Job Description
You will lead the effort to design and develop data migration tools and processes that enable new customers to go live with MyTime's Point of Sale / Appointment Scheduling / CRM solution. New customers cannot go live on our platform until you’ve completed your work, so this role is vital to the growth of the company.
You’ll work with the SAAS implementation manager to understand the customer's needs and integration points. You’ll need to be creative and detail oriented as you develop custom approaches to extract, convert and migrate data such as clients, appointments and transactions from legacy systems into MyTime. You'll need to determine when MyTime will be the master and when we will be a client of another system with real-time or asynchronous connections. In some cases, you'll also lead or assist with software development of custom features for the client that are 'must haves' before they can go live.
As a software engineer, you should be generally passionate about coding and have an interest in building applications with high usability, scalability, and test coverage. In your everyday work, you should continuously contribute to good overall software design with the goal to achieve a highly structured large scale software product. You should also maintain a high awareness of development industry trends and best practices.
In addition to your passion for coding, you should also want to help in other aspects of building a new company: Designing features, making good product decisions, and building a culture of excellence. We’re seeking engineers who are ready to attack deep technical challenges as well as have an impactful role in product and company development!
Key Responsibilities
- Execute specific data migration tasks utilizing both manual and scripted processes
- Develop and maintain web scrapers that can accurately pick up data elements and import them into the right database fields
- Investigate legacy software products to figure out the best approach for data extraction
- Implement a migration pipeline between two enterprise systems, likely using a data integration platform and in some cases a continuous syncing solution
- Create individual data migration jobs to move portions data based on the needs of different customers go-live date
- Write field-level transformation and validation code to allow data to flow reliably
- Be responsible for verifying the pipeline is acting predictably: validate at each stage of migration, and generate reconciliation reports
Qualifications
- Should be Brazil-based, and willing to work from home
- Minimum 2 years of Ruby on Rails
- Intermediate to expert proficiency with analysis and migration of SQL databases
- Experience pipelining data in an imperfect environment—retrying through rate limits, http errors, network issues, etc.
- Experience with agile software development environments
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, fluent in English
Additional Information
This role provides a competitive salary of $65,000/year and a transparent and exciting startup culture that is singularly focused on empowering people to make an impact in their jobs. The applicant MUST be based in Brazil, must speak English fluently, and be able to collaborate with their Brazilian team members.

Target product companies over agencies
Product-focused companies sponsor Rails engineers far more consistently than staffing agencies or consulting firms. Agencies often can't justify H-1B costs for short-term client placements, while product companies treat Rails engineers as core long-term hires.
Highlight full-stack depth, not just Rails
Employers sponsoring visas want to minimize hiring risk. Demonstrating proficiency across the Rails stack, including PostgreSQL, Redis, background jobs, and API design, signals you're a complete hire, not a specialist who needs gaps filled by others.
Document your degree field carefully
H-1B specialty occupation approval depends on a direct link between your degree and the role. Computer science, software engineering, and information systems degrees map cleanly. A degree in an unrelated field may require a credential evaluation or additional documentation.
Pursue companies with H-1B filing history
Employers who've sponsored Rails or backend engineers before already have immigration counsel, internal processes, and a willingness to sponsor. Prior H-1B filings for similar roles are a strong signal the employer will move forward without friction.
Prepare a strong GitHub portfolio
Visa sponsorship decisions involve risk assessment for employers. A public portfolio of Rails projects, especially open-source contributions or production-grade applications, reduces perceived risk and gives hiring managers concrete evidence of your technical depth.
Understand the LCA and prevailing wage early
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application certifying your offered wage meets the prevailing wage for the role and location. Understanding this process helps you evaluate whether an offer is structured correctly before committing to a sponsorship timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ruby on Rails qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. Ruby on Rails engineering roles qualify as H-1B visa specialty occupations because they typically require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. USCIS has consistently approved H-1B petitions for software developer roles when the employer can demonstrate the position genuinely requires that specific degree background.
What degree do I need to get H-1B sponsorship as a Rails engineer?
A bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field is the standard requirement. If your degree is in an unrelated field, you may still qualify using the equivalency rule, three years of progressive, specialized work experience substitutes for one year of formal education, meaning 12 years of relevant experience can stand in for a four-year degree.
How do I find Rails jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this. Every listing on the platform is filtered for visa sponsorship eligibility, so you're not sorting through hundreds of postings that exclude work visa holders. You can browse Ruby on Rails roles directly and see which employers have a demonstrated history of sponsoring software engineers.
Are Rails engineers subject to the H-1B lottery?
Most are, yes. The H-1B cap applies to the majority of private-sector employers, and selection is random via annual lottery. However, roles at universities, nonprofit research institutions, and certain government research organizations are cap-exempt, meaning those employers can file H-1B petitions year-round without entering the lottery.
Can a small startup sponsor my H-1B as a Rails developer?
Yes, company size doesn't disqualify an employer from sponsoring H-1B visas. What matters is whether the employer has a legitimate business, can demonstrate an employer-employee relationship, and can show the role meets specialty occupation standards. Smaller startups sometimes move slower on immigration paperwork, so it's worth asking early in the process whether they have existing immigration counsel in place.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Ruby On Rails jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
