Senior Backend Developer (Ruby on Rails)

🚀 Who We're Looking For: A senior Rails engineer who treats a mature codebase with care and knows when to refactor, when to rewrite, and when to leave well enough alone.

🌍 Location: Fully Remote

💰 Salary: 24–26k PLN/month B2B (alternative contract options available)

Why Prosit?

We're a Norwegian–Polish technology consultancy building backends for products that real businesses run on. You won't be writing throwaway code — you'll own and evolve systems that customers depend on every day. We're fully remote and have been from day one. We don't measure presence; we measure outcomes. The people who thrive here are self-directed, organized, and don't need supervision to do excellent work.

What You'll Work On

• Order Arena (orderarena.com) — a catering SaaS platform. You'll maintain and develop its backend: Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and WebSockets. Over time, we plan to rewrite selected parts in Go, so prior Go experience is a real advantage — you'd help shape that migration.

• HMF Member Portal — a second Rails backend you'll help maintain and extend.

You'll architect, build, and own backend systems end to end, working alongside our frontend, data, and product people.

What We Offer

• Long-term commitment — we hire engineers to grow with us, not to fill a seat for a quarter.

• Stable, senior-led environment — direct technical leadership, low cargo-cult, high autonomy.

• Remote flexibility — fully remote, with core hours 9:00–15:00 (CET). Need to step away and catch up later? That's fine — we care about outcomes, not clock-watching.

• 4 weeks of paid holiday.

• Equipment and training budget — the hardware you need and real support for growing your skills.

• Meaningful products — live SaaS and portal systems with real users and real impact.

• A path into Go — a genuine opportunity to broaden your stack as we migrate parts of the platform.

• End-of-year bonuses recognizing real contribution.

Who You Are

• Expert-level, production-grade Ruby on Rails — this is the core of the role. You've shipped and maintained substantial Rails applications and know the framework deeply.

• 5+ years of backend development experience overall.

• Strong with GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL, and real-time features via WebSockets (ActionCable or similar).

• Comfortable owning and evolving a mature production codebase — you understand migrations, performance, and technical debt as engineering trade-offs.

• Strong internal motivation and self-organization — remote work is the default here, and we trust you to run your own day.

• English at B2 or higher.

Even Better If You Have

• Go experience — we're rewriting selected parts of the platform in Go, and you'd be part of that. A real differentiator.

• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• CI/CD and modern DevOps practice (GitLab CI/CD, Terraform).

• Cloud depth in AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• A genuine instinct for testing, observability, and performance optimization.

Tech Stack

• Primary (must-have): Ruby on Rails — expert level

• Core: GraphQL, PostgreSQL, WebSockets

• Plus: Go (migration target), Docker, Kubernetes

• DevOps: GitLab CI/CD, Terraform

How We Work with AI

We provide Claude Code (company-wide) and Cursor, and we expect engineers to use AI-assisted development fluently. But the bar is ownership: you treat AI as a powerful junior pair, not an authority. Every line you ship is code you understand, can defend in review, and stand behind in production. We're looking for people who are excited to adopt these tools responsibly — not to outsource their judgment to them.

Recruitment Process

Short and to the point — one online interview in English, in two parts:

1. Conversation — your experience, how you work, and what motivates you.

2. Technical part — a short pair-programming session on realistic, real-world-style code (no algorithm puzzles).

Ready to Build Something That Matters?

If you want to own backends that real businesses run on — and you bring the discipline to do it remotely — we'd love to hear from you.
