Description

Looking for an experienced Ruby on Rails developer to build cloud based services for both online and mobile solutions.

The mobile solutions we develop (native & browser) are powered by cloud servers that handle content, marketing, and other business needs. Our cloud platform is built with Linux, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, HTML5, and uses XML / JSON for data exchange. It is hosted on Amazon, Engine yard, and Heroku.

  • Candidates MUST be located in the USA and be able to work during typical EST hours.
  • Candidates located in the New England area that are willing to come to Waltham for occasional meetings and in-office development will be given a priority.


  • Skills & Requirements

    Skills:
  • Experienced RoR developer that can write code while keeping an eye on performance and architecture.
  • Experience with consuming and providing web services using REST and JSON (when possible), XML and SOAP (when necessary).
  • Experience with Backbone.js or other common JS MVC frameworks.
  • Familiarity with Node.js a plus.
  • Familiar with RDBMS and SQL.
  • Familiarity with asynchronous job queues a big plus.
  • Familiarity with creating and maintaining automated unit tests.
    Familiarity with Git (or similar).


  • Approach:
  • Top-down thinker and developer to ensure what we produce is extensible, reusable, and scalable.
  • Great communicator and team player as you bridge the gap between wireframes, designs, challenging requirements, and a growing code base.
  • Collaborate to find the best solutions based on their merits, not seniority.
  • Be comfortable in taking the lead in matters where you have the most expertise, and in following another’s lead otherwise.
  • Should always be thinking about the full stack (even if not touching every part of it), from client to server, in order to make sure everything fits in and performs well together.
  • Deliverable-oriented. Be able to break down larger business requirements into smaller technical tasks, which you can achieve and iterate on in a short amount of time, in order to continually demonstrate forward progress to us and our clients.
