Junior Ruby On Rails Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the Incidents and Inspections team within Procore's Quality & Safety (Q&S) group. In this role, you'll use your technical leadership and engineering skills to develop products that impact how hospitals, homes, sports stadiums, and schools across the world are built. Quality & Safety builds the tools that help construction teams manage Incidents, Inspections, Observations, and Punch Lists, translating fundamental customer needs into SaaS solutions that keep job sites safe and projects on track.

You'll bring deep expertise in distributed systems, test-driven development, and modern web development to drive sound technical decisions, collaborate with partner teams across the division, and extend your influence broadly across the organization. Backed by the scale of our engineering organization, you will have the resources to build solutions that truly matter.

• Serve as the technical lead for the Incidents and Inspections team by setting engineering direction and owning the architecture, translating customer needs into scalable SaaS solutions, and contributing to the development and maintenance of features built on our Ruby on Rails monolith.

• Drive sound technical decisions and de-risk complex work within your team while collaborating with partner teams across the Q&S product suite and broader engineering organization.

• Establish and champion high-quality development standards that ensure code maintainability, system reliability, and long-term scalability.

• Mentor engineers on your team and across the division by conducting constructive code reviews, pairing on complex problems, and raising the engineering bar.

• Optimize application performance and resilience, and drive the resolution of technical debt and systemic risks before they impact customers.

What we're looking for:

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering fundamentals, including strong system design skills.

• Deep proficiency in backend development with Ruby on Rails, including hands-on experience working in a large, mature Rails monolith.

• Proven technical leadership, with a track record of serving as a tech lead and influencing technical direction beyond your immediate team scope.

• Experience with large-scale systems, including managing platforms and infrastructure that support thousands of hosts and millions of users.

• Experience building and maintaining modern CI/CD systems in a large-scale environment.

• Ability to balance immediate business needs with strategic, long-term technical investments, and to effectively communicate architectural trade-offs.

• Experience working with modern web development lifecycle tools, including testing, staging, deploying, and monitoring.
