*Requirements*
- 2+ years of experience developing production-level Ruby on Rails applications.
- Proficiency in front-end development, including experience with Bootstrap, Tailwind, or other frameworks.
- Passion for AI, with experience integrating AI frameworks or tools into applications.
- Strong English communication skills (spoken and written).
- Ability to work independently and proactively suggest improvements.

*Nice to Have*
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Redis, and database optimization.
- Experience with SaaS development and scaling.
- Knowledge of implementing TDD, analytics, A/B testing, feature flagging, or SEO best practices.
- Interest in knowledge base or help desk software.
