Hire Ruby on Rails Developers for Nearshore Software Teams

Ruby on Rails is legendary for developer productivity, but this speed can create a mountain of technical debt if not managed with discipline and experience. We find the seasoned Rails engineers who have navigated the path from rapid MVP to scalable production system. They know that the 'magic' of Rails must be balanced with architectural rigor, performance tuning, and a commitment to maintainability. They practice the 'boring' but essential disciplines that keep a Rails codebase healthy for years to come.

Is your Rails application slow, inefficient, and expensive to run?

The Problem

The convenience of the Active Record ORM is also its biggest pitfall. Unchecked, it leads to rampant N+1 queries, bloated model objects, and inefficient background jobs that cripple application performance and drive up server costs.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our developers are forensic performance engineers for Rails. Axiom Cortex™ verifies their ability to use tools like Scout APM or Skylight to hunt down and eliminate bottlenecks. They must demonstrate mastery of Active Record optimization, including `includes`, `eager_load`, and `pluck`, and design efficient background job processing with Sidekiq.

Proof: Measurable reduction in response times and database query count

Has your 'convention over configuration' app become an unmaintainable monolith?

The Problem

Without clear architectural patterns, Rails applications can devolve into a 'fat model, fat controller' nightmare. Logic is scattered, models are thousands of lines long, and every change risks unintended side effects, making the codebase brittle and slow to evolve.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for expertise in modern Rails architecture. Our engineers are proficient in using service objects to encapsulate business logic, concerns to share behavior, and patterns like Trailblazer or custom form objects to keep models and controllers lean. They build modular, testable systems that scale gracefully.

Proof: Improved code modularity and measurably higher test coverage

Core Competencies We Validate

Modern Rails Architecture (Service Objects, Concerns, Form Objects)

Advanced Active Record Performance Optimization

High-Throughput Background Job Processing (Sidekiq)

Comprehensive Testing with RSpec and Capybara

Rails Security Best Practices (SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF)

Database Schema Design and Migration Management

Our Technical Analysis

The Axiom Cortex™ Rails evaluation is a refactoring and architecture challenge. Candidates are given a slow, legacy Rails controller with significant technical debt. They must refactor this into a clean, well-structured service object with proper error handling and optimized queries. The solution must be backed by a comprehensive RSpec test suite. We then assess their ability to diagnose and fix hidden N+1 queries in a complex view, proving they have the diagnostic skills needed for real-world production maintenance. This ensures we select engineers who can not only build new features but also improve and sustain existing, complex Rails applications.
