Role

Who you are

You have 5–10+ years of experience building and scaling production Rails applications
Rails has no secrets for you : you know how to ship quickly and safely
You are pragmatic: you make thoughtful trade-offs that maximize user value and iteration speed
You naturally take ownership and thrive in high-velocity environments
You have recent, hands-on experience with LLMs and already use AI in your day-to-day workflow
You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity, experimenting, and working with non-deterministic systems
You can contribute across the stack when needed (backend-first, but not backend-only)
You deeply care about product quality, speed, and delivering a great user experience

What the job involves

This is a foundational role
You will be joining Yuma as one of the core engineers on a tight, high-performing team of 5
We move fast, iterate aggressively, and care deeply about product quality and user value
Over the past two years, we’ve built an impressive amount of product surface area, AI systems, and automation
Yet what lies ahead is even bigger
As we scale our platform, models, and AI agents, your work will have a direct and immediate impact on the experience of thousands of users
This role goes far beyond classical backend development
You will work across the full product lifecycle: new features, A/B tests, model integrations, AI agent pipelines, and performance optimization
If you enjoy working at the intersection of backend engineering, product iteration, and applied AI, you will thrive here
Architect, build, and scale large Ruby on Rails applications
Own major systems within our Rails API, including performance, reliability, and maintainability
Manage PostgreSQL at scale: schema design, indexing, performance diagnostics
Maintain and optimize Redis + Sidekiq pipelines for high-throughput workloads
Lead backend-heavy feature projects, from design to deployment
Integrate, evaluate, and iterate on LLM providers and models
Design systems that manage non-deterministic model outputs safely and predictably
Build and own A/B tests, eval pipelines, and agentic workflows
Optimize for latency, reliability, and cost across LLM-heavy features
Contribute directly to prompts, agents, and AI system architecture
Collaborate tightly with founders and engineers to define product requirements
Jump into frontend (Next.js/React) when needed to ship features end-to-end
Run rapid product iterations: fast feedback loops, experimentation, data-driven decisions
Maintain a high bar for product quality while optimizing for speed of execution
