We are looking for a self-motivated full-stack Ruby on Rails developer to join our growing development team. You are going to develop visually rich data-driven websites and dashboards.

- General development skills should include understanding of common design patterns (MVC, Observer, Singleton, etc.), OOP concepts (Abstraction, Inheritance, Mixins Dynamic/Duck typing), Blocks, Lambdas .
- A solid grounding in HTML, CSS and JavaScript - you will be experienced in Responsive Web Design (using Bootstrap, Foundation, Semantic UI or similar) as well as experience in using common Javascript and CSS frameworks such as jQuery, Sass, CoffeeScript, Ember, React.
- Good understanding of Web Services, APIs and Object Serialisation concepts (such as JSON, REST, YAML, etc.), Data Access & ORM (specifically Active Record), Package Management (RubyGems)
- Security, Routing and Authentication – with a basic understanding of the principles outlined in the Ruby on Rails Security Guide (such as SQL and XSS Injection, Session hijacking and replay attacks)
- Modern agile based development approaches (TDD, BDD and Scrum), Source code management (Git and Github, Subversion) and exposure to continuous integration and unit testing frameworks.
- Self-sufficient, pro-active and able to share best practise Ruby on Rails development with other team members. You will be liaising with Product Owners and Senior Management team members and so good verbal and written communication skills are essential.

- Working on the Microsoft Windows Platform – especially using SQL Server with TinyTDS/ActiveRecordSQLServer-Adapter
