A senior Rails developer, on contract

When you need to hire a contract Ruby on Rails developer, you usually need two things: someone genuinely senior, and someone who can start before the quarter ends. Levelbrook is both — a senior Rails engineer with six-plus years in production, available for remote contract work and billed corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC.

You work directly with the engineer doing the work. No account manager in the middle, no junior swapped in after the kickoff call. The trade-off we're honest about: this is one senior consultant, not a staffing firm. For work beyond one person's capacity, we can bring in vetted senior Rails peers transparently, but the default is a single accountable developer who owns what they ship.

What a contract engagement looks like

The kind of work I take

Drop-in feature development on an existing Rails app, performance and scaling fixes (slow queries, N+1s, Sidekiq, AWS cost), Hotwire/Turbo front-of-stack work, public APIs and third-party integrations, and OAuth/SSO. If it's Rails and it's hard, it's probably a fit.

Engagement shapes

Pick the contract that fits.

01

Ongoing contract

A standing senior seat on your team, month to month. Feature work, PR review, and on-call if you need it — bill by the hour, scale up or down as the roadmap shifts.

02

Fixed-scope project

A defined deliverable with a defined price: the API, the migration, the performance fix. Quoted up front, no surprise bills.

03

Trial week

Start on a no-strings rolling contract. See real PRs and how I work before any longer commitment — either side can walk away at no cost.

04

Contract-to-hire

Start as a contractor; convert to a longer arrangement if it's a fit. C2C, 1099, or contract-to-hire all work.

Questions buyers ask

Hiring a contract Rails developer, answered.

Are you available right now?

Yes — currently booking new engagements at 30–40 hrs/week, typically able to start within the week.

Remote or on-site?

Remote. US-based on Pacific Time with flexible overlap for your team's hours.

How do I pay a contractor cleanly?

Corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC is the default; 1099 and contract-to-hire also work. MSA, SOW, NDA, and COI ready on day one.

What if I only need a few weeks?

That's fine. Fixed-scope projects and short engagements are welcome — send the brief and we'll scope it honestly.

Can you handle more than you alone can do?

If a project outgrows one developer, I can transparently bring in vetted senior Rails peers from a small trusted network, while staying accountable for delivery.
