Skill guide

What to know about Ruby

Ruby is a dynamic, expressive language created by Yukihiro Matsumoto and best known as the foundation of Ruby on Rails. Many US startups built their first product on Rails, and plenty still run large Rails monoliths for SaaS, marketplaces and e-commerce. Look for developers who write idiomatic, well-tested Ruby with RSpec, understand ActiveRecord performance, and run background jobs reliably with Sidekiq. Ask how they would upgrade an aging Rails app, carve a slow area out of the monolith, and keep gem dependencies secure.

Vetting

How we vet Ruby engineers

Each Ruby engineer goes through a profile review of their CV, code and past systems, followed by a communication check to confirm they can discuss design decisions clearly with your team. A senior engineer then runs the technical interview: live coding plus a system design scenario covering API design, data modeling, concurrency, error handling, testing and how the candidate would scale or debug a service under load. Only the top 1.5% of applicants are accepted, so the profiles you see have already cleared that bar.

Typical engagements

Design and build new APIs and services for a product launch, working inside your repositories and review process
Break a slow or fragile part of a monolith into a well-tested service
Pay down back-end debt: upgrade frameworks, add test coverage, fix slow queries and improve observability
