Ruby on Rails Team Lead Location: Remote (NI ) Permanent Competitive salary + equity options available Contact: Ryan Quinn on Linked IN OCHO - Building Teams The Company Join a global software business with over 300 staff across 9 countries, building beautifully engineered platforms used by some of the world's most recognisable brands.

Their product suite powers scheduling, communication, and team coordination at scale - simplifying operations and boosting engagement across industries.

They're scaling one of their core engineering teams and looking for a hands-on Ruby on Rails leader to take the reins.

The Role This isn't a "steer-from-the-sidelines" kind of job.

You'll lead a small, high-performing team while remaining technically sharp - delivering production code, mentoring engineers, and guiding product direction.

The role offers the chance to work on greenfield architecture, while also evolving and optimising an existing, revenue-generating platform.

You'll shape both technical strategy and team culture - making this ideal for someone ready to step fully into technical leadership without losing touch with the codebase.

Tech Stack & Tooling Backend: Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq, Devise, Twilio, Postgre SQL Frontend: Stimulus JS, ES6, CSS3, Hotwire/Turbolinks Dev Ops: AWS (including Lambda), CI/CD, Git Hub APIs: RESTful services, third-party integrations Tooling: Git, JIRA or Search: Elasticsearch Testing: RSpec, Capybara (and other modern tools) What You'll Do Lead a cross-functional engineering team, setting direction and supporting growth Write clean, maintainable Ruby code and contribute to backend architecture Build and refine frontend components for web and mobile interfaces Improve the robustness of Dev Ops pipelines and cloud deployments Own product quality through code reviews, testing practices, and validation Collaborate with Product, Design, and Ops to ensure delivery stays aligned and focused Coach and mentor junior engineers; be the calm, strategic voice in the room What You'll Bring Deep experience with Ruby on Rails in production systems Confidence in building, scaling, and securing RESTful APIs Frontend awareness: you've worked with modern JS, and responsive design Proven experience leading engineering teams and building alignment across functions An eye for code quality, with experience in testing and Dev Ops environments Ideally: experience with AWS Lambda, Elasticsearch, or similar Why Now? You'll be joining at a pivotal growth point - with greenfield projects to own, real autonomy, and the backing of an established engineering culture.

Whether you're a current tech lead or a senior engineer ready to step up, this is a meaningful leadership opportunity in a high-impact environment.
