OCHO - Building Teams
The Company
Join a global software business with over 300 staff across 9 countries, building beautifully engineered platforms used by some of the world's most recognisable brands. Their product suite powers scheduling, communication, and team coordination at scale - simplifying operations and boosting engagement across industries.
They're scaling one of their core engineering teams and looking for a hands-on Ruby on Rails leader to take the reins.
The Role
This isn't a "steer-from-the-side-lines" kind of job. You'll lead a small, high-performing team while remaining technically sharp - delivering production code, mentoring engineers, and guiding product direction. The role offers the chance to work on greenfield architecture, while also evolving and optimising an existing, revenue-generating platform.
You'll shape both technical strategy and team culture - making this ideal for someone ready to step fully into technical leadership without losing touch with the codebase.
Tech Stack & Tooling
* Backend: Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq, Devise, Twilio, PostgreSQL
* Frontend: Stimulus JS, ES6, CSS3, Hotwire/Turbolinks
* DevOps: AWS (including Lambda), CI/CD, GitHub
* APIs: RESTful services, third-party integrations
* Tooling: Git, JIRA or
* Search: Elasticsearch
* Testing: RSpec, Capybara (and other modern tools)
What You'll Do
* Lead a cross-functional engineering team, setting direction and supporting growth
* Write clean, maintainable Ruby code and contribute to backend architecture
* Build and refine frontend components for web and mobile interfaces
* Improve the robustness of DevOps pipelines and cloud deployments
* Own product quality through code reviews, testing practices, and validation
* Collaborate with Product, Design, and Ops to ensure delivery stays aligned and focused
* Coach and mentor junior engineers; be the calm, strategic voice in the room
What You'll Bring
* Deep experience with Ruby on Rails in production systems
* Confidence in building, scaling, and securing RESTful APIs
* Frontend awareness: you've worked with modern JS, and responsive design
* Proven experience leading engineering teams and building alignment across functions
* An eye for code quality, with experience in testing and DevOps environments
* Ideally: experience with AWS Lambda, Elasticsearch, or similar
Why Now?
You'll be joining at a pivotal growth point - with greenfield projects to own, real autonomy, and the backing of an established engineering culture. Whether you're a current tech lead or a senior engineer ready to step up, this is a meaningful leadership opportunity in a high-impact environment.
