About the role
Rugiet is a high-growth, innovative telemedicine company focusing on men's health solutions. We leverage data-driven strategies and compelling messaging to connect patients with our life-changing services. This role involves leading software engineering efforts across web and mobile platforms.
Responsibilities
- Design and ship reliable Ruby on Rails APIs, background jobs, data models, caching layers, and performance optimizations.
- Develop and ship React (web) and React Native (mobile) features with a focus on accessibility, state management, and speed.
- Own end-to-end mobile feature work, including feature flagging, OTA updates, and native release coordination through the App Store and Google Play.
- Influence architecture and data modeling decisions, advocating for reliable, observable, and maintainable solutions.
- Uphold code integrity through rigorous testing, code review, refactoring, monitoring, and clear documentation.
- Improve platform stability and performance proactively by indexing, caching, optimizing job throughput, and enhancing user experience.
- Apply AI-driven development practices to accelerate feature work, refactors, framework upgrades, test generation, and code review.
- Establish and evolve team practices for maximizing the value of AI tooling, including what works, what doesn't, and how to measure its effectiveness.
- Look for opportunities to apply AI to both internal workflows and developer productivity, not just product features.
What You'll Do
- Ship features end-to-end across backend, web, and mobile platforms.
- Participate in stand-ups and provide clear, legible updates to non-engineers.
- Pair with Product Managers and designers on scope, communicating timelines and trade-offs transparently.
- Conduct thorough code reviews and contribute to a high-trust engineering culture.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues when they arise; participate in on-call rotations as needed.
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years of hands-on experience building web applications with Ruby on Rails and React.
- Production experience building and shipping mobile features with React Native.
- Strong React fundamentals: hooks, component architecture, state management, and testing (Jest/RTL).
- Strong relational database skills (PostgreSQL preferred): indexing, query optimization, migrations, and data integrity.
- Comfortable with modern Git workflows, CI/CD, and shipping well-tested code.
- Excellent written communication—able to translate technical detail into clear updates for non-engineers.
- Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools into your development workflow to improve speed, quality, or reach.
Nice to Have
- Experience deploying and operating apps on Vercel, AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch), or similar cloud and edge platforms.
- Familiarity with containerization and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with mobile release workflows: App Store Connect, Google Play Console, EAS, OTA updates.
- Background in telehealth or other regulated industries—comfort with secure data handling and HIPAA.
How You Work
- Clarify requirements, assess constraints, and weigh trade-offs before choosing tools.
- Prefer simple, observable solutions; ship incrementally.
- Take ownership—sweat the details, leave systems better than you found them, and follow through after release.
- Turn playbooks into scripts. Turn scripts into systems.
- Treat AI as a power tool, not a crutch—use it to compound your judgment, not replace it.
