Rubyists,
My company, VetsEz, is currently looking for two Rubyists who enjoy
riding the rails!
The first position is for your standard RoR dev position. The salary
range is 110-120k. The second position, is an architect/dev/scrum
master role and carries a salary of 120-130k.
Both positions are 100% remote and open to any US citizen working in the
US.
I am including both job descriptions below. As you read them, keep in
mind they were written by someone in HR who needs to be beaten to death
with a shovel. They require things you couldn’t possibly have unless
you are already here. I realize this, and I will say if you are the
type of person that prides yourself on being a producer, by doing actual
real work, you know you have a talent for Ruby, and that delightful
framework we call Rails then consider applying. If you are able to
self-teach yourself what you don’t know, consider applying. If you have
health care experience that is a bonus, but I had I had none the day I
started and some of us here realize that too!
Email me your resume if interested:
[email protected]
A real person will read it.
Sincerely,
Cris S.
