Ruby on Rails Developer

About Us

We believe the future of software development is AI-native — where engineers operate at a higher level of abstraction and quality remains non-negotiable. 

Incubyte is a software craft consultancy where the “how” of building software matters as much as the “what”.  

We partner with companies of all sizes, from helping enterprises build, scale, and modernize to early-stage founders bring their ideas to life. 

Our engineers operate in an AI-native development model, using AI as a collaborator across the SDLC to accelerate development while upholding the discipline of software craftsmanship. Guided by Software Craftsmanship and Extreme Programming practices, we build reliable, maintainable, and scalable systems with speed, without compromising quality. If this way of building software resonates with you, we’d like to talk. 

Our Guiding Principles 

These principles define how we work at Incubyte. They are non-negotiable. 

Relentless Pursuit of Quality with Pragmatism 

 We build high-quality systems without losing sight of delivery. 

Extreme Ownership 

 We take responsibility end-to-end for decisions, execution, and outcomes. 

Proactive Collaboration 

 We collaborate closely, challenge each other, and solve problems together. 

Active Pursuit of Mastery 

 We continuously improve our craft and raise our bar. 

Invite, Give, and Act on Feedback 

We seek, give, and act on feedback to get better every day. 

Ensuring Client Success 

We act as trusted partners and focus on real outcomes, not just output. 

Job Description

This is a remote position.

Experience Level 

The Staff Software Craftsperson is a technical leadership role equivalent to an SDE-4/SDE-5. We are looking for seasoned engineers with 8+ years of hands-on experience who have transitioned from building great software to shaping the engineering culture and technical strategy of an entire organization. 

As a Staff-level crafter, your focus shifts from solving well-defined problems to identifying and solving the most complex, ambiguous technical challenges that impact our clients and our internal engineering standards. 

What You’ll Do as a Software Craftsperson 

Technical Vision & Architecture: Lead the architectural direction for complex, large-scale systems. You will balance the immediate needs of the business with long-term system health, ensuring our solutions remain simple, scalable, and resilient. 

Engineering Excellence at Scale: Champion disciplined engineering practices (TDD, Pair Programming, CI/CD) across multiple teams. You don’t just follow the bar; you raise it by introducing better patterns and tooling. 

AI Strategy & Mentorship: Drive our AI-native development model. You will experiment with and define how we use AI to accelerate the SDLC, ensuring the team uses these tools to enhance—rather than replace—deep technical judgment. 

Cross-Team Leadership: Act as a force multiplier. You will mentor senior engineers, conduct high-impact code reviews, and foster a culture of continuous learning and craftsmanship. 

Strategic Client Partnership: Work as a technical consultant for high-stakes client engagements, translating vague business goals into robust technical roadmaps and navigating complex stakeholder environments. 

Systemic Problem Solving: Beyond resolving production issues, you identify "class-level" problems in our infrastructure or codebase and implement systemic changes to eliminate them permanently. 

Requirements

What We're looking for 

8+ years of experience building and maintaining high-scale production systems. 

Mastery of Fundamentals: Expert-level understanding of object-oriented design, functional programming, and system architecture (Microservices, Event-driven, etc.). 

Polyglot Mindset: High proficiency in Ruby on Rails and React/Angular, with the proven ability to architect solutions across multiple tech stacks (Python, Go, etc.) as needed. 

Influence without Authority: Demonstrated ability to lead through persuasion and technical excellence rather than just hierarchy. 

Advanced AI Collaboration: Deep experience integrating AI into a professional workflow to explore architecture, automate toil, and peer-review logic. 

Proven Ownership: A track record of taking a project from a nebulous idea to a successful, maintained production system. 

Communication: Exceptional ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership. 

Clear thinking and strong problem-solving ability, with the capacity to break down complex problems into simple, well-structured solutions.

A strong sense of ownership — you take responsibility for outcomes, care deeply about quality, and are not comfortable shipping work that does not meet your standards 

Benefits
