Software Engineering at Dreams

We care about the company mission and enjoy the pace and ownership that comes with a start-up/scale-up environment. We want to build a product that genuinely helps people - not just ship features.

We take pride in our craft. We think in systems, aim to balance new development with responsible maintenance, and understand the trade-offs behind architectural decisions. We work on learning when “fast” is the right call, and why a particular solution will hold up as the product grows, scales, and evolves.

We see AI as a natural part of modern engineering. We use it to accelerate exploration, coding, refactoring, and testing, but keep engineering judgment at the center. We evaluate, challenge, and refine AI-generated output so it strengthens the product rather than introducing hidden complexity or technical debt.

We’re looking for people who:

• Work comfortably across the full stack, with solid fundamentals and depth in selected areas

• Are technically curious and understands modern infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, distributed system patterns, and complex third-party integrations.

• Can build different kinds of applications - web, mobile, hybrid, backend services

• Enjoy taking something from concept to implementation and production, and running a product in a data-driven business

• Have experience in applying AI in products or building AI-powered features

You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you should be confident in learning what you need.

Why Dreams?

• Your work directly helps people improve their financial lives

• You’ll join a small, senior and collaborative team with real ownership

• You’ll shape both the product and the technical direction

• You’ll help define the next chapter of a company with heart and ambition

• You’ll have autonomy and the ability to make meaningful decisions that matter

Our technical environment
Your mindset matters more than the tools you’ve used, but here’s a glimpse of what we run:

• Backend: A cohesive set of Ruby on Rails services on AWS, backed by PostgreSQL, Redis for caching, and RabbitMQ for asynchronous workloads.

• Infrastructure: IaC-first setup with Terraform (AWS) and Ansible, containerized workloads using Docker, CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions, and a fully instrumented runtime using AWS CloudWatch and Grafana for monitoring, logs, metrics, and alerting.

• Frontend & Mobile: React/Next.js for web, and a hybrid native/web mobile architecture using webviews with bridges to native functionality.

• Developer Experience:A lightweight, high-trust engineering culture supported by tooling, fast builds, and a focus on making developers effective. As a small team, we rely on everyone to refine our tools and practices.
