[jobs] Ruby/Rails - Contract Position Available

Ruby/Rails - Contract Position Available

Im looking for an experienced Ruby/Rails programmer to essentially
remote
pair with me for the development of an open source Rails 3 plugin.

The plugin is an interface to the Datatables library (
http://www.datatables.net/).

My goal is to create an extremely intuitive API for the average rails
developer that will expose all of the functionality of the Datatables
library. Including multi column sorting, per column filtering, etc In
addition, considerable focus will be applied to ensure that the database
is
accessed efficiently.

The right person will be

  • an experienced Ruby and Rails developer
  • have some knowledge of how Rails plugins are constructed even if
    theyve never published one
  • have a solid understanding of ActiveRecord and not be afraid of
    methods
    like reflect_on_associations
  • should be comfortable with test driven development
  • should know RSpec or be willing to learn it
  • should be proficient with Git.

In addition well be working together remotely so youll need to be
willing
to use Skype, VNC and what ever other tools would help.

The resulting library will be distributed under the MIT and GPL license.

This is a short term contract for an open source project. Im willing to
pay competitive contractor rates. I expect the job to last between 80
to
120 hours total and to spend 20-40 hours a week on it.

Im willing to be flexible with my schedule and match yours if necessary.
