Hi,
I am looking for 3 permanent top notch Ruby developers - 2 senior and 1
intermediate - to
work in central London, UK.
I head up a small group of programmers who produce business
applications in-house for a large communications agency
in the advertising market. Demand for our services is growing
so we need to expand our team.
The current platform is Ruby on Rails, running behind Apache 2 on Windows
XP.
The RDBMS is MS SQL Server 2000. In depth knowledge
of Windows is a bonus but not a requirement. Java/C# is also
a bonus. Expert Ruby, web development and SQL are an absolute essential.
Either MS SQL or Oracle is preferred but Mysql/Postgres/etc. only experience
will be considered if you can demonstrate true expertise.
Our aim is to retain portability where possible but to make
the most of the environment where it makes sense.
There are plans to experiment with Linux so any Linux
admin and security experience is a bonus.
We use Open Source as much as possible and plan to Open Source
our infrastructural components where not business critical.
We want our applications to be as responsive as possible
so we are using client side XML + XSLT and remote scripting
with DHTML widgets so good javascript is required.
Cross browser is less important but we want things
to work with Firefox where possible.
The senior programmers need 5+ years experience in a variety
of languages and platforms dealing with the full project lifecycle
in a variety of domains. You will be expected to gather
requirements, design systems and manage a project
from start to finish. You will report to me, the System Architect.
The intermediate programmer will be reporting to one of the seniors and
should
have 3+ years experience and be confident in team leading and
administrative skills. Your role will be to support the seniors
and to be sysadmin for the team.
The working environment is demanding but rewarding - fast turnaround
of quality solutions is our goal. We will work as a team, sharing
ideas, problems and solutions. Positive experience of
source control, bug tracking, wikis and other collaboration
tools will be looked on favourably.
If this interests you, please send any questions
you might have to seohalpin-PkbjNfxxIARncZnQYuSK0A@public.gmane.org
If you want the job, send your CV! Please include
your salary expectation.
Sean O''Halpin,
System Architect
