Rugiet
Job description
About Rugiet
Rugiet is a high-growth, innovative telemedicine company pioneering patented solutions in the men's health space. We are dedicated to delivering accessible, effective, and patient-centric healthcare. As we continue to expand our suite of products and market presence, we rely on data-driven strategy and compelling messaging to connect patients with our life-changing solutions.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who leads with problem-solving and systems thinking before reaching for tools. You'll design and ship reliable software across our web and mobile platforms โ Ruby on Rails on the backend, React on the web, and React Native on mobile โ while keeping a steady eye on platform stability and the quality of the patient and provider experience.
The ideal candidate has 6+ years of hands-on experience with these technologies, deep instincts for application architecture and data modeling, and a methodical approach to building and shipping production software.
You'll also help shape how we build: applying AI-driven development practices to ship faster, raise code quality, and increase what a small, high-leverage engineering team can deliver.
What You'll Do
Engineering
-
Build and maintain Ruby on Rails APIs, background jobs, data models, caching layers, and performance optimizations.
-
Develop and ship React (web) and React Native (mobile) features with attention to accessibility, state management, and speed.
-
Own end-to-end mobile feature work โ from feature flagging and OTA updates to native release coordination through the App Store and Google Play.
-
Influence architecture and data modeling decisions; advocate for reliable, observable, and maintainable solutions.
-
Uphold code integrity through testing, code review, refactoring, monitoring, and clear documentation.
-
Improve platform stability and performance proactively โ indexing, caching, job throughput, and UX wins.
AI-Driven Development
-
Use AI-assisted development tools (modern AI IDEs, coding assistants, chat-based AI) to accelerate feature work, refactors, framework upgrades, test generation, and code review.
-
Build lightweight automations (GitHub Actions, repository bots, internal scripts, ChatOps) that compound in value over time.
-
Establish and evolve team practices for getting the most out of AI tooling โ what works, what doesn't, and how we measure it.
-
Look for opportunities to apply AI to internal workflows and developer productivity, not just product features.
Day-to-Day
-
Ship features end-to-end across backend, web, and mobile.
-
Participate in stand-ups and post async updates that are legible to non-engineers.
-
Pair with PMs and design on scoping; communicate timelines and trade-offs transparently.
-
Conduct thorough code reviews and contribute to a high-trust engineering culture.
-
Diagnose and resolve production issues when they arise; participate in on-call rotations as needed.
Required Qualifications
-
6+ years building web applications with Ruby on Rails and React.
-
Production experience building and shipping mobile features with React Native.
-
Strong React fundamentals: hooks, component architecture, state management, and testing (Jest/RTL).
-
Strong relational database skills (PostgreSQL preferred): indexing, query optimization, migrations, and data integrity.
-
Comfortable with modern Git workflows, CI/CD, and shipping well-tested code.
-
Excellent written communication โ able to translate technical detail into clear updates for non-engineers.
-
Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools into your development workflow to improve speed, quality, or reach.
Nice to Have
-
Experience deploying and operating apps on Vercel, AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch), or similar cloud and edge platforms.
-
Familiarity with containerization and modern CI/CD pipelines.
-
Experience with mobile release workflows: App Store Connect, Google Play Console, EAS, OTA updates.
-
Background in telehealth or other regulated industries โ comfort with secure data handling and HIPAA.
How You Work
-
Clarify requirements, assess constraints, and weigh trade-offs before choosing tools.
-
Prefer simple, observable solutions; ship incrementally.
-
Take ownership โ sweat the details, leave systems better than you found them, and follow through after release.
-
Lean on automation. Turn playbooks into scripts. Turn scripts into systems.
-
Treat AI as a power tool, not a crutch โ use it to compound your judgment, not replace it.
To Apply
- If you are excited by the opportunity to make a significant impact on a growing healthcare company by organizing and optimizing our creative output, please submit your resume and a cover letter detailing your relevant experience and why you are a great fit for this role.
