This is an existing vacancy, not a made-up role — thisone’salreadygota desk waiting.

About the engagement

You will join a multi-year program modernizing the digital platform of a major media and entertainment client. The platform is a large Ruby on Rails 8 application that serves a high-traffic public website, doubles as the editorial CMS, and acts as the integration hub for the client’s ticketing, event-management, and CRM systems.

The work spans a website refresh,



a significant uplift to the CMS authoring experience, hardening of fragile third-party integrations, a current API layer supporting a companion mobile app, and security and performance work ahead of a hard seasonal traffic peak. It is a mix of greenfield feature work and careful,high-stakeswork inside an established codebase you did not write.

This is not a rewrite. We are extending and strengthening a working Rails application, not replacing it.

Whowe’relooking for

You are a Rails developer in the deepest sense you reach for theframework’sconventions rather than around them, and you are comfortable with server-rendered HTML as a first-class architecture rather than a legacy compromise. You have shipped real features withHotwireand you can explain why Turbo Frames and Streams are the right tool for a given interaction instead of reaching for a client-side framework by reflex.

You are at your best in a codebase with history. You read before you write, you can trace an unfamiliar dataflowend to end, and you know how to make a meaningful change in an area with thin test coverage without breaking things around it. You treat a flaky third-party integration as an engineering problem with a real solution rather than an unavoidablefact of life.

You have a clear understanding of security and build it into any of your services.



Although you have full supportofyour teammates, you canparticipatein the research and solution to complex problems. At the same time, you know when to ask for help anddon’tlet pride or ego get in the way, because after all, you are part of a team.

You take initiative and communicate proactively in a distributed team working across time zones, writingclearlyand flagging problems early matters as much as the code. We are looking for people who bring curiosity and an appetite for figuring things out. Is this you?
