Working With Rails

I founded Forward (www.forward.co.uk) 4 years ago. Life is good; we’re doing rather nicely and have a portfolio of businesses including:

• TrafficBroker (www.trafficbroker.co.uk) A multiple award winning search marketing company set to turnover £25m in 2008.

• Omio (www.omio.com) An innovative mobile comparison and community site built in Rails

• Texter (www.texter.co.uk) A cool mobile phone app, also in Rails, that’s just been launched and has plenty more to come.

We have an amazing development team at Forward (8 and counting…) including:

• Fred George (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/applying-agile-to-ruby) Ex-vice President at ThoughtWorks, Ruby and Agile guru with over 39 years experience…

• Lukas Oberhuber Ex-Sapient Technical Director, 20+ years experience on some of the Internet’s biggest sites

• Can’t say yet :) We have a couple of amazing, soon to be ex-ThoughtWorks employees starting in September.

We’re looking to recruit at least 4 more top quality Ruby / Agile developers asap. A Forward career is pretty exciting; you get a great salary, share options and lots and lots and lots of other perks, some of which are listed here: http://www.forward.co.uk/career So if you might be interested, please say hello – neil@forward.co.uk
