system.
- Work across multiple languages — currently Ruby, Go, TypeScript, and some Elixir.
- Maintain system reliability by building for observability and participating in incident response as needed.
Qualifications
- Proven experience designing APIs and building backend services.
- Enjoys thinking about systems and cares about the quality of the software produced.
- Comfortable building products from scratch and taking full ownership from design to delivery.
- Loves learning new technologies and finds the right tool for the job rather than defaulting to the familiar.
- Understands the business impact of engineering decisions and knows how to make speed/quality trade-offs.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of making sound decisions without complete information.
