You love coding. So do we.
We’re Simplero—an all-in-one platform that helps coaches and creators build thriving businesses with courses, communities, email, payments, automations, and more.
We're 5 full-time engineers. We ship 10+ times a day. We build things fast, right, and with soul.
We’re looking for a senior full-stack Rails engineer who lives to code, values elegance and simplicity over hype, and wants to be part of a team that moves mountains—without internal politics, micromanagement, or fluff.
🛠Our Stack
- Rails 7.1 (working on upgrading), Stimulus, TailwindCSS, ViewComponents
- MariaDB, Sidekiq, Redis
- React Native for our mobile app (bonus if you know it)
- CI on the full codebase — any engineer can deploy, and we do it constantly
- Monolith, no docker/k8s/devops fads. One repo, one deploy, keep it simple.
- Pragmatic codebase: fat models, service objects, custom DSLs, internal tools that help us move *fast *and DRY
You Might Be One of Us If You...
- Love Rails—like, still feel the magic kind of love
- Are really good with JS, Tailwind, and everything front-end
- Have solid SQL/database skills (we use MariaDB)
- Built your own apps just for fun—and you’re proud of them
- Have good code and UX taste (we care deeply about both)
- Are self-managing and make good decisions without needing hand-holding
- Are curious, generous, and love pairing with other devs across time zones
Bonus Points If You...
- Know React Native and mobile app development
- Enjoy building powerful tooling, DSLs, and frameworks to make dev work elegant
- Want to work with a founder/CEO who codes, thinks deeply, moves fast, and sees business as a vehicle for growth, healing, and spiritual awakening
Why Simplero?
- We've been around 16 years and still move like a startup
- Our CEO built the third ever production Rails app (2004!)
- We’ve never lost an engineer to burnout or boredom—only to founding their own startups
- Everyone here is kind, helpful, and world-class
- Our users are changing lives—and they genuinely love us
- No politics, no middle management, no BS
- If you make it past 2 months, you’ll probably be here for years
