About Livestorm & The API Tribe

At Livestorm, we are building the future of online events and engagement. Our platform powers thousands of webinars, meetings, and virtual events worldwide, enabling companies to connect seamlessly with their audiences.

The API Tribe is at the heart of Livestorm’s backend architecture, handling everything from authentication and billing to real-time communication and data synchronization. We are a small but high-impact team working on modernizing our stack by transitioning from a monolithic architecture to a robust service-based ecosystem.

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Ruby Engineer who will play a key role in driving this transformation. If you love working on high-scale, high-performance applications, enjoy solving complex architectural challenges, and thrive in a collaborative environment, this role is for you!

Bonus: If you have experience with Golang, it’s a big plus! We are gradually introducing Go into our ecosystem, and having Ruby engineers who can contribute to both stacks would be a great asset.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Senior Ruby Engineer in the API Tribe, you will:

Architect, build, and optimize backend services using Ruby (Rails 7).
Lead the transition from monolith to service-oriented architecture, defining best practices and ensuring smooth integrations.
Work closely with product, frontend, and infrastructure teams to design scalable and efficient APIs.
Ensure performance, security, and reliability of our backend systems handling millions of requests.
Mentor and support other engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
Collaborate on architectural decisions, helping shape the evolution of our backend stack.

Big bonus: Go experience to contribute to Golang-based services and help bridge the transition between Ruby and Go where necessary. If you don’t have prior Go experience, a strong desire to learn and work with Go is essential.
