Senior Ruby on Rails

Detalles de la oferta

Are you looking for your next challenge? We´re looking for an experienced Ruby on Rails developer to join our team responsible for an application relied upon by local governments in the UK, US and New Zealand.

You will be working on a Ruby on Rails application used by local governments to manage permitting for outdoor filming and events. The system has tens of thousands of users and has helped in processing more than 70,000 applications for permits of different types, including for filming blockbuster films and for holding major outdoor festivals.

The platform is a Ruby on Rails monolith, currently running on Rails 6.1 and built using default framework tools, hosted on AWS. The front-end is built using HTML, CSS and JS. Tools we use include MiniTest and Capybara for testing, Jenkins for deployments and Bitbucket Pipelines for test run automation.

We’re proud of some aspects of our system and less proud of others. We’re looking for someone to join us in moving it forward; someone keen to grapple with knotty technical challenges and who will take pride in gradually improving the platform over time, providing a better and better solution for our users.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

As part of a team of 3 developers, one product manager and a CTO, your role will involve helping to shape the future direction of the platform, contributing to key architectural decisions, helping the other developers become more effective, and day-to-day development. You will also be involved in some DevOps.

- Mentoring, sharing knowledge, and helping team members to improve their skills in an environment which values and encourages improvement
- Code reviews
- Suggesting ways for the team to work more effectively
- Working with other team members to refactor code to simplify and improve the maintainability of parts of the system

- Experience writing unit tests
- A great team player – you will enjoy working collaboratively, learning from and teaching the other members of your team
