My client is on the lookout for a passionate Ruby on Rails developer to join the team working on their Rails App.
* Ruby and Rails
* HTML/Haml, CSS/Sass, JavaScript, and SQL
* A Devops and Test-Driven Development state of mind
* Optionally: Sinatra, Mongo, Puppet, Git , Rspec, Cucumber, Mac/Linux skills
Over the coming year they are scaling up their site, their Rails app serves a growing 10 million pages per month. They need you to help make it a distributed, world-class web application.
You’ll have plenty of opportunity to sharpen your skills in adding new features and going beyond Rails. Building Sinatra/MongoDB services, contributing to open-source projects, and helping make the code-base more sustainable.
You’ll work closely with the business, take part in product decisions, and pair program regularly. So be prepared to put down those headphones and spend a lot of time talking and listening. They’ve got a talented team and are keen to learn from you and hopefully teach you a few tricks too!
The business has a lot of ambition and a wide range of facets, so there will be lots of variety as well as hard work.
You don’t have to be a leading edge Ruby developer, but you do need to be hands-on and care about quality; there is plenty of backend, frontend, and infrastructure work to be done.
My client are looking for people who love good code and would enjoy working with them!
What’s in it for you?
Fast-growing, funded startup
The site has over 1.5 million visits from unique visitors every month and thousands of transactions. They are well funded having recently secured $40 Million from investors.
By joining them you'll have an impact on a booming business, where you can make a real difference and be part of the success story.
Great work conditions
The culture is one of quality code, participative product design, and systematic testing of new ideas.
On your first day you’ll receive a brand new MacBook Pro. There is a friendly office environment that comes with free unlimited coffee and tea (for your caffeine addiction), bean bags (if you want a change from your usual desk) and a games area to think, chill, or blow off steam.
Plus get free breakfast daily, go to interesting conferences, access a growing ebook library, get 5 weeks of holidays.
Challenging application
You'll put your brainpower to good use, helping to figure out technical solutions to growing pains: working on a high traffic and growing web application that serves the needs many varied users. The app is hosted in the cloud and managed by Puppet. so DevOps skills may also come in handy!
You matter
The tech team is split into small, focused, autonomous teams (2 or 3 developers and a product manager). You will have a say in architecture, planning, and how new product features are designed. You'll also have the opportunity for variety and a new challenge by choosing the team or project that interests you at the end of each quarter.
You will not have to worry about customer-facing support as the company has a dedicated customer care team, so you won't be the next member of the IT crowd!
