Principal Full-Stack Rails & DevOps Engineer

This profile is ideal for early-stage startups that have achieved product/market fit and are looking to scale both their product and team. The individual excels at navigating the inflection point where an MVP needs to scale, focusing on improving application performance, adding features, fixing bugs, and growing engineering and supporting teams. They have a proven track record of growing teams from 3 to 100+, scaling performance to 100x the load, and designing/building features iteratively and agilely to minimize time-to-delivery while maximizing flexibility. With over 20 years of experience as a full-stack web application developer, primarily in the Rails ecosystem since its inception, they are comfortable across the entire app stack from CSS to SQL. They possess the judgment to know when to implement quick solutions versus architecting scalable foundations for long-term stability.
