Job Description
### Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer
We are looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to help us build reliable, scalable products and apply AI/LLM technologies where they create real value.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can own complex features end to end, make strong technical decisions, and work across backend architecture, production systems, testing, and AI-assisted product development.
You should be excited about AI, but pragmatic enough to know when a simple, deterministic solution is better than an LLM call.
* * *
### What you’ll be working on:
* Owning features from technical design to production
* Building and maintaining Ruby on Rails systems used at scale
* Designing AI/LLM-assisted features and workflows where they improve product quality or user experience
* Working with LLM APIs, prompts, retrieval/context strategies, and AI-assisted development tools
* Making trade-offs around performance, reliability, cost, latency, security, and maintainability
* Writing and maintaining automated tests, including unit, integration, and E2E tests
* Debugging production issues and improving system reliability
* * *
### What we’re looking for:
### To succeed in this role, you’ll have:
* Strong professional experience with Ruby on Rails, ideally at senior level
* Experience building and running production systems used by real customers
* Strong backend skills, including databases, API design, performance, background jobs, and security;
* Ability to break down ambiguous problems and propose practical technical solutions
* Hands-on interest or experience with AI/LLM technologies,
* Good judgment about when to use AI and when simpler engineering approaches are better
* Strong testing habits and care for long-term code quality
* A responsible, curious, flexible mindset: willing to debug, deploy, investigate, learn, and own outcomes
### Nice to have:
* Experience with React
* CI/CD, background jobs, or AWS experience
* Experience building AI-powered product features in production
* Familiarity with embeddings, vector search, RAG, evals, or LLM observability
* Experience with text-processing, localization, translation, or multilingual products
* * *
### Why Join OTGS?
* Stable & self-funded: Founded in 2007, profitable, and independent.
* Industry leaders: Creators of WPML, the #1 multilingual plugin for WordPress, used on 1.5M+ sites
* Fully remote, async-friendly: Work from anywhere within EMEA hours
* Engineering-driven culture: Ownership, autonomy, testing, and thoughtful problem-solving
* Fair compensation and great benefits: Designed to support your well-being both inside and outside of work.
Want to make a lasting impact on a product used by thousands of real customers? We would love to hear from you.
