We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in Ruby to take ownership of critical components in our cloud security and compliance platform. You will play a central role in shaping the architecture and long-term health of a widely adopted, Ruby-based engine that enables compliance-as-code at scale.
What You’ll Do
You will lead the design and evolution of core Ruby systems, focusing on clarity, performance, and maintainability. Your work will directly influence how thousands of compliance profiles are written and executed across cloud environments.
- Own and modernize foundational Ruby modules within a long-standing, high-impact codebase
- Design intuitive, idiomatic Ruby APIs and domain-specific languages used by compliance engineers worldwide
- Model cloud services and security controls using Ruby to support Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
- Drive refactoring initiatives to improve modularity, testability, and system clarity
- Optimize execution performance and reliability of compliance rule evaluation
- Conduct code reviews with a focus on Ruby best practices, design patterns, and tradeoffs
- Guide and mentor other engineers in advanced Ruby techniques and robust testing strategies
What We’re Looking For
This role demands a strong command of Ruby beyond surface-level usage. You should be comfortable navigating complex object models, leveraging metaprogramming responsibly, and building reusable, well-tested libraries.
- Minimum of 2 years in professional software development with a focus on Ruby
- Expert-level understanding of Ruby’s object model, modules, mixins, and metaprogramming capabilities
- Proven experience developing and maintaining Ruby gems or internal libraries

- Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Familiarity with cloud security concepts such as IAM, networking, encryption, and logging
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM
Nice to Have
- Background with Chef InSpec or similar Ruby-based DSL frameworks
- Experience designing domain-specific languages in Ruby
- Contributions to open-source Ruby projects
- Knowledge of compliance standards such as CIS, NIST, SOC2, or PCI
- Exposure to Go or other systems programming languages
