Working With Rails

You've cut your teeth on multiple web projects, you know you are good, you're the frickin' best. You love working on all sorts of projects and continuing to learn, but to really take the next step you want to get into a smart growing company and build web apps that make a serious difference. We're talking about a company that only hires the best, has a great culture and is revolutionising an industry. You will help us build up our team, work alongside our existing rails developers and be part of a growth story to tell around the campfire. "I was there, in Soho, back in 2k11".

You don't want to take yet another contracting job, another corporate assignment for your agency. You want to see this one through. You want to own it.

We give you the visual designs, you'll make it happen. And you'll tell us what else we need to do next to make this ship fly.

If you're ready to build your own rails shop, send us your CV, tell us about the best work you've done and tell us why you responded to this ad. You'll know if you are ready and so will we.
