Are you a Senior Ruby Developer? Looking at the London area for a role? Interested on working on a Greenfield Ruby Programme? How does the thought of ripping out and completely redeveloping a big reconciliation system backend for a Financial Services Web Business sound to you?

This Financial Services Web firm is re-developing not only this business critical system, but its entire development process too, switching to a more purist Agile environment. Its taking on a Ruby team to remove the Java legacy code that makes up its back-end reconciliation systems and developing/installing automated Ruby tools. This project will allow the business to double its business client base and is critical to the growth of the business. The project is completely greenfield and will run with a lot of upshot projects as a result, you'll have the opportunity to get this rare kind of project under your belt, with total freedom to re-develop, re-design, pull apart, consolidate and configure the technology.

Still at early stages, the team is growing quickly, currently 3 and looking at growing to 5 or 6 this year, you'll be a key driver in the team, developing good clean code for the new Ruby tools. Strong Ruby, RSpec and Cucumber required and the confidence to take something from scratch and redevelop it within a business critical framework. The business employs Agile and TDD/BDD experience, as well as sound Agile approach is required in your background.
