Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails)

Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. Small business owners and physicians make up a large share of the client list. Quarter-end is busy, and everyone helps with client review prep.

• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers

• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ
