Hi All; We don't always post to the list, but when we do, it's for a great position.
*About you* You've done the Rails, you know how it all works and you've shipped a variety of different apps. TDD and BDD are things you've done at work, and you understand why they're important. You may have been working as part of a team but it feels like you're ready to step up to the next level. As long as you're good at communicating with actual people, this role would be perfect for you. There's a few other pieces of this puzzle like some really interesting dashboards that show real-time business metrics to internal users so writing SQL should be something that you're comfortable with. You'll also get the chance to hand pick the team as it grows. Interesting codebase and a team you like? Yeah. That. *About the company* A not-for-profit organisation that's going though some changes. One monolithic app has been broken down and rebuilt into small applications, all running Rails 3. Now the heavy lifting has been done, they're after someone to come in and take over in a lead developer capacity. Working with the CIO, you'll be the person that is steering the technical direction of the codebase. Even though the CIO will be the point man between yourself and the business, you'll need to be able to get your head around the business value that the apps will produce. The stack is: - Rails 3 - Postgres - Linux VMs - Automated deployments (capistrano) Salary will be good. There are some other cool perks like tax breaks and stuff like that. Also, 9 day fortnights. Every second Friday is yours to go to the beach, hack on your own thing, whatever. *About Lookahead* We're ex-developers ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the source code of these applications and we're confident that you're not about to walk into a world of hurt. If you're interested in knowing whether or not this job is for you, we'd love to have a chat. I'll be looking at your code, rather than years experience to determine what level you're at. If you like food or coffee, we can go chat over one of those. You can find me on twitter at @mattallen or email [email protected] or you can even call me on 0413 777 771. -- Matt Allen 0413 777 771 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
