  • Deep expertise with Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Redis, and RESTful APIs
  • Experience leading a team or mentoring other developers in a fast-paced environment
  • Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React or similar) is a plus
  • Strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and a mission-driven mindset
  • Experience working in an EdTech, SaaS, or remote-first company is a bonus
