Overview: Our DISH Technology team challenges the status quo and reimagines capabilities across industries. Whether through research and development, technology innovation or solution engineering, our team members play vital roles in connecting consumers with the products and platforms of tomorrow. Responsibilities: Looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails developer to own and evolve our core streaming middleware platform in Rails today, while driving a Golang-based re-architecture for tomorrow. This service powers high-traffic client applications while ingesting and processing vast, varied data streams. You'll shape its architecture-both in Rails and Go-to ensure it remains performant, reliable and easy to extend. On a daily basis, you'll convert complex ingestion requirements into clean, maintainable Rails code, abstracting diverse data types into scalable, observable services with thorough documentation-and collaborate on or build new performance-critical components in Go. You'll also mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming and architectural discussions, and communicate design decisions clearly to both technical teams and executives. The ideal candidate brings at least five years of hands-on Rails experience, a commitment to code excellence, and practical exposure to Go for service re-architecture. You stay current with industry trends, embrace new tools and best practices, and thrive in a collaborative environment. If you're ready to drive innovation in streaming technology and help grow our engineering talent, we'd love to hear from you. Key Responsibilities: * Maintain and enhance a legacy Ruby on Rails API-only codebase, while modernizing workflows and processes for greater efficiency. * Design and implement new endpoints and queries-and update existing ones-to meet evolving client system requirements. * Lead the rearchitecture of the platform into Golang-based microservices: define clear service boundaries, APIs, and interactions to boost scalability, resiliency, observability, and maintainability. * Author comprehensive technical documentation and conduct knowledge-transfer sessions to upskill the team. * Collaborate closely with executives, product owners, architects, and engineers to drive feature implementation and align on technical vision. * Innovate solutions that address limitations of existing open source or commercial tools, ensuring best-in-class outcomes. * Champion open source contributions and foster a culture of knowledge sharing across the engineering organization. * Leverage solid experience in CI/CD pipelines, RESTful API design, and SRE best practices to ensure reliable, repeatable deployments. * Apply strong analytical, diagnostic, and problem-solving skills to independently develop solutions and effectively partner with team members. * Demonstrate excellent interpersonal, presentation, and whiteboarding abilities to communicate complex ideas clearly. Qualifications: Qualifications & Experience * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Mathematics, or equivalent technical education/experience * 5+ years of professional Ruby on Rails development * 5+ years of BDD/TDD practice using RSpec, Capybara, and Minitest * 3+ years building RESTful APIs in Go, with hands-on use of Gorilla/Mux, Gin, Echo, and go-kit * Proficiency in Go concurrency (goroutines, channels, select) and memory-management techniques * 5+ years working with NoSQL databases (Elasticsearch, MongoDB, AWS Keyspaces, or equivalent) * 5+ years implementing in-memory caching solutions (Redis, Memcached) * 5+ years engineering cloud-native solutions in AWS or equivalent environments * 5+ years with data-stream platforms (Apache/Confluent Kafka, InfluxDB, etc.) * 5+ years collaborating in Agile/Scrum teams * 5+ years automating development workflows using Bash, Ruby, and Python scripts Good-to-Have Skills * Designing high-level architectures with AWS services (Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, EC2, ElastiCache) on Linux * Extensive hands-on experience with Elasticsearch or other NoSQL big-data solutions * Proficiency with Docker containerization and orchestration * Deep understanding of Ruby on Rails design patterns and their evolution * Building Rails API applications that integrate multiple data stores * Scaling Ruby on Rails APIs through refactoring, re-architecture, and query optimization * Extracting and analyzing metrics/logs from Dynatrace, Grafana, CloudWatch, etc., to drive product improvements * Applying OOP design patterns to modernize legacy codebases for maintainability and scalability * Writing well-encapsulated test suites using RSpec * Condensing complex, distributed service-based architectures into cohesive, maintainable "majestic monoliths" Candidates must be willing to participate in at least one in-person on-site interview.
