Original posting

London, UK - Rentify - Software Engineer (Rails) We're a small tight-knit team that wants to change how rentals are done. The rental industry is old, antiquated, and ready for a push. We think we have the right recipe, and so does Balderton Capital, who invested in us for our Series A. We don't do deadlines, or assign your day to day work to you, or tell you how to get it done, or make your decisions. You're smart, professional. You don't need us to tell you how to do your job. Of course, we don't mind helping if you get stuck. Here's how we hire: http://bufordtaylor.com/post/62455729428/how-we-interview-en... Here's how we work: http://engineering.rentify.com/post/47385480838/in-engineers... Responsibilities: * Lead by example – by writing good code, talking about good code, and then drinking beers with the team to celebrate all the good code everyone wrote * Design and development of new product features and enhancements * Communicate with non-engineers to define requirements and deliverables * Know what technologies are out there in case you need to use them * Periodically teach your co-workers all the great stuff you learned via tech talks, brown bags, blogs or open source Requirements: * You ideally have Ruby on Rails experience. (We’ll still talk to you if you’ve done something with Django or node.js) * You want to work in a startup (a.k.a. a place that works hard and plays hard) * You feel comforted when you write a good unit test * You must have a Bachelor’s knowledge level of computer science via education or experience * You know when to use Postgres/Mysql vs Mongodb/Redis * You understand the full stack (servers, RoR, javascript/css/html) * You have to be able to travel to central London every day Please email me at buford@rentify.com
