oyster - Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails, APIs)
Requirements
• 3+ years of professional software development experience with a focus on Ruby. • Proven experience developing and maintaining Ruby on Rails applications. You can explain your API implementation choices and use Git effectively. • The ability to refine straightforward stakeholder requirements into well-scoped work, and to ask for support when risk or dependencies exceed the agreed scope. • Strong code quality habits: readable code, automated tests (TDD where appropriate), continuous integration, meaningful reviews and secure coding awareness. • Fluency with AI-assisted development, including independent verification of generated code, tests and assumptions. • Clear communication and effective collaboration in an agile, remote team. You adapt as priorities change and document decisions so others can work asynchronously. • Front-end experience with React and TypeScript. • Exposure to internal developer-facing APIs, identity and access management, or Model Context Protocol services. This is not required.
