Company logo

Headquarters: USA URL: https://www.protonradio.com/

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with strong back-end expertise to help modernize and maintain critical systems—especially those that aren’t always glamorous (like legacy codebases)—but are essential to the heartbeat of our platform. This is not a management role. We want a dependable, experienced developer excited to improve stability, scalability, and maintainability.

You’ll work closely with our fully remote team to support systems written in Ruby on Rails and PHP/Laravel, with some involvement in React/Next.js/TypeScript front-ends. We’re especially interested in engineers who enjoy getting their hands dirty, take pride in quality, and can work independently with minimal direction.

Why Join Proton

  • Remote-first culture with flexible hours.
  • Collaborative, respectful team with a passion for music and code.
  • Opportunities to grow across technologies and systems.
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful work supporting independent artists.
  • Proton is a values driven organization, meaning we aim to align the actions we take with shared ideals. Each team at Proton has its own value system; you can check the engineering team's here.

What You’ll Do

  • Maintain, refactor, and improve existing systems—including a legacy PHP app with raw SQL.
  • Contribute to modernizing that app in Laravel, Rails, and GraphQL.
  • Support our Rails platform with clean, scalable code.
  • Collaborate with front-end engineers on React/Next.js projects when needed.
  • Be able to write performant SQL queries for use-cases when the ORM is not performant enough.
  • Assist in API work, including migrating from REST to GraphQL.
  • Work across cloud platforms (GCP, Netlify), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Follow Shape Up methodology to deliver focused, high-impact work.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of back-end or full-stack development experience.
  • Extensive experience with a modern web application framework (e.g., Ruby on Rails, PHP/Laravel, Django, Spring, .NET, etc.).
  • Familiarity with Ruby on Rails or PHP/Laravel is a plus — or enthusiasm to quickly learn them if not already experienced.
  • Strong SQL skills—confident writing queries without an ORM.
  • Familiarity with React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
  • Comfortable working in a remote, async-first team with excellent communication skills.
  • Experience with Git/GitHub, Docker, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Self-driven, accountable, and eager to learn.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience with Laravel migrations or legacy-to-modernization projects.
  • Familiarity with the Shape Up process or similar agile methods.
  • Awareness of web security fundamentals.
