(Hybrid Available)

Type
: Full-time / Contract

Salary
: Competitive, based on experience

We're seeking a highly motivated software engineer with a strong foundation in Ruby on Rails who is passionate about AI. You'll work closely with our small but growing team to build, experiment with, and deploy AI agents using tools like RubyLLM, ruby-openai, and various AI SDKs. This is a hands-on role for builders — ideal for someone who's played with AI in personal projects and now wants to do it professionally.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain AI-first applications and agent workflows using Ruby on Rails
  • Integrate with APIs, vector databases, and retrieval systems (e.g., Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate)
  • Experiment with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and evaluate tools for agentic architecture
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on AI solutions for client projects and internal product ideas
  • Contribute to technical design and architecture discussions
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in AI tooling and apply them practically

Skills & Experience

Required:

  • Proficiency in Ruby on Rails (Rails 6+ preferred)
  • Experience working with , ruby-openai, or similar Ruby AI libraries
  • Familiarity with LLMs and prompt engineering
  • Experience building side projects, bots, or AI experiments outside of work
  • Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON, background job processing (Sidekiq/Resque/solid_queue)

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with Postgresql, vector databases and embeddings via Ruby clients
  • Exposure to OpenAI Assistants API, Claude, or Gemini through Ruby gems
  • Frontend experience with Hotwire/Turbo or React integration with Rails
  • Knowledge of Rails deployment, caching strategies, and WebSocket implementations
  • Familiarity with AI safety, limitations of LLMs, and prompt debugging

What We're Looking For

  • You're a builder who learns by doing
  • You're not afraid to dive into the unknown and try new tools
  • You understand that AI isn't magic — you're pragmatic about what it can and can't do
  • You're collaborative, thoughtful, and open to evolving processes

Why Join Us?

We're an AI services and solutions agency focused on preparing businesses for an AGI-augmented future. Our clients span across industries, and every project brings a new challenge. You'll work directly with founders and decision-makers, delivering real-world impact — not just research projects. We value curiosity, autonomy, and speed.
