Remote Backend Jobs

We're hiring experienced Ruby on Rails developers to work directly with our CTO, shaping the architecture, the culture, and the future of engineering at TeamFeePay.

To give you a real sense of the work: most of our clubs are run by volunteers — parents and coaches giving up their evenings and weekends. We've built a system that lets a club treasurer set up payment collection for hundreds of families across multiple age groups in minutes, replacing what used to be weeks of spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages, and awkward conversations at the sideline. That's the kind of problem you'd own here. Other things on the horizon include transforming our club onboarding into a streamlined self-service experience, building smarter automation that takes even more admin off volunteers' plates, and rearchitecting core systems to handle rapid international growth.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship, end to end. You'll own features from concept through to production — designing, coding, and deploying clean, maintainable Rails code that delivers real value to clubs and their members.
• Scale a platform under real pressure. As more clubs join globally, you'll solve the hard problems: performance at scale, data integrity, robust payment processing, and keeping everything rock-solid as traffic grows.
• Shape the technical direction. This isn't a ticket factory. You'll contribute to architectural decisions, influence our tech stack, and set the engineering standards that future hires will follow.
• Work with AI as a force multiplier — seriously. This isn't a line we put in the job ad because it's trendy. We expect our developers to use AI tools as a core part of how they work, and we'll ask you about it. Specifically, we're looking for engineers who:

• Use agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or similar to plan, build, test, and ship features — not just autocomplete
• Can direct AI agents through multi-step workflows: breaking down requirements, generating code, writing and running tests, debugging, and iterating to production-ready output
• Leverage AI for code reviews, refactoring, test generation, and exploring architectural trade-offs
• Think critically about AI output — you know when to trust it, when to push back, and when to take a different approach entirely
• Are excited about building internal tooling and workflows that make AI-assisted development even more effective across the team

As part of our process, we'll ask you to walk us through how you'd use AI tools to ship a feature end-to-end. We want to see your thinking, not just your prompts.

Raise the bar for the team. Mentor junior developers, champion best practices, and help us build an engineering culture rooted in continuous learning and pragmatic excellence

What we’re looking for

• At least 2 years building and maintaining large-scale Rails applications and SaaS products
• 2+ years of web application development experience
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience using AI coding tools in your daily workflow — we're looking for people who've moved beyond experimentation into genuine productivity gains
• Strong problem-solving instincts and the ability to navigate ambiguity
• Clear, effective communication — you can explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Self-motivated, ownership-driven, and comfortable working autonomously in a remote team

Nice to have

• Experience with Hotwire, Stimulus, and Turbo
• Familiarity with payment processing systems (Stripe, Adyen, GoCardless, or similar)
• Experience with deployment tooling like Kamal, Docker, or Heroku pipelines
• Background in building multi-tenant SaaS platforms
• Interest in sports (not required, but you'll find yourself caring about club management more than you expected)
