Ruby on Rails Developer

Want to work on a greenfield platform for genome sequencing?

• Multiple Roles - Fully Remote within in Australia
• MedTech | Paying up to $180K + Super
• Mature team that values autonomy

This is a fresh product, a new team of ~6 engineers (scaling), and a rare opportunity to help shape the foundations of a deeply technical MedTech platform from day one. The work sits at the intersection of biochemistry, genetics, and complex software systems, with an emphasis on craftsmanship, clarity, and long-term quality.

If you enjoy problems that most engineers avoid - you’ll feel at home here.

All roles are full-time and fully remote within Australia.

The Role

We’re looking for pragmatic generalist Rubyists. The product demands engineers who can think broadly, collaborate deeply, and take ownership.

Within that, we’re looking to balance the team with different strengths for different roles:

• Strong full-stack generalists
• Some engineers who lean towards infrastructure and performance
• Some engineers who enjoy low-level programming and solving extremely complex problemsWhat You’ll Work On

• A greenfield Ruby on Rails platform built from scratch
• Complex genome sequencing workflows and scientific logic
• Highly intricate UI/UX and data-heavy user flows
• Performance-sensitive systems and background job orchestration
• Architecture and foundations that will support the platform for years

There is no legacy code, no shortcuts, and no “just ship it” mentality.

What We Look For in Everyone

• Strong Ruby on Rails experience
• Thoughtful, clear communication (written and verbal)
• Calm, considered approach to complex problems
• No ego, no theatrics, no shortcuts
• Comfortable in a mature, high-trust environment

Tech Stack

• Ruby on Rails
• TailwindCSS
• Hotwire / Stimulus
• Postgres
• Background job systems
• Performance-sensitive workflows
• Highly complex FE and data flows

Why Join Us

This is not a typical corporate engineering role.

You’ll be joining a craftsmanship-first MedTech team building software that is used in real scientific environments. The problems are deep, the impact is real, and the expectations are high - but so is the trust.

• Greenfield product with real complexity
• Genome sequencing and scientific workflows
• Remote-first, Australia-wide
• Calm, ego-free, senior culture
• Engineers trusted to think, not just deliver tickets
• Career-defining technical problemsApply Now
