Ruby on Rails Developer
Full job description
Elvis Eckardt Recruitment & Sales Solutions Ltd
Salary: £54,000 – £66,000 per year
Position: Ruby on Rails Developer
Location: Hybrid Manchester & Remote
Salary: 45k – 55k GBP
Some recent commercial RoR is essential as the core application is RoR. It is a small team that often swarms to get things done. A testing background is important as we need to output maintainable code. Product mindset is good as we put the user at the centre of our developments, release value in small chunks early and often.
As a team, we enjoy collaborating on solutions and everybody plays a part in the future of the system. There’s the opportunity to get involved in future tech and architecture. An open and collaborative culture in our small team built around a shared purpose to get more trust and transparency into the recruitment process using data.
We’re looking for a strong Ruby on Rails developer to complement the existing team. Someone who is confident leading on smaller projects, proactively identifying opportunities for improvement and is happy working in areas outside of their comfort zone from time to time.
Over the last year, we’ve been making a concerted effort with a small team to bring many legacy areas of the application into line with modern development practices and we’d like you to be able to help us continue that effort.
As a small team and business, we’re able to adapt and change quickly which means we’re open to all sorts of ideas as to what the best path forward might be. There are plenty of opportunities for you to lead on key cornerstone projects that will ultimately re-shape what our tech stack looks like in the short and long term.
In order for us to be able to deliver on these new changes, we need someone who really enjoys collaborating with a team rather than working as an individual, understands how to balance technical debt, and can implement value in small increments to help ensure short feedback loops.
What you might bring?
* You’re a web development practitioner with commercial experience of modern web frameworks. RoR knowledge is essential for this role.

* An ability to demonstrate and apply SOLID principles
* Good working knowledge of using Git and managing workflows with Gitflow or similar
* Experience of working in an Agile team
* Readiness to work across the full stack and learn what you don’t know
Nice to have or want to learn:
* Application security knowledge
* Good knowledge of front-end tooling and frameworks (React, Redux, HTML5, CSS, Bootstrap)
* Experience working with Docker or containers
* Experience with DevOps tooling
* Stripe Payments
* Typescript
What you’ll get
* Competitive salary
* Work in an open and collaborative environment with a flat hierarchy
* Flexible working
* Remote working
* Great central Manchester office (if/when)
* 23 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Pension scheme
