Working With Rails

At ThoughtWorks we create software and provide consulting grounded in reality; by delivering value, we help organizations become efficient through Agile and Lean practices and principles and by providing solutions that support tomorrow's business strategies and goals.

But that alone is not what has made us stand out as industry leaders and colleagues to some of the industry’s most respected knowledge workers.

We are a social community built on the basic core values of attitude, aptitude and integrity. As a community of intellectual free thinkers, we believe it’s our duty to not only champion software excellence and revolutionize IT but play our part as global citizens by making decisions that leave the world in a better state than we found it.

Our values govern every decision we make, facts not lost on the growing number of customers who see us as a trusted software partner.

While we have a number of projects in Atlanta, we are a consulting company with clients all over the US, applicants really must be able to commit to a high degree of travel on a weekly basis to clients sites out of state for many projects. We'll keep it as hassle free and enjoyable as possibly but realize it's not for everyone.

We are looking to hire a number of Ruby on Rails developers in Atlanta.

The gauntlet's been thrown down by our clients and we've been given an opportunity to create a really innovative software solution and help them solve some really really unique problems. We want to put together an A-team of craftsman and engineers to help us rise to this challenge. We are looking for the "creative", the "grinders", the "decision makers", the "what box?" thinkers, and "won't stop till we get it!" types to work in a highly free thinking and collaborative Agile environment and throw down!
