Senior Software Engineer, Ruby on Rails (m/w/d)

This role is part of our Product & Engineering Department at group level, meaning you’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across countries and contribute to the development of our shared platform. As a result, this position can be filled in Germany or the Netherlands.

Please note that remote work from outside these countries is not possible, except in the context of our workation option (see below).

If you are based in the Netherlands, feel free to also explore our Dutch vacancies via: https://www.acture.nl/vacatures, as salary & benefits may vary slightly depending on location. However, your point of contact will remain the same regardless of your location, so you can still directly apply via this job add.

As a Software Engineer at Acture, you’ll play a key role in building and improving our platform alongside a collaborative and driven engineering team. If Ruby on Rails is your track, you’ll feel right at home here.

You will:

• Co-develop new features for the Acture platform across both backend and frontend
• Collaborate with the team to discuss ideas and actively shape the user experience
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help improve platform stability, performance, and scalability
• Test and QA features before deployment to ensure high-quality releases
• Work with a modern tech stack including Ruby on Rails, RSpec, Capybara, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS
• Troubleshoot issues, fix bugs, and maintain a clean, efficient, and sustainable codebase

You’re a hands-on full-stack engineer who enjoys building reliable software and continuously improving your craft.

• At least 4 years of experience as a full-stack software engineer
• Strong, in-depth knowledge of Ruby on Rails
• Bachelor-level thinking and working ability
• Solid understanding of relational databases (preferably PostgreSQL), REST APIs, HTML, and CSS
• Familiarity with MVC frameworks and Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• Understanding of architectural patterns and system design principles
• A strong focus on clean code and thorough testing
• Good communication skills and fluency in English (C1 or higher)

In your role as Software Engineer at Acture, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact—both on the product and the people around you.

As part of the Acture team in Germany, you’ll be surrounded by open-minded, smart people who are passionate about working toward our shared mission. We place great value on creating a healthy environment for both work and life, including flexible working hours and the option to also work from home.

What we offer:

• €1,000 annual learning and development budget for online courses, conferences, or professional literature
• A Deutschlandticket company pass with an annual value of around €720
• Corporate fitness membership through Urban Sports Club or Wellpass with an annual value of around €600
• 28 vacation days plus 2 additional days off (Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, or Rose Monday)
• The opportunity for a workation, for example by extending travel after vacation days to flexibly combine work and travel
• The possibility to take additional unpaid vacation days

This is how we invest in your mobility, health, and professional development in a targeted and measurable way.

Open communication and mutual support are the pillars of our collaboration. We help one another and challenge each other in order to achieve our goals together and improve every day.
