Job description
Expected compensation: 175,000.00 - 200,000.00 USD Per Year
HireArt is a modern staffing platform for companies to source, employ, and manage contract workers. Our goal is to bring a turnkey, full-stack software and service experience to an industry that is dominated by manual, cumbersome processes. We’re a ~75-person company with an experienced engineering team and a product that serves real customers every day. Our typical customers are fast growing tech companies, such as those building autonomous vehicles and LLMs.
We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Feature Team as we scale delivery capacity across our core platform. This role is for an experienced senior engineer; someone who can learn business context, collaborate with the product team, own a feature end-to-end, and raise the effectiveness of their team.
About The Role
You’ll work on HireArt’s core staffing application - a large, modular Rails codebase with real production constraints. Work typically arrives as loosely defined problem statements. Senior engineers help bring context to those problems, shape solutions, clarify tradeoffs, and deliver changes that are easy for the next engineer to build on. You’ll sometimes lead initiatives, sometimes follow another senior engineer’s direction, and always be expected to communicate clearly, push back thoughtfully, and keep delivery moving.
What You'll Do
Own large product features end-to-end, from shaping the approach through delivery
Break down ambiguous problems into clear technical changes
Work closely with product partners to clarify requirements and push back on scope
Communicate clearly and often with teammates and manager regarding expectations for delivery
Review code with an eye toward maintainability, not just correctness
Write and maintain automated tests as a first-class responsibility
Improve legacy areas of the codebase incrementally and pragmatically
Use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) to increase throughput while remaining fully accountable for the code you ship
Our Tech Stack
Backend: Ruby on Rails 8.1
Frontend: React 18.3 (with some Stimulus / Turbo)
Datastores: PostgreSQL, Redis
Infrastructure: Heroku
CI/CD: GitHub Actions
Architecture: Modular monolith, engineers work across the stack
What "Senior" Means at HireArt
A Senior Engineer Here Is Trusted To
Own projects end-to-end
Coordinate with teammates contributing to the same epic
Make tradeoffs without perfect information
Improve team velocity, not just personal output
Senior engineers are not expected to operate on autopilot or wait to be told exactly what to do. Compared to a mid-level engineer, seniors proactively improve how work gets done. Compared to a staff engineer, seniors do less explicit culture reinforcement and organizational shaping.
On-call and Production Ownership
On-call is very limited
A dedicated on-call engineer escalates to the feature team ~10% of the time
Expected involvement in debugging production issues is low
Expectations around testing and code quality are high
Requirements
Significant, real-world Ruby on Rails experience
Experience owning large features end-to-end in a product organization
Strong practice of writing and maintaining automated tests
Comfortable working closely with product managers and stakeholders
Proven ability to work with remote teams while staying highly communicative and proactive
8–10 years of professional experience, or equivalent depth through impact
Nice-to-Have Experience
Leading work involving Stimulus / Turbo
Experience in entrepreneurial or early-stage environments
Strong end-to-end (E2E) testing practicesERP‑style data modeling or complex domain modeling
Staffing, HR, or marketplace domain experience
Interview Process
Candidates Can Expect To
Read and discuss a small Rails application
