Senior Ruby on Rails engineer building the backend systems behind StackBlitz.com and Bolt.new, working on scalability, data storage, integrations, and platform features. Core stack: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, AWS, plus Node.js/TypeScript across the stack. Fully remote, globally distributed team.
We’re Bolt.new by StackBlitz!
We’re the team that brought you WebContainers, the first-of-its-kind technology that made it possible to run Node.js right inside your browser. That breakthrough kicked off our journey in 2019, and it’s what powers the blazing-fast online IDE used by over 1 million developers every month.
But we didn’t stop there. We doubled down on everything we learned and built — the fastest way to go from idea to production without writing traditional code. It’s a next-gen, AI-powered app builder that helps you create, edit, and deploy full-stack web and mobile apps instantly, right in your browser. No installs. No setup. Just smart automation and instant dev environments that let you move at the speed of thought.
We’re a fully remote team, globally distributed, deeply collaborative, and seriously passionate about building the future of software development.
This is your chance to join a small team with a big vision. If you love shipping fast, solving real problems, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, we’d love to meet you.
We’re looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to help build the backend systems that power StackBlitz.com and Bolt.new.

You’ll be part of a small, ambitious team focused on making software development more accessible to everyone.
