Hire Ruby on Rails Developers

What to look for

Look for someone who treats Rails conventions as a starting point, not gospel: they can say when a service object or a plain Ruby class beats stuffing more into a model, and they know where ActiveRecord generates the N+1 queries that quietly kill a page. Ask them to walk through a slow endpoint they profiled and fixed, and listen for real tools (the query log, bullet, a flamegraph) rather than guessing. A good tell is how they talk about background jobs and migrations on a live database, since that is where Rails apps actually break in production. Test discipline matters too: ask what they mock, what they don't, and why their suite is or isn't fast enough to run before every push.
