Working With Rails

I’ve been working at Forward for over a year, enjoying the rapid growth of the company, and the constant technical challenges we face. I’ve been building some of the biggest sites on the internet for over 20 years and love making the hard problems simple. We have a great 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…

• We have a couple of amazing, soon to be ex-ThoughtWorks employees starting in September. They are…

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 drop me a line – lukas@forward.co.uk
