Senior Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails)

We are innovating in logistics, and we've achieved this thanks to a team of forward-thinking people who strive for growth and to change the world.

At Skydropx, you will find space to grow your career in a dynamic, ambitious, and multicultural work environment.

As a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer, you will have the opportunity to technically lead the design and development of services that advance our software products, working closely with other developers, architects, and the product team. You will be responsible for making high-impact architectural decisions, defining technical standards, and guiding the team in adopting modern development methodologies. You will analyze complex needs to design scalable solutions that integrate with our architecture and operational environment, as well as contribute to the technical evolution of our products and services.

At Skydropx, AI is a central part of how we build our product. We believe AI and humans do their jobs best when each focuses on what they do best: we leave AI repetitive tasks and those that scale poorly with human effort, and humans are left with decisions requiring judgment and accountability. Although this role is focused on platform engineering, you will work closely with AI systems and should be comfortable operating within this ecosystem.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead the design and development of new features and critical improvements for our products and services, ensuring security, performance, and test coverage.

• Make architectural decisions and propose system-level technical improvements.

• Design and implement high-performance Rails components when required by efficiency, concurrency, or memory safety needs.

• Write and review detailed technical documentation, as well as RFCs and design proposals.

• Solve technical problems of high complexity and scale, including debugging distributed systems in production.

• Define and enforce code quality standards, maintainability, and best practices at the team level.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, helping them grow technically and removing obstacles to their autonomy.

• Lead demanding but constructive code reviews, raising the technical level of the team.

• Independently launch large-scale features and improvements, coordinating with other teams as needed.

• Actively participate in technical planning and the definition of the engineering roadmap.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Required: English B2 or higher.

• +6 years of experience in software design and development of Rack applications with Ruby on Rails.

• Solid experience with JavaScript and modern frontend ecosystems.

• Proven experience designing and building microservices and APIs.

• Deep knowledge of software engineering and best practices for the entire development lifecycle (coding standards, code reviews, version control, CI/CD, testing, and operations).

• Hands-on experience designing and deploying large-scale distributed systems and highly available client-server architectures.

• Demonstrated ability to technically lead, mentor other engineers, and communicate complex ideas to technical and non-technical audiences.

• Bonus points:

  • Previous experience with GCP (or other cloud providers like AWS or Azure).
  • Experience with Kafka (or other similar technologies) in event-driven systems.
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and complexity analysis.
  • Contributions to open-source projects, especially within the Ruby ecosystem.
  • Experience with observability (tracing, metrics, structured logging).

WE OFFER:

• Regional-level mission: To ensure LATAM businesses have peace of mind regarding their logistics.

• Location: Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, Peru.

• Salary: Competitive and negotiable depending on experience, skills, and hiring process outcomes.

• Scheme: 100% remote.
