FILLED | Web Developer with Ruby on Rails experience: Contract to hire

Responsibilities
·        Work in a small agile team to deliver a suite of web tools to enable merchandising and content discovery in their device and application ecosystem.
·        Develop full stack, solid web 2.0 applications using Rails and Javascript.
·        Play a key role in the design (code / UI) and development of new features
·        Wow your customers with innovative solutions that make using the tools easy and delightful – customer value is more important than lines of code.
·        Requirements
·        Strong understanding of web application architecture, and be able to contribute in different areas of the web-stack (i.e., frontend, backend, APIs, web services).
·        Solid JavaScript knowledge – Javascript, JQuery required.

·        Collaborative work style – no fear of pair-programming – like feedback on your designs/code.


Nice to Haves
·        Expert JavaScript knowledge, Coffeescript experience even better. You should ideally be as comfortable on the front end as you are on the back end.
·        Expert Rails 3.2.x knowledge. You’ve already started dabbling with Ruby 2/Rails 4.
·        Strong knowledge of HTML5 & CSS3 (bonus points for HAML and SASS experience; you know and love compass)
·        Have a good eye for design... you don’t need to be a designer, but you do need to know what a good UI looks like, and like to create it.
Bonus Points
