Hire senior Ruby on Rails developers through Probegin — product engineers for the Rails apps that still ship faster than anything else. Profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial.
Full-slice features in Rails 7+ with Hotwire/Turbo — the stack that lets small teams outship big ones.
N+1 hunting, caching, Sidekiq tuning and database work when growth catches up with the shortcuts.
Rails and Ruby version upgrades with deprecation sweeps — boring on purpose, done on schedule.
JSON APIs and third-party integrations with the test coverage Rails culture expects.
Rails still ships product faster than almost anything. If your team is JavaScript-centric instead, compare Node.js; for typed enterprise APIs, Java or .NET.
Rails apps that outgrew the founding team and need senior hands.
Two-sided products where Rails conventions keep feature velocity high.
Taking over well-loved apps whose original authors moved on.
Mid to senior product engineers, typically from startup and scale-up backgrounds where shipping weekly was the norm.
One specialist, embedded in your team, your standups and your tools — the classic direct model. Most placements run this way for a year or longer.
Two or three days a week for maintenance-grade or advisory work — you keep senior capability without paying for idle hours.
For outcome-scoped delivery, the specialist joins one of our implementation pods — priced on the result, not the hours.
What moves the rate: seniority, ecosystem scarcity (an architect-level profile prices differently than a generalist), and how long the engagement runs. For context, Dutch IT detachering averages about €65–150 per hour (ITRC, 2026); the direct nearshore model usually undercuts comparable local seniority meaningfully, since no layered agencies take margin. Exact all-in rates come with your shortlist in the intro call.
A 30-minute intake: the role, the stack, the team it lands in, the timeline it has to hit.
Two to three vetted Ruby on Rails developers from our 400K+ European network — within days.
You run the interviews and make the call. No pressure, no bench we need to empty.
Contracts and onboarding handled. A 60-day trial period, so the risk stays with us.
Your Ruby on Rails developers work from our network across the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria — all CET ±1, all fluent English (C1), all contracted and payrolled by Probegin so compliance stays our problem, not yours.
Yes — smaller pool than PHP or Node, but high quality: Rails engineers in our network come from product companies, and we typically still show profiles within days.
That's the classic Rails engagement — stabilize, add tests where they're missing, then resume feature work.
Current bench profiles work with Rails 7+ conventions including Hotwire/Turbo — full-stack product work without a separate SPA where that's the right call.
Profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial as standard.
No — the pool is smaller but unusually senior, and product companies keep choosing Rails for speed. Our network typically presents profiles within days regardless.
The first 60 days are the proof: if the match isn't right, you say so and the placement ends without long-term obligation — or we replace the profile from the network. Most trials convert; the ones that don't cost you a conversation, not a contract.
Yes — that's the normal growth path. Many clients start with a single specialist and expand to two or five as the roadmap demands, keeping one contract and one point of contact at Probegin. Scaling down is equally simple, with reasonable notice instead of penalty clauses.
Probegin does. You get one Dutch counterparty and one invoice; employment, payroll and cross-border compliance for the specialist are our responsibility. That structure also keeps you clear of freelance-classification risk under Dutch rules.
Tell us the role today, meet your matches this week, have them on the team in two.
