Are you an exceptional, hungry leader seasoned in scaling businesses through transformation and growth? Join us and change the world.
Job Summary Andela is transitioning from a world-class talent marketplace into a high-scale, AI-integrated Talent Cloud. As a Staff Full-Stack Engineer on our Internal Product team, you aren't just maintaining a platform; you are architecting the engine that powers the global remote economy. You will own the technical evolution of our proprietary Ruby on Rails ecosystem—solving deep-stack challenges in matching logic, global payments, and automated vetting. This is a role for a "player-coach" who thrives on solving complex problems with elegant code and long-term architectural vision.
Exceptional Leadership As an Andelan, you’ll serve as a role model for the rest of the company. Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you.
Low ego, low drama, servant leader: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone.
Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
Player-coach: You fly high (create strategy) AND low (know the details that matter). You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details.
Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.
Key Responsibilities
System Architecture: Lead the architectural evolution of Ruby on Rails applications, ensuring they remain performant, maintainable, and secure as they scale.
Full-Stack Execution: Deliver high-quality code across the stack, utilizing Ruby on Rails on the backend and modern frontend frameworks (typically React) on the frontend.
Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the Rails stack (e.g., N+1 queries, indexing, caching strategies) and optimize overall system latency.
Technical Leadership: Act as a force multiplier by conducting rigorous code reviews, defining CI/CD standards, and mentoring other engineers in the Andela community.
Strategic Partnership: Work closely with stakeholders to translate product vision into technical roadmaps, navigating trade-offs between speed and technical debt.
Requirements
Experience: 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 5 years focused on Ruby on Rails.
Backend Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of Ruby, Rails conventions, and the broader Ruby ecosystem (RSpec, Sidekiq, etc.).
Frontend Proficiency: Strong experience with modern JavaScript (React preferred) and CSS/HTML.
Data Modeling: Deep understanding of PostgreSQL or MySQL, including schema design and complex query optimization.
DevOps & Infrastructure: Familiarity with deploying and managing Rails apps on AWS, Heroku, or GCP, using Docker and Kubernetes.
Communication: Exceptional English skills; ability to influence technical decisions and communicate clearly with distributed teams.
Adaptability: A proven track record of thriving in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
