Rails teams hire for people who ship features, not people who want to debate microservices at standup. Remote Rails work is out there — often at profitable smaller SaaS companies you haven't heard of yet.

Controllers, ActiveRecord, background jobs via Sidekiq, and the occasional 'why is this query slow' afternoon. Hotwire and Turbo show up in modern Rails stacks; older apps still have sprinkles of jQuery. Remote Rails roles usually expect you to own a feature from DB migration to UI.
Basecamp, GitLab-adjacent culture, and bootstrapped SaaS are common sources. Pay varies — some Rails shops pay top market because they're senior-heavy and remote-native; others trade salary for stability and sane hours.
