You develop and maintain complex Ruby on Rails applications and make informed decisions quickly, drawing from experience across a wide technical stack. You involve your team in discussions on progress of stories as you turn designs and wireframes into functional applications. Ideally you are experienced in pioneering the way people work in an agile environment. You have strong object-oriented design skills, experience in setting up and maintaining UNIX systems and the use of JavaScript tools. You understand the benefits of TDD and CI and are delivery-focussed. # What happens next? We ask candidates to complete a short coding exercise. This gives us an opportunity to see their approach to solving problems and some of their code on a clean build project. Although the problem is simple we specifically ask that candidates treat it as a real feature request and provide work they would be happy submitting to a client. We will give feedback on a solution even if we decide not to progress with the application. If we do progress the application, candidates will get the chance to talk about the choices they made in their solution and respond to our feedback. They will also pair with one of our developers on the solution to either extend the functionality or to incorporate changes suggested by our feedback. >From there we do get a couple of other people involved to meet and talk >through how we work and get a feel whether or not the candidate likes the idea >of working with us. The process can be as quick or as slow as decided by the >candidate. If you are interested please email [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "North West Ruby User Group (NWRUG)" group.
