Join the UK's leading Ruby team

How we work

We work in an Agile way, and need people who understand the virtues of this methodology (particularly XP). We organise the company into teams, and it is important that people can fit into these units. Running User Stories workshops and attending iteration meetings are undertaken by some of our developers, and this can be a nice opportunity to show initiative if you have good client facing skills. Overall we need to have developers who feel responsible for the success of projects and actively try to make them run well.

Who we're looking for

We're always on the lookout for experienced Rails/Ruby developers to join the team. We are one of the leading Rails companies in the UK, and are working with some very interesting clients. The position is a great opportunity to work with a bunch of exciting and enthusiastic people. We are primarily looking for commercial experience in candidates, especially with Rails applications. At this point, we don't have the resources to train people internally, and need people who could quickly and easily function effectively as part of a greater team.

A summary of necessary skills include:

• Knowing Rails inside out - crucial
• Having a number of working Rails applications available to the public
• Ability to work both individually and as part of a team (no heroes)
• Having a desire to spread knowledge and be opinionated about best practices
• Able to work in our London offices, or on site with clients ( also in London )
• Experience of Agile a plus
• TDD/BDD practices a plus

What we are not looking for (right now):

• Junior/intern level candidates
• Experienced candidates in other languages who are looking to switch to Ruby/Rails

What we offer

In return we offer a competitive salary and perks such as a conference and training budget. You sit in an Aeron, and code on a company Macbook. We get a wide variety of clients and projects which give exciting opportunities for problem solving. We try to have a great company culture, and encourage lots of geeky chatter, as well as regular X-Box sessions after work. Overall, our main goal is to be (continue being) the number one Ruby company in the UK. If this is something that appeals, drop us a line.
