Zipline is a well-funded and quickly growing SaaS company that works with many of the world’s top retailers across many industries. We have best-in-class NPS and CSAT scores, and our customers rave about us. Plus, we are a fully remote company with employees all over Canada, the United States and beyond!

We’re looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to join our team as the surface area of our product and infrastructure continues to scale with rapid customer growth. This is a great opportunity for someone excited about shaping robust systems—and contributing to AI-powered initiatives such as automatic content creation.

Here are some projects we're excited for you to work on:

• Defining and improving useful APIs for our customers
• Design, develop, and maintain robust and scalable features for our web-based applications
• Maintain and enhance existing features, adapting them for an evolving market
• Evangelize coding, testing and performance best practices with the rest of the team
• Collaborate with our product, design and customer success teams on new features that customers will love

What we look for:

• You have significant relevant production experience with large scale Ruby on Rails applications
• You have great written and verbal communication skills.
• You prefer taking projects from inception to completion and are outcome-oriented.
• You have a strong understanding of systems architecture, database design, and the ruby language.
• You are proactive with communication and have no problem managing your time as a remote employee.
• You are proud of your craft, and enjoy and value clean code that scales to keep large teams productive.
• Bonus: You have an interest in—or experience with—AI/ML technologies, especially in content generation or data structuring.

Technologies you'll work with:

• Ruby on Rails
• Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch
• Typescript, JavaScript, React, Webpack
• AWS, Heroku, Ansible, Digital Ocean
• Github, Slack, Basecamp, Google Drive, JIRA

What’s in it for you:

• Remote-first culture: Join a high performing, fully remote team and work where you're comfortable
• Stock Options: Get meaningful ownership in a fast-growing, venture-backed company shaping the future of retail.
• Time off: We believe rest fuels great work. Our flexible time-off policy gives you the freedom to take the breaks you need, when you need them—whether it's a long weekend or a well-deserved vacation. We’ll also give you a monthly coffee-shop stipend to switch up your workspace and get inspired outside the office. And when you’ve been with us for five years? You’ll earn a fully paid one-month sabbatical to truly unplug and reflect—we call it a thank-you for your impact and dedication.
• Benefits: World-class medical, dental, and vision policies.
• Team Connection: Annual company off-sites in fun locations. We've done New York, Costa Rica, Whistler, Palm Springs, San Diego, and Mexico City.
• Volunteering:  Every quarter, Zipliners get a paid day off to volunteer for a nonprofit of their choice.
• Learning: We support continuous learning and provide unlimited access to our Udemy Business account
• Great humans, great work: Work with kind, collaborative teammates who care about doing meaningful work and making a real impact.  We value diversity of all kinds and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where we learn from each other. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of all different backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives.

Want to learn more about how we work?

We may be remote, but we’re anything but disconnected. Zipline is a thriving, dynamic team spread across the globe—collaborating, innovating, and having a blast along the way.

Zipliners work from all over—vans, boats, Airbnbs, and everything in between. No office? No problem. Our culture still feels like one big hug.

Even though we’re distributed, we make space to connect—whether it’s our weekly all-company social or gathering in person at our yearly retreats. We’re building something meaningful together, and we’re glad you’re considering being a part of it.
We can’t wait to meet you!
