Hire Ruby on Rails developers in United States

I've been developing software for 30 years, and I have a preference for rails due to how productive it makes me. I'm not much of a fan of the hotwire story within Rails, but mostly work with typescript on react. I'm fluent with SQL and use that to refactor poorly performing queries

I partner with non technical founders and business leaders. Together, we are building systems that solve today's problems, I am a 3x inc 500/5000 cofounder. Ive built distribution systems, technology platforms & teams, raised capital, and helped scale NYC based startups from 0 to 100. I technically cofounded a high growth company and scaled it for 7 years. I am a programmer, but the experience has also made me a strong operator, technical recruiter, trainer and executive. Seed -> Series B. I enjoy technical greenfield projects as well as taking a company through a new stage of growth. If you are looking for a CTO, technical advisor, Fractional CTO, CTO-as-a-service, or full time technical cofounder... or even COO we should talk. Many technical people do not have a business mind, they push towards expensive solutions and complexity. I love service leadership, lean startup, rails, pragmatism and simplicity. https://www.linkedin.com/in/danmorena/

Hi! I'm Liz 👋🏼 I'm about as full-stack 🥞 as they come. I started as a QA and automation engineer and now I'm a senior full-stack engineer focusing on Rails and React. Early on as a QA I worked on projects from writing SQL scripts to check data, to automation engineering, to React Native applications, and even helping implement Kafka instances and a team transition to Kubernetes. Then I moved on to development, mostly focusing on Rails / React stacks. I also am very comfortable working in Python. Now I've been a full stack developer for a few years, always carrying my QA mindset with me. I love exploring the ins and outs of a problem, and figuring out where I can pick it apart and expose weaknesses. I'm really great at building relationships with stakeholders, establishing trust and cooperation so that we can all move forward with a project in a very pragmatic way. Pairing with coworkers is always very enjoyable for me. I like the collaboration, but I really value the mentorship the most. Teaching juniors git has become a mainstay for me, as well as coaching them to maintain a calm mindset while debugging, encouraging them to move through issues in a systematic way. And of course I always fit in robust testing, showing folks how to create test suites and pipeline automation that will improve their workflow. Let's talk about how I can contribute to your team and stack 🙌🏻

Got my start in Java almost 20 years ago, then moved to PHP before finding home in Ruby and Rails. There's no other stack quite like it and I'm content here. Passionate about refactoring and improving the quality of existing code. RSpec is my jam because it's expressive DSL is easy to read and understand. I don't believe that strict adherence to "design patterns" is always necessarily the best option, especially when adopting those patterns require breaking established conventions. I prefer monoliths to microservices and server-side rendering to SPAs. I like to keep things simple. I like to stick to what works. Containerized apps are fun, but there's just nothing quite like a simple bundle check && bin/dev on your desktop to get you up and running. I've worked in AgTech, FinTech, RegTech, and GovTech-adjacent. AgTech was probably my favorite so far. There were so many new and interesting challenges to tackle in that industry. It was a low-pressure, low-stakes environment where exploration was what the journey was all about.

Been building on the web since the late 90s. Ruby on Rails since 2007. I love building things that solve a need for users. I'm really into the idea exploration, as well as the implementation, focusing on the important parts and what drives the product forward. I enjoy Ruby, JavaScript and everything web - I strive for the simple solution to prove it works, before going for the more complex. I spent the last 10 years at a company that grew from 80 people when I started to more than 6000 when I left. I've been working on all parts of the stack. I enjoy full stack web development. I like thinking about the UI and making it look crisp. I feel super comfortable on the frontend and likewise on the backend. I have launched, failed and succeeded with multiple side projects. I've worked on everything from small nice-to-use UI details to more complex payment code. I absolutely love Ruby on Rails and the tools it gives me, which makes implementing features and ideas very very fast. I'm good at css, I love JavaScript. I write code because it solves problems for users and that's what excites me :)

I'm fortunate to have gathered many years of experience working with Shopify, focusing mainly on full-stack web development. My background in both programming and entrepreneurship has given me a broad perspective that I try to bring to each project. I'm constantly motivated to learn and integrate new technologies, a passion that keeps me engaged in my work. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with various Shopify merchants, from startups to more established businesses. While web development is my core competency, I also have some experience in marketing, which has proven helpful in understanding client objectives holistically. Technologically, I'm comfortable working with a suite of tools that include Ruby on Rails, Stimulus, Turbo, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, and React. Ruby on Rails is my go-to full-stack framework, and I've also picked up some proficiency in JavaScript, among other technologies. It's an ongoing journey to maintain expertise in creating contemporary web applications.

As an experienced software engineer with over 20 years of expertise in web application development and technical team leadership, I have shown my ability to deliver results. Throughout my career, I have collaborated in two company acquisitions, as a tech lead at GoToast, and as the CTO at ROXIMITY. I'm passionate about finding the right balance when creating software that meets business needs, scales smoothly, and is easy to maintain. What I'm looking for is the opportunity to learn and collaborate with intelligent and motivated teams. My proven track record demonstrates my commitment to excellence and my ability to achieve results. I'm excited to bring my experience and expertise to amazing companies, teams, and products.

Senior engineer with experience in both greenfield and legacy codebases. I believe that developer happiness and productivity are doubly linked and strive to optimize for both. I'm at my best when I can take ownership of high-stakes features and work with business units to understand the technical and business tradeoffs. Collaborative, no-ego teams are my favorite to foster. Most recently I've been working in the fintech industry on a legacy monolith application with Hotwire and ViewComponents. I've worked successfully with both US and overseas development teams and enjoy providing a multiplicative effect on my colleagues.

I am the founder and architect of Alchemists where we have a strong focus on software engineering principals and the joy of the craft in general. More about me can be found here: https://alchemists.io/team/brooke_kuhlmann

There's an inflection point in every startup, where you've got your MVP and some initial customers, and now you need to scale everything. Not just the performance of your application, but entire features to support a new kind of larger customer. You need to grow the team, not just engineering, but product and customer support, and also incorporate the tools to support them. This is where I'm in my groove, and at my most effective. I've grown teams from 3 to 20+, improved application performance while handling 100x the load, and designed and built features from the ground up in an iterative and agile manner to minimize time-to-delivery while maximizing flexibility for future work. I have over 20 years' experience as a "web application" developer, in a variety of languages and technologies (PHP, Perl). I've been a Rails developer since there was a Rails, releasing my first app on 0.11 in 2005, and have kept up with it since. I'm comfortable working at entire levels of the app stack, from tweaking drop shadows in SCSS to optimizing database queries and debugging stack traces. I have the experience to know when I need to crank out some quick and dirty code vs take the time to architect a foundation that will scale and provide a platform upon which the team can build stable features for years. I'll work with other teams/departments within the company and customers to work to figure out optimal solutions to problems, gathering and balancing the various tradeoffs involved. I also really enjoying pairing with senior developers, since we can both learn something new, as well as mentoring and leveling up the juniors and mids. I'm involved in the various Ruby communities, have spoken at Rubyconf, and have frequented the local Ruby group for years. I've been involved with major Ruby open-source development in the past, like Merb and DataMapper, and am still an active contributor to smaller projects such as Dry-rb. If you're an early stage startup that needs someone to scale both your product and your team, then I'd be a great choice to help you out.
