Senior Ruby Developer

As a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer, you'll join the engineering team as a hands-on senior contributor on Tools Portal. You'll own significant parts of the codebase, raise the bar on code quality and engineering practices, and help shape how the internal tooling evolves.

Tools Portal is a collection of internal tools built to support different operational tasks and make everyday processes easier to manage. One of its main applications is Booking Admin, designed for travel agents to view, manage, and process bookings made through the booking system. It provides a central place for handling reservations and keeping booking information up to date.

The portal is built on Ruby on Rails 8.1, and applications across the client's ecosystem are hosted on a combination of on-premises infrastructure and Google Cloud Platform.
