Full Stack Ruby on Rails Software Engineer (Senior - Remote)

Welcome to Brightline! We are seeking a Full Stack Ruby on Rails Senior Software Engineer to help us scale our core platform, build robust internal and external integrations, and evolve the data flows that power our clinical and billing infrastructure.

We are primarily a Ruby on Rails shop and we are bought into keeping our tech stack simple so that we focus on shipping fast and having fun. Instead of betting on exciting new technologies, we favor straightforward solutions and defining standards so that the codebase and ecosystem are a joy to work with.

We use Turbo, Tailwind, and ViewComponent to make beautiful UIs. Stimulus brings them to life and if we feel the need for it, we might sprinkle some React on top. We use Typescript where we think it benefits us, and default to Javascript otherwise. Our mobile apps leverage Hotwire Native to take advantage of existing web infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate on projects end-to-end with a strong emphasis on backend systems, API design, and integrations. Scoping features with product and design to shipping a finished feature into production

• Write code across the entire stack (currently Ruby + Rails on the backend and Turbo/Tailwind on the frontend)

• Have a mix of heads-down and pairing time, depending on the project and your energy levels

• Curate a great codebase through architecture discussions, automated testing and code review

• Bring a new perspective that helps our team continue to grow and improve

Requirements:

• You're excited about improving behavioral health for children, teens, and their families

• You love collaborating with team members from other departments (including product, marketing, clinical and more)

• You own projects and see them through, even if that goes beyond code

• You are thoughtful and empathetic in how you carry yourself, from decision making and execution, to communication and collaboration

• You care about solving problems and aren’t tied to particular solutions or technologies

• You have experience developing software professionally (primarily Ruby + Rails, with potentially experience in similar languages and frameworks such as Python + Django)

• You enjoy full-stack work but prefer back-end logic, data modeling, and system architecture

Bonus points for experience with:

• Healthcare stuff™, especially around insurance billing, health system integrations, clinical workflows, referrals, or coaching

• API development and integrating with third parties

We offer several benefits, perks, and stipends:

• Medical, Dental, Vision, Long-Term Disability, Life Insurance, Flexible Spending Account, and 401k

• 12 Company Holidays, Holiday Shutdown, Flexible Time Off, Parental Leave

• Health and Wellness Stipend, Home Office Reimbursement and Professional Development Reimbursement

• Stock Options

Our strategy is based on robust market research, including external advisory specializing in national compensation, and thoughtful input from every level of our organization. It is a combination of a cash salary, equity, benefits, wellbeing, and opportunity.
