You will:

  • Lead, mentor, and support engineers through regular 1:1s and feedback sessions, fostering both professional and personal growth
  • Drive hiring efforts by conducting technical interviews, making hiring decisions, and onboarding new team members
  • Act as a technical sparring partner within the engineering team through code reviews and pair programming
  • Contribute to architectural decisions that shape the future of the Acture platform
  • Design, build, and ship new features across both backend and frontend
  • Collaborate closely with the VP Engineering to define features and enhance user experience
  • Ensure high-quality releases through testing and QA
  • Work with a modern tech stack including Ruby on Rails, RSpec, Capybara, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS
  • Maintain and improve a clean, efficient, and sustainable codebase

You’re a seasoned engineer who enjoys both writing great code and helping others grow.

  • At least 6 years of experience in software engineering, ideally at Staff Engineer level
  • Strong full-stack expertise in Ruby on Rails
  • Bachelor-level thinking and working ability
  • Solid understanding of relational databases (preferably PostgreSQL), MVC frameworks, and TDD
  • Experience with REST APIs, HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies
  • Proven leadership experience—formal or informal (mentoring, onboarding, technical guidance)
  • Passion for clean, maintainable code and thorough testing practices
  • Strong communication skills and fluency in English (C1+)

At Acture, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact—both on the product and the people around you.

  • A leadership role with real influence on technical direction and team culture
  • A balance between hands-on engineering and mentoring
  • A collaborative environment where your ideas shape the product and user experience
  • A modern tech stack and a strong focus on code quality
  • Opportunities for continuous learning, growth, and career development
