We know what you are thinking…WHAT IS THE ROLE AND WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING? 

As Ruby on Rails Architect, you are a critical individual contributor and architectural leader within our engineering organization. You drive the long-term technical vision of our platform, guiding how we design, build, and evolve scalable, reliable systems across multiple squads. As a high-impact, high-autonomy technical leader, you combine deep technical contributions with influential cross-team collaboration, helping shape the future of our platform to better serve our customers.

You serve as a trusted technical partner to Engineering Managers, Directors, and Product leadership, taking ownership of our most complex technical challenges while mentoring engineers across the organization. You play a pivotal role in our transition from a monolithic Ruby on Rails application toward a modern, distributed, event-driven, domain-oriented architecture.

Our team is passionate, empathetic, hard working, and above all else focused on improving the lives of our service professionals (our Pros). Our success is their success.

 

In your daily routine, you will: 

• Lead cross-squad architecture efforts, shaping and evolving technical direction across multiple domains
   
• Design and build scalable, fault-tolerant systems to ensure outstanding performance and reliability as our customer base grows
   
• Champion Domain-Driven Design (DDD) practices and empower teams to structure software around clear, maintainable domain boundaries
   
• Advocate for and guide the adoption of event-driven system design using tools such as Kafka and SQS
   
• Educate and mentor engineers on architecture principles, design patterns, and best practices across the engineering organization
   
• Identify and drive the resolution of technical bottlenecks and hotspots through refactoring and re-architecture efforts
   
• Uphold and advance engineering excellence in areas such as performance optimization, secure coding, test automation, and CI/CD health
   
• Conduct deep technical reviews of codebases and architectural designs to ensure long-term maintainability and scalability
   
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams to align technical solutions with business needs
   
• Model a culture of ownership, accountability, and technical excellence across squads

 

• Help engineers leverage AI to boost productivity and solve complex product challenges through hands-on guidance and enablement.
   

 

 You must be aware that joining Housecall Pro means: 

• Building a product that really improves users’ lives (70k users, 4.6 rates at App Store) - let’s see what clients say about the product;
• Being a part of a global team that build a diverse culture in our company
• Working with more than 200 engineers highly qualified and engaged in improving the life of our Pros. 
• Having a real impact on technical decisions without breaking through the corporate, glass ceiling;
• Being in direct contact with the community of users, who are eager to share their feedback;
• Rapidly growing teams that create a defined career path.

We think that this offer is for you if you have:

• 9+ years of experience designing, building, and operating complex production systems
•  Deep experience in Ruby/RoR
• Proficiency in multiple programming languages (i.e. JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, Node.js)
• Deep expertise with cloud platforms (i.e. AWS), containerization, and serverless/cloud-native architectures
• Proven success applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles across multiple teams or domains
• Experience architecting and building event-driven systems using distributed messaging tools (i.e. Kafka, SQS)
• Experience with defining and improving CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Gitlab, etc) and automated testing strategies (e.g., e2e, canary tests, integration tests, etc)
• Expertise in scalable API design and management (i.e. RESTful APIs; GraphQL is a plus)
• Strong background in system observability practices (logs, metrics, tracing) and performance diagnostics
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience

And also, you get extra points for:

•   Strong systems thinking with an ability to simplify complex problems
•   Comfort working through ambiguity and making well-reasoned decisions with incomplete information
•   Collaborative nature with a proactive approach to communicating technical trade-offs
•   Deep empathy for the end-user and a commitment to building solutions that deliver real value
