[Hiring] Principal Software Engineer @OfficeSpace Software

Role Description

You will shape the technical future of OfficeSpace. As our Principal Software Engineer (Ruby/React), you don’t just ship features—you architect systems that scale globally. You lead with clarity. You raise the bar. You design resilient, internet-scale applications that power the modern hybrid workplace.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect and evolve internet-scale systems with performance, reliability, and scalability as first principles.
• Lead the technical direction for Ruby on Rails and React applications across the platform.
• Design clean, extensible APIs and modern front-end architectures that deliver fast, intuitive user experiences.
• Orchestrate AI-assisted development workflows—using AI agents to accelerate code scaffolding, documentation, test generation, refactoring, and dependency analysis.
• Own architectural decisions across services, databases, and infrastructure—including MariaDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch.
• Use Kubernetes to scale Rails applications to handle Enterprise traffic.
• Guide multiple high-impact initiatives in parallel, ensuring secure, well-tested, production-ready releases.
• Mentor engineers to think in systems, write maintainable code, and leverage AI responsibly to increase velocity without sacrificing quality.
• Proactively identify technical debt and scalability risks—and drive pragmatic solutions before they become bottlenecks.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Leadership to evaluate trade-offs and deliver exceptional experiences across browsers and devices.
• Continuously evaluate emerging technologies—including AI tooling—to strengthen platform performance and team effectiveness.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of backend engineering experience, with deep expertise in Ruby on Rails.
• 10+ years of experience building modern front-end applications with JavaScript (ES6+) and React.
• Proven experience designing and scaling relational databases (MariaDB) and working with Redis and Elasticsearch.
• Demonstrated ability to define and influence architectural direction across large systems.
• Experience leading engineers through complex technical decisions while fostering a culture of trust and high standards.
• Hands-on experience with GraphQL (preferred).
• Experience integrating AI development tools (e.g., code generation, static analysis, automated testing assistants) into engineering workflows.
• Strong judgment—knowing when to automate, when to refactor, and when to rethink from first principles.
• Clear communicator who can translate technical complexity into practical decisions.
