Sr. Backend Engineer - Ruby on Rails
Welcome to Devlane! We’re a LATAM-based software company focused on staff augmentation for fast-growing global clients. Join us to grow, learn, and make real impact in a collaborative environment.
Welcome to Devlane! We are a dynamic software development company with a strong presence across Latin America. Currently, we specialize in offering staff augmentation services to clients worldwide, with a particular focus on North America.
Joining our team offers you the opportunity to shine and make a significant impact on the projects you work on. Many of our clients are modern small to medium-sized businesses experiencing rapid growth, and they're eager to add core members like you to their teams. This environment ensures you'll stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends.
At Devlane, our values are straightforward: we foster a collaborative environment and prioritize building long-lasting relationships where you can develop your skills as a software engineer and learn from your peers.
What's the role about?
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will serve as the core backend specialist for a sustainable apparel and retail brand, taking full ownership of backend architecture, internal tooling, and critical third-party integrations. You will work closely with a small, collaborative engineering team to ensure the reliability and performance of e-commerce, retail, and logistics systems—particularly across a Shopify-centric ecosystem during high-traffic periods. From architecting robust API connections to proactively troubleshooting and maintaining platform stability, you will leverage strong engineering fundamentals to deliver immediate, high-visibility impact across the entire operational pipeline.
What do we require from you?
6+ years of solid and proven experience as a software engineer, with a strong focus on backend development.
Strong proficiency and experience in Ruby on Rails, OR equivalent deep experience in Python using frameworks like Flask or Django.
Hands-on experience working with third-party API integrations and Shopify APIs.
Solid background working with standard databases such as MySQL.
Familiarity with standard frontend technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to maintain and adjust internal tools, without needing to be a frontend expert.
Strong analytical capacity and debugging skills to proactively solve technical problems and collaborate on solutions via shared communication channels.
Strong technical fundamentals with a low reliance on Artificial Intelligence tools; AI should be used strictly to enhance development velocity, not as a dependency to operate
