Job Overview:
We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Ruby on Rails Developer who’s excited about building great products at scale. You’ll contribute across the stack — from crafting intuitive front-end interfaces to designing robust back-end systems. You care about code quality, scalability, performance, and security — and you're always thinking about how your work impacts the user.
At Piktochart, we move quickly but responsibly — delivering value to users through thoughtful iteration. If you’re passionate about full-stack development and enjoy collaborating with a cross-functional team to bring ideas to life, we’d love to hear from you.
What Your Work Will Entail:
- Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code using Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript frameworks like VueJS.
- Build and maintain scalable backend systems and services that power our web platform.
- Enhance the platform with AI-driven features that simplify design and boost user creativity.
- SVG manipulation and rendering: Building complex, performant SVG-based elements with support for dynamic updates, transformations, and user interactions.
- Custom DOM/CSS rendering techniques: Creating layers beyond standard HTML/CSS (e.g., using canvas, WebGL, or SVG layers) for rendering high-fidelity visual elements.
- Custom visual editing tools: Developing and refining interactive canvas-based tools (drag, drop, resize, rotate, align, group, etc.) to give users full creative control.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, product managers, and fellow developers to deliver full-stack features that delight our users.
- Develop and maintain architecture that ensures scalability, performance, and security across both front and back ends.
- Participate in technical design discussions, implement robust solutions, and write tests to ensure quality.
- Take part in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and mentoring within the team.
What You Bring To This Role:
- 4+ years of experience as a full-stack developer, preferably working on SaaS or web applications.
- Hands-on experience with Rails & frontend frameworks like Vue/React/Svelte for building and maintaining SaaS applications.
- Strong knowledge of JavaScript fundamentals and modern frontend frameworks.
- Experience working with or building AI-powered features.
- Solid understanding of software architecture, database design, and security best practices.
- Experience working collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
- A user-first mindset with strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills and a willingness to learn, grow, and mentor others.
