Role you're checking

Ruby on Rails Developer

Technology

Ruby on Rails Developers build and maintain full-stack web applications using Rails 7+ conventions — writing ActiveRecord models with scoped queries, designing RESTful and GraphQL APIs, offloading async work via Sidekiq + Redis, and wiring Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) for real-time UI without writing JavaScript-heavy frontends. In India, Rails is a niche stack dominated by specialist consultancies (Vinsol, BigBinary, Codemancers, Josh Software) and early stacks at companies like Razorpay, CoinSwitch, and Instamojo, plus a strong pipeline of Shopify-adjacent and global SaaS remote roles that pay dollar salaries to Bengaluru- and Pune-based engineers. Rails' convention-over-configuration philosophy means a small team can ship a production-grade SaaS in weeks, making it the go-to for Shopify app developers, US-bootstrapped SaaS founders, and agencies serving the global market. The scarcity of Indian Rails developers — fewer than 5,000 with production experience — creates a pay premium of 20-35% over equivalent Django or Node.js roles at the same seniority.
