Vetting

How we vet Ruby on Rails Developers

Every Ruby on Rails developer sits the Cubehire AI interview: multiple choice fundamentals, a timed written and coding round, and a recorded video round. A person on our team then reviews the profile before any company sees it. For this role, the interview checks that they can:

  1. Check 1

    Builds a Rails feature with a model, validations, a background job and specs in a timed task.

  2. Check 2

    Explains Active Record callbacks, scopes and query optimization.

  3. Check 3

    Plans a two version Rails upgrade on a large app with low test coverage.

Questions about hiring Ruby on Rails Developers

What companies ask before they hire a Ruby on Rails developer through Cubehire.

Talk to our team
Yes. Many established SaaS companies run on Rails, and Rails 7 and 8 added Hotwire and simpler deployment. Hiring for it is mostly about finding developers who know it well.
Yes. They upgrade one minor or major version at a time, run tests at each stage and use dual booting where it reduces risk.
Some do. Many teams now use Hotwire instead. Tell us which approach your app uses.
Yes. Moving Rails apps to Render, Fly.io, AWS or Kamal based deployments is a common project.
A flat rate quoted before you interview anyone: a one time fee for full time placements, or a fixed monthly rate for contract work. There is no percentage of salary. See the pricing page for current rates.
