Overview

Your Role

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer , you’ll be a cornerstone of one of our two cross-functional tribes, helping us evolve our Ruby on Rails-based platform and shape the future of B2B matchmaking.

  • You’ll have space to influence and evolve this stack — we value engineers who care deeply about developer productivity and maintainable architecture.

    What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience building web applications (ideally with Ruby on Rails ).
  • Solid understanding of web architecture , scalability , and database design .
  • Experience operating apps in production — logging, monitoring, debugging, optimizing.
  • A strong ownership mindset — you care about maintainable, observable, and resilient systems.
  • Collaborative spirit and comfort working in cross-functional teams.
  • Balance between pragmatism and perfectionism — knowing when to polish and when to ship.
  • Fluent in English and French (our working languages).
  • Bonus points for :

  • Mentoring experience or technical leadership.
  • ☁ Cloud infrastructure (AWS) and IaC tools (Terraform).
  • Experience with distributed systems or event-driven architecture.
