Vetted Ruby on Rails talent
You interview Ruby on Rails developers DOIT already screened for technical depth, soft skills, English fluency, and role fit. Every developer on the shortlist sits at the top of DOIT's screening process for the role you scope.
Middle and senior Rails specialists

Fluency in the Rails ecosystem
Hire Ruby on Rails developers fluent in the modern Rails stack: ActiveRecord, Hotwire, Sidekiq for async jobs, and RSpec for tests. DOIT screens for production experience in the Rails tools your team already runs.
Flexible engagement
Choose full-time at 40 hours per week for product-team builds, or part-time at 20 hours per week for focused specialist work. Scale the engagement up or down as your roadmap shifts.
Proven track record
90% of DOIT-recommended RoR developers successfully complete probation, and 70% stay with clients for 12 months or longer. DOIT collects ongoing feedback and handles any issues throughout the collaboration to ensure high satisfaction for both clients and developers.
