Good morning,

I am currently recruiting for a number of Ruby on Rails Developers to  
work for a fresh, dynamic online organisation with a very exciting  
product.

Required skills

In order to apply, you will be a passionate Ruby on Rails Developer - it  
doesnâ€™t matter if you have a .NET or J2EE background, as long as all you  
dream about developing in is RoR and you spend every spare second  
writing RoR applications (even if you have to do J2EE during the day).  
However, you must have written at least 1 public RoR application (bonus  
points if it works nicely on an iPhone!).

Ideally, you will have built Web 2.0 generation websites (if so, please  
provide URLs where possible, describing your involvement). Any exposure  
to working within a SCRUM-like environment, to a fast-paced, iterative  
process would be beneficial.

Why work for this company?

The technical and senior management team includes individuals that have  
been responsible for leading the delivery of projects such as iPlayer  
for the BBC, the technical development of Opodo (the Pan-European Online  
Travel Agency), plus several other high profile online businesses… the  
track-record speaks for itself.

The working environment is fun and dynamic; the company thrives through  
bouncing ideas around and offers employees half a day per week to spend  
on personal projects to help drive creativity within the business. A  
culture of success is bred through developers and designers working in  
pairs to increase collaboration, putting a buzz into the office and  
enhancing the quality of work.

To confirm, these are permanent roles and offer a flexible salary  
according to candidate’s expertise.

If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me on:

Tel: +44 (0) 117 930 8575  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

I would appreciate a link to any examples of your work, together with a  
CV if possible.

Alternatively, if this isn’t right for you but you know someone who may  
be interested, please still get in touch, as I can offer a referral fee  
of Â£300 for any successful recommendations.

Many thanks,

Matt
