In this critical role, you will be instrumental in building the foundational payment and accounting integrations for a greenfield Rails application. Your work will directly support crucial financial workflows, including employer premium payments via ACH, refunds, and beneficiary payments (ACH/check), by integrating with bank and accounting platforms such as NetSuite.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and well‑tested backend integrations with external financial systems, including a bank and an accounting platform (e.g., NetSuite).
Establish foundational back‑end patterns for employer premium payments via ACH, refunds for overpayments, and ACH and check payments for beneficiaries.
Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code following OOP, DRY, and SOLID principles; actively participate in code reviews.
As this is a greenfield application, establish foundational patterns for all backend payment workflows and the flow of data into the accounting platform.
Contribute to full‑stack development with a strong focus on the backend.
Collaborate cross‑functionally with engineers, designers, and product managers in an agile environment.
Optimize application and integration performance for seamless and reliable operation.
Mentor junior developers and provide technical guidance as needed.
Stay current with Ruby on Rails trends, tools, and industry best practices.
Stakeholder Communication
Foster open communication with stakeholders, providing regular updates on project status and milestones.
Act as one of the points of contact between clients, stakeholders, and development teams.
Keep product managers, executives, and customers informed of progress and address concerns.

Collaborate with various departments to ensure seamless integration of technologies and solutions.
Facilitate problem‑solving sessions to address complex challenges and foster innovation.
