Hire Ruby on Rails developers

Hire senior Rails developers, vetted for the stack.

Skip the résumé pile and the generalist marketplaces. Tell us the role and get a curated shortlist of senior Brazilian Rails engineers — each one reviewed by a senior Rails engineer, with a real time-zone overlap number attached.

Request a shortlist

Tell us the role. We'll send 2–3 anonymized names with overlap hours and rates — no account required.

No password, no account. We reply from hello@railsmith.dev. See our Privacy.

What you get

A shortlist, not a search problem.

You never browse a roster or sift profiles. For each request, our team curates two or three engineers who actually fit — and protects them with anonymized projections until you want to talk.

Senior, pre-vetted

7+ years of Rails, screened for system design, Hotwire, PostgreSQL, and test discipline.

Real overlap hours

Every card shows the computed daily overlap with your business hours — typically 6–8 hours with US teams.

Intro videos

See and hear each engineer before you book an interview. English exposure is part of the vetting.

Fast turnaround

A shortlist in days, first interviews inside 7–10 days of a clear request.

Flexible engagements

Hourly contract or dedicated full-time — switch as the work changes.

Billing handled

Approved timesheets roll into one clean monthly invoice. No payroll, no entities abroad.

Engagement models

Two ways to work with us.

Hourly / contract

For project work, surges, or trialing a fit. Pay for approved hours, billed monthly in USD. Scale up or down without a long commitment.

Dedicated full-time

An engineer embedded with your team at a flat monthly rate. Best for owning a product surface or roadmap over quarters, not weeks.

What it costs

Dedicated full-time seats typically land at $7,500–9,000 USD / month. Hourly / contract work is quoted on the card, generally from $55/h. You see the exact rate — set by seniority and overlap — on the shortlist before you interview.

One monthly invoice in USD. We pay the engineer locally; you never run foreign payroll.
