G2 is looking for a technical lead for a team working primarily on Ruby on Rails.
You'll own the technical direction of a core Rails application — setting architecture, raising the quality bar, and shipping features end to end alongside a small, fast-moving team. This is a hands-on role: you'll spend most of your time writing and reviewing code, not managing people. You'll work directly with product managers, designers, and business stakeholders to turn ambiguous problems into shipped features in short iteration cycles, and you'll instrument what you build so the business can measure whether it worked.

Serve as a technical leader, providing architectural guidance and strategic direction in collaboration with the leadership team
Establish and champion engineering best practices, code standards, and quality benchmarks across the team
Product Development & Delivery
Build and maintain a high-quality, stable, and well-tested web application with comprehensive test coverage
Deliver complete features in short development cycles, writing effective frontend and backend code
Break down complex technical requirements into deliverable solutions using systematic decomposition patterns
Leverage AI coding tools to accelerate development velocity and enhance team productivity
Cross-functional Collaboration
Partner closely with designers, product managers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions
Instrument features with metrics and measurements to enable data-driven business decisions
Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Quality & Operations
Ensure quality releases through rigorous testing, code review, and deployment practices
Monitor application performance and proactively address scalability concerns
Contribute to incident response and system reliability efforts

7+ years of professional software development experience, with significant time in web application development
