Hello SDRuby, CodeNoise, Inc, a local freelance development shop has an opening for a full-time Rails engineer with at least 5 years of experience in the field. This is a salaried position.
Description: You’ll be developing backend and frontend rails apps for a variety of clients. In some cases, this is an API server. In others it is a customer facing website. You’ll be expected to lead the architectural design for some projects, and give input and advice on others. You’ll mentor junior developers to ensure everyone grows their skills and craft. If you are intrigued by freelance work, but want to have the support and camaraderie of a team, this could be a great opportunity! Required skills: * Comfort with all aspects of ruby and rails. * Ability to explain how the “rails magic” works in various scenarios. * Front end (HTML, Javascript, CSS) familiarity. *Note, we aren’t looking for a full front end designer/developer… but you need to at least be able to take a photoshop design, and know how to turn it in to a page. If you do have strong frontend expertise, it won’t hurt. * Comfort with ActiveRecord, and enough SQL knowledge to tune an app’s queries for scale. * Experience laying out APIs for public consumption, which back either mobile apps or websites. * Basic project management skills. We don’t have dedicated PMs, and require self-discipline to ensure estimates are reasonably accurate and deadlines are met. * Desire to actively contribute to workplace culture, team spirit, and enjoying what you do. We like coming to work, and want you to as well. * Familiarity with TDD, and the discipline to follow it. Additionally, the pragmatism to understand when NOT to, and willingness to discuss why. Bonus skills: * Experience in mobile app development (either iOS or android) * NoSQL experience, specifically with Mongo or redis. * Experience using Sinatra and/or custom rack middleware. What you can expect: * Flexibility on what you work on. We have several different projects, and shuffle things around to play to a person’s strengths. * Team support to help you bust through roadblocks as they come up. * Leadership that is actively concerned with team well-being. * Good work-life balance. If we ask you to work beyond normal 40-50 hour work-weeks, it will be for a specific purpose, and limited duration. * Opportunity to learn and grow. * Work on hackathon style personal projects as schedule allows (as we grow, these schedules become more regular) -Joe Fox -- -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SD Ruby" group.
