Get Ruby on Rails Developers
Rails engineers who build fast and ship fast. Strong in convention-over-configuration principles, Active Record patterns, and modern Hotwire/Turbo stacks for monolith-first teams.
Senior Rails developers in LATAM cost $55-85k vs $150k+ in the US. Rails developers are rarer than JavaScript developers globally, making LATAM a valuable source.
Rails remains dominant in LATAM's startup and SaaS community. Developers here know how to ship products quickly using Rails' conventions, not fight them.
Brazil's Ruby community is one of the largest in the world. Rails conferences, local meetups, and open-source contributions create depth beyond just framework knowledge.
4-8 hours of daily overlap with US teams. Rails teams often run lean, and LATAM developers integrate well into small, high-trust engineering cultures.
Rails developers in LATAM often handle frontend and backend. Hotwire, Stimulus, and ERB views are part of their toolbox alongside React-based frontends.
Every candidate completes all five stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
A timed test measuring analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving clarity, independent of specific programming language knowledge.
A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
A 90-minute session covering Active Record patterns including N+1 queries and how to diagnose them with bullet gem, database indexing strategy, and background job design with Sidekiq. Candidates work through a Rails feature: designing the model layer, writing a controller with proper error handling, and writing an RSpec test covering the critical path. We also assess their understanding of Rails conventions vs when to break them, and their experience with Hotwire for server-side rendered interactivity.
Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate in an engineering context, not personal contacts.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

Rails rewards developers who embrace the framework. Ours do. They work with conventions, not around them. They know when a fat model is a code smell and when it's the right call. And they use the Rails ecosystem deeply, not just the basics.
GitHub Copilot for generating Rails boilerplate: migrations, model validations, controller actions, and RSpec specs. Speed matters in Rails development.
AI-assisted N+1 query detection and query optimization suggestions during code review.
They use bullet gem and rack-mini-profiler in development and treat performance issues as bugs.
Clear communication about Rails convention tradeoffs. They'll tell you when breaking a convention is worth it and document the decision.
They write RSpec tests with FactoryBot, not with fixtures, and keep test suites fast.
