About Hubstaff

Hubstaff helps remote teams work smarter with industry-leading workforce analytics, time tracking, scheduling, and payroll automation software used by 140,000+ users globally.

We’ve been fully remote for over a decade and believe remote work is one of the biggest shifts in modern work. We’re profitable, product-led, and building for the long term.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Rails Full-Stack Developer to join our Growth team — a fast-moving engineering group focused on experimentation, user experience, and business impact.

This isn’t a traditional feature factory role. Growth engineers at Hubstaff are deeply involved in ideation, experimentation, analytics, and outcomes — not just implementation.

We’re looking for engineers who are driven by outcomes over output and who thrive in environments where speed, learning, and ownership matter. Success in this role means thinking beyond tickets and contributing to the full lifecycle of experiments: ideation, implementation, measurement, iteration, and learnings.

You’ll work closely with Product, Design, Data, and Marketing to launch experiments quickly, learn fast, and improve conversion, activation, retention, and customer experience across the platform.

What You’ll Do
  • Build and scale features using Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, Tailwind, and modern frontend tooling

  • Launch rapid growth experiments with ultra-fast turnaround times

  • Own projects and experiments from idea to outcome — not just delivery

  • Scope-cut strategically to maximize learning velocity and business impact

  • Work with tools like Statsig, Segment, Metabase, and Customer.io

  • Analyze metrics, events, experiment results, and user behavior to guide decisions

  • Balance technical quality with experimentation speed

  • Improve performance, reliability, and UX across the platform

  • Collaborate asynchronously with a high-performing remote team

What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years building production web applications

  • Strong Ruby on Rails experience

  • Strong frontend experience with Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus + Tailwind

  • Experience with React, Vue, or similar modern JS frameworks

  • Product-minded engineer with strong ownership mentality

  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, experimentation-heavy environments

  • Strong understanding of metrics, event tracking, experimentation, and data-informed decision-making

  • Ability to think through tradeoffs, risks, and business impact — not just technical implementation

  • Bias toward action with a “ship, learn, iterate” mindset

  • Experience working remotely and asynchronously

  • Stable work history with multi-year tenure preferred

Nice to Have
  • Experience with Statsig, Segment, Metabase, or Customer.io

  • Experience scaling SaaS platforms

  • Background in growth/product experimentation

  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP

Location

Hiring in: Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Romania, Spain, Portugal

Compensation
  • $45–60 USD/hour

  • ~40 hours/week

  • Long-term contractor role

Why You'll Love Working With Us
  • A fully remote company with a strong async-first culture

  • High ownership, low bureaucracy environment where engineers have real product impact

  • Fast-moving Growth team focused on experimentation, learning, and outcomes

  • Opportunity to work closely with Product, Data, Design, and Marketing on initiatives that directly influence business growth

  • Autonomy to move quickly, test ideas, and shape solutions beyond implementation

  • Long-term product and engineering focus with meaningful technical challenges

  • Competitive compensation for top talent

Hubstaff is proud to be an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive and diverse team.

Skills Required

  • 7+ years of professional backend development experience
  • 5+ years building and maintaining production Rails applications
  • Proven track record designing systems for scale, performance, and reliability
  • Strong database skills with PostgreSQL or MySQL
  • Experience with background job frameworks (Sidekiq, Resque)
  • Solid understanding of modern architectural patterns
  • Working knowledge of modern JavaScript (React, Vue, or similar)
  • Experience working asynchronously in fully remote teams
  • Multi-year tenure in recent roles
  • Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms
  • Performance tuning in high-traffic applications
