About the Role
We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Tasker & Supply team, instrumental in shaping the experience of the taskers who power our marketplace. Your work will focus on onboarding, category/skill eligibility, and marketplace matching through our Ruby on Rails engine architecture, as well as critical work moving our service contracts toward strongly-typed TypeScript bindings.
Responsibilities
- Architect the multi-quarter technical roadmap for Tasker & Supply (onboarding, category eligibility, geography, matching).
- Drive strategy, tackle tech debt, and evolve our engine boundaries, gateway contracts, and data models.
- Lead complex, cross-team initiatives around marketplace liquidity and supply-demand matching.
- Turn ambiguous, high-stakes business goals into clear technical strategies, designs, and experiments.
- Improve reliability and observability (Datadog, Kafka) for onboarding, matching, and supply-side systems.
- Own production debugging and push for systemic fixes.
- Be the go-to Ruby/Sorbet expert.
- Champion good testing and AI practices, mentor other engineers, and write documentation.
- Lead adoption of Spec-Driven Development with AI tools.
- Help move service integrations toward strongly-typed TypeScript contracts.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of leading complex work and influencing multiple teams.
- Strong background in Ruby on Rails and typed Ruby (Sorbet).
- Working knowledge of TypeScript, especially contract-driven type generation.
- Solid SQL and data modeling skills (MySQL).
- Hands-on experience with async/event-driven systems (Kafka) and service or engine-boundary architecture.
- A track record of building and owning observability and alerting for critical systems.
- Strong communication skills.
- Ability to influence without authority.
- Real ownership over systems that affect marketplace supply and tasker trust.
- Experience with Spec Driven Development (Bonus).
- Hands-on experience with AI tools (Bonus).
- Experience replatforming legacy monolith code into cleanly-bounded engines (Bonus).
- Experience moving a typed backend toward TypeScript-bound contracts (Bonus).
