Job Description

Do you enjoy building scalable, reliable applications and seeing your work directly impact users?

We’re hiring a Ruby on Rails Developer who thrives on clean code, performance, and collaboration. You’ll join a small, hands-on engineering group within a growing organization. The setup is hybrid, with a few days per week on-site expected.


About the company

Our client builds B2B software products. The engineering team is compact and pragmatic: short communication lines, high autonomy, and a strong focus on quality. The culture is informal, collaborative, and Dutch-speaking, with an emphasis on long-term growth and impact.


As Ruby on Rails Developer, you will:

  • Build and maintain features in Ruby on Rails, from design to production
  • Improve application performance, scalability, and reliability
  • Write clean, well-tested code (RSpec/Minitest) and work within CI/CD pipelines
  • Collaborate with product and engineering on architecture and best practices
  • Take ownership of modules and drive features from request to deployment
  • Contribute to reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing


What you bring

  • 3+ years of experience with Ruby on Rails (backend development)
  • Strong knowledge of APIs and relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
  • Experience with testing frameworks and CI/CD workflows
  • Proactive and communicative, comfortable in a small team environment
  • Dutch language required; English is a plus
  • Based in the Netherlands (or nearby), available for 2+ days/week on-site
  • Valid EU work permit required — no visa sponsorship


What you get

  • A solid monthly salary in line with your experience (range €3.000 – €6.600)
  • Hybrid work with flexibility in hours and location
  • A modern office within walking distance of public transport, plus a relaxed space for lunch and team gatherings
  • A supportive package including pension, travel reimbursement or bike plan, and personal development budget
  • An open, informal culture with room for social activities, wellbeing initiatives, and plenty of humor in the team
