Skilledup Academy (New York)- Senior Ruby Developer

TL;DR:

We’re looking for a Senior Ruby Developer to help us build a mentored online education platform to get people their first job in a new career. You are a coder, a system designer, and a mentor. More than that, the Senior Ruby Developer is a crucial, respected contributor to a startup team that is playing to win. Our code is pristine. We are nice.

We are looking for 2+ years of professional rails experience. Our website is at academy.skilledup.com.

Our Beliefs:

§ Education changes the world: We're an education company at heart. We care about the growth of our learners and our employees. We have investment days on Fridays to research the competition, learn new skills, and do things that get us closer to our vision.

§ Sustainable Code: We practice BDD. Our code is pristine and we're proud of the work we produce. We have over 95% test coverage, but we focus on writing the right kinds of tests.

§ Lean: We don't build things we don't need. We iterate quickly on what we learn.

§ Cross-Functional Teams: Our team is composed of generalists. There is no "wall" to throw things over. We aren’t fans of the "assembly line" model of development.

§ Flat Organization: We believe good ideas come from anyone in the crowd. In that sense, we are a flat organization.

§ Design First: We really care about UX and design, and bring 3 to 5 users in every week for user testing so that we stay close to our users. We first design wide, then design deep.

Tools include: Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Heroku, RSpec, Factory Girl, CoffeeScript, Konacha & Mocha, Trello, GitHub, git rebase -i, CodeClimate, Gemnasium, and CircleCI.
