Description
About us:
Our head office is based in the heart of Windsor and we've recently opened a new office in a prime location in London.
We're the largest social network you've probably never heard of. We have grown to become a portfolio of over 10,000 diverse and popular sites with annualized revenues in excess of $74m. We are a major player in the world of online dating and a key driver in the growth of social discovery networks, enabling people to make friends online and meet them in real life.
We’re working on several exciting new Rails projects and want to encourage you to bring your ideas to the team. We use Scrum, Kanban and are always aiming to improve skills together. The development team often go to industry events and regularly attend and have spoken at LRUG (London Ruby User Group) meetings.
Since October of last year our dev team has grown by 20% and we are doing everything in our power to position Globaldev as one of the most desirable companies for developers to work for.
You'd be hard pushed to find another environment where you get to work on such a range of challenges. Everything from everyday web development, through to full on engineering on our RabbitMQ based email system that pushes out millions of mails every single day.
