Manchester, UK | Boxmove and Others | Rails/React Full Stack Developer | REMOTE | Full or Part Time. We run a few different businesses, and we need a remote full-stack developer to work in-house on various upcoming projects. It's varied work - there's a lot of different things to work on. Think of it as a Developer in Residence role. Industries: Logistics, eCommerce, Publishing, Advertising. Stack: Mostly Rails/React/Postgres. We've got some legacy Wordpress stuff that needs an occasional poke. Open to moving to Elixir for greenfield stuff. Role: Getting stuff built. Full-stack developer with the ability to set up servers and explore new tech as needed. To give an example of a first project (which I'll also post on Seeking Freelancer because it needs doing ASAP). We need an eCommerce platform for small chains of brick-and-mortar shops (1-20) to list and sell their stock online. Mainly we are talking furniture, books, CDs and DVDs (... yes, CDs and DVDs). Challenges you'll tackle: - Set up a white-label storefront for our individual clients. - Set up an own-brand platform that searches across all our clients. - Taking barcodes / ISBNs and fetching article information from online sources. - Click-and-collect reservation system with notifications to the shops - iPad-based interface for shops to list and manage stock. Other businesses we run: https://boxmove.com, https://www.howacarworks.com, https://www.thebigspace.co.uk, a lot of mobile games sites. We're flexible and you'll have a lot of freedom to get stuff built and shipped. It's an ideal role for someone who would like to do their own startup but wants get a breadth of skills before striking out in a couple of years. Compensation: £40k - £55k+ Send me an example of something you've built. me@alexmuir.com
