RoR Software Engineer
Location: London
Company: Call2Action Network
Job description
CTO-in-training needed in or around the London area, to work primarily from home.
If you have set your sights on becoming a CTO but still enjoy coding, our stealth startup is the right ‘fit’ for you. We need a ‘hands on’ Ruby on Rails pro who has led deployment of complex RoR sites. We are hiring for that role – but we also want to hire our future CTO.
To become our CTO, we’ll need you to help us figure out the Firm’s future development roadmap including timelines and metrics. Then we’ll need you to manage execution of that roadmap to meet goals and timelines. We’ll also need you to directly manage, mentor and develop each member of our small but growing technology team (including a group overseas). In your spare time, we’ll need you to implement and manage rigorous development and work with others to create QA processes to ensure a really strong site experience.
Requirements:
* At least one other major language such as C++, JAVA or RUBY.
* Intimate knowledge of Ruby on Rails and MySQL.
* Experience building and scaling web sites with at least 100k users.
* Seriously strong communication skills
* Strong project management / work planning experience
* Demonstrated ability to work with a distributed team
* Bachelors in Computer Science or equivalent required
* Masters or PhD is a plus but life experience can substitute for the right candidate.
* Knowledge of behavior-driven development
We offer competitive salary and high equity compensation in an equal opportunity workplace. Please note - salary will be paid in US Dollars.
(DOE + depending on equity interest) *Contractor: $85- $150/hour* FTE - $75k- 100k
