Overview
Senior Ruby on Rails Developer at NousLib (remote-first team via Workana Premium). NousLib is a dating platform with over 2.5 million users, triple-digit growth, and a place in the Top 10 Lifestyle Apps in France. The app is built on Rails with a sleek mobile webview and is scaling fast across Europe, Japan, and the UK.
What You'll Build
Your first months will focus on two high-impact projects: a custom in-house customer service platform (think Zendesk, rebuilt for privacy-sensitive needs of a dating app) and a story-based matching feature where users connect through shared fantasies — match on desire, not looks.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
* Implement backend features in Ruby on Rails for both web and mobile
* Design performant APIs and services that scale
* Collaborate with frontend (Vue/React) and mobile freelancers
* Refactor legacy logic and improve performance on high-traffic code
* Drive technical decisions as you grow into deeper ownership
Requirements
* 5+ years of professional experience with Ruby on Rails
* Strong database skills (MySQL, Redis, MongoDB)
* Solid frontend awareness (React/Vue, HTML/CSS) — you’ll interface with it, not own it
* Collaborative mindset — you’ll work with a distributed team across LATAM and Europe
* Familiarity with mobile (Swift/Kotlin) ecosystems is a plus
* Self-sufficient, communicative, and product-aware
Nice-to-Have
* Hotwire, WebRTC, AI/LLM interest
* Experience with moderation tools, chat/messaging features, or user privacy systems
Benefits
