Greenhouse has partnered with Deel to be its Employer of Record in Argentina (more information here). Through this arrangement, Deel is hiring a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to provide services to Greenhouse.

This role will support the design, development, and evolution of the Company’s web-based applications. In this role, you will work across the entire application stack to deliver high-quality features for the Company.

Your work will range from building net-new functionality to improving how data flows across the Company’s services at scale. This is a collaborative role where you will work closely with product, design, and engineering partners to ensure the platform remains performant, reliable, and user-friendly.

Who will love this job

• A Pragmatic Architect - You don’t just write code, you think about how systems connect. You enjoy refining data models and improving system architecture to support long-term scalability.
• A Full-Stack Specialist - You are equally comfortable navigating a PostgreSQL query, styling a React component, or building a robust controller in Rails.
• A Quality Advocate - You believe “done” includes comprehensive automated tests and clear documentation. You take pride in leaving the codebase better than you found it.
• A Collaborative Problem-Solver - You thrive in an environment where code reviews are a dialogue and cross-functional collaboration is the norm.
• An AI fluent engineer - you already use tools like Claude to move faster, and you're excited to build on that experience

What you’ll do

• Build, modify, and maintain features using Ruby on Rails, modern JavaScript frameworks (React), HTML, and CSS
• Execute on high-impact projects
• Ensure code is maintainable and aligned with established engineering standards
• Contribute to the evolution of system architecture, including improvements to data transfer across services and ingestion pathways
• Design and maintain RESTful APIs, webhook-driven integrations, and data exchange pathways with third-party systems
• Diagnose and resolve complex integration issues to improve information flow
• Design and update PostgreSQL data models, refactoring legacy models to improve performance and reduce complexity
• Participate in production support during working hours, addressing bugs and escalations as needed
• Use monitoring and observability tools to maintain application stability and support performance tuning
• Participate in peer code reviews and provide constructive feedback
• Produce technical documentation, including architecture notes, implementation guides, and runbooks
• Write automated tests (unit, integration, and E2E) to ensure reliability and coverage

You should have

• 5+ years of experience writing and maintaining production-level code in a professional environment
• Strong experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails
• Experience with JavaScript and React, plus solid HTML and CSS fundamentals
• Deep understanding of MVC architecture and backend optimization
• Proven ability to write efficient SQL, design relational data models, and optimize PostgreSQL performance
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and managing third-party integrations via webhooks
• Proficiency with automated testing frameworks (e.g., RSpec, Jest, Cypress) and a commitment to test-driven practices
• Ability to contribute to architectural discussions and implement solutions that operate effectively at scale
• Comfort working in agile environments using standard development tools such as Git, CI/CD pipelines, and observability platforms
• Fluency in agentic coding and with leveraging and configuring AI tooling
