Requirements

Is this the perfect role for you?

We’ll be honest. It's a big project with lots of moving parts, and the team moves fast (like a bullet train).

This job is not for everyone. Simplero has high standards and communicates clearly. You’ll be held accountable for your work and the team will care about you as a person.

Think about it…

✅ You have expertise in:

• Rails 7
• React JS with Relay and some Svelte
• React Native
• MariaDB, Redis, and PostgreSQL for data management
• AWS hosting for deployment
• Monolithic architecture (no containers, microservices, or other modern approaches)

✅ You LOVE programming. Been doing it for a long time. Can’t help build projects in your spare time.

✅ You LOVE Ruby on Rails. Yeah, it’s not the most popular thing out there, but it fits your brain like a hand in a glove. Custom DSLs, ultra-flexible, great library. It just makes you happy.

✅ And Javascript. React, React Native, Svelte, Stimulus, and of course plain vanilla JS. So cool what you can do & how elegantly
