Senior Developer - Backend Foundations

Summary

Join Jane, a remote-first company, and become a Senior Software Developer on the Backend Foundations team. Lead the transformation of our core Rails monolith into a modular, scalable platform, leveraging your deep experience with Ruby on Rails and refactoring large legacy codebases. You will evolve our platform offerings, mentor teammates, and collaborate across product development teams.

The role offers a competitive salary range and comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

• You have deep experience with Ruby on Rails, especially in large, legacy codebases, and you know how to refactor toward clearer structure — whether that’s Rails Engines or service boundaries
• You’ve built internal platforms or frameworks that other developers rely on, and you enjoy enabling others as much as building features yourself
• You’re comfortable with CI/CD and observability tooling like GitHub Actions and Datadog, and you use metrics to guide improvement
• You work well in cross-functional teams, aligning with Staff+ ICs, PMs, and infra engineers to make good architectural decisions

Responsibilities

• Lead the transformation of our core Rails monolith into a modular, scalable platform
• Help evolve our platform offerings to enable value stream teams to launch on a new Kubernetes-based internal platform
• Work with the BF team to shape the future of our internal backend services, mentor teammates, and collaborate across many product development teams to drive adoption of our service offerings and best practices
• Help evolve Jane’s core application into a cleaner, more modular system that’s easier to build on and safer to change
• Support product teams by making it easier to launch new services and features on our internal platform
• Improve the experience for developers across Jane by reducing complexity and strengthening our backend foundations
• Mentor teammates and contribute to a culture of thoughtful, collaborative engineering
• Play a key role in helping Jane grow into new markets by making our platform more adaptable and scalable

Preferred Qualifications

• You’ve worked with tools like Sidekiq, AnyCable, or event-driven architectures
• You’re familiar with Kubernetes, Helm, and cloud-native service deployment — especially in the context of platform or enablement work

Benefits

• This role has a minimum annual salary of $123,600 and maximum annual salary of $193,000
• Remote work, flexible hours
