At Alkimii, we're on a mission to transform how hospitality businesses manage their people and property operations.
Our platform helps hotels run smoother operations, improve team communication and create better workplaces for their employees.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer to join our development team in Spain and help us continue evolving the Alkimii platform.
If you enjoy writing clean code, solving real production problems, shipping improvements quickly and using modern tools — including AI-assisted development — you might feel right at home here.
Who are we?We are Alkimii, a fast-growing Irish SaaS company building software that helps hospitality businesses run better operations.
Hundreds of hospitality teams rely on Alkimii every day to manage their people, processes and property operations.
We are a software company at heart, and engineering sits at the centre of everything we do.
What's the opportunity?You'll join a team of wonderful humans building a product that evolves continuously.
Our engineers work on both:
improving and supporting the existing platform
Because our software is used daily by real hospitality teams, stability, reliability and speed of iteration matter just as much as new features.
Engineers here participate in conversations that shape the product — and are expected to take ownership of their work from idea to delivery.
Writing clean, well-tested Ruby code
Working with Ruby, Rails and GraphQL
Debugging production issues and improving existing systems
Shipping improvements quickly and seeing them used by real customers
Collaborating with engineers, product specialists and designers
Solving technical problems with pragmatism
Using modern developer tools — including AI coding assistants and agents — to work faster and smarter
