Ruby Labs is a leading tech company that creates and operates innovative consumer products. Our platform operates at the intersection of payments, billing, subscriptions, analytics, and internal CRM tooling, where data correctness, performance, and reliability are mission-critical. As our transaction volume and customer base continue to grow rapidly, our database layer has become one of the most important parts of the system.
We are looking for a strong Database Engineer who will own, scale, and evolve our data infrastructure, ensuring it remains fast, reliable, and ready for long-term growth.
You will be joining a high-talent, fully remote engineering organization with strong backend, infrastructure, and product teams. Engineers at RubyLabs work on real scale, real money, and real impact.
As a Database Engineer at RubyLabs, you will be responsible for designing, operating, and optimizing databases in a high-volume payments environment. This role goes far beyond basic CRUD operations — you will work with large datasets, complex queries, performance bottlenecks,
migrations on massive tables, and analytics pipelines.
You will collaborate closely with backend engineers and product teams to ensure our data layer supports both transactional workloads and analytical use cases, including internal CRM search and observability.
