A Manchester based client that is disrupting the property sector is looking for a mid level Backend Developer who has at least 1.5-2 years commercial experience. They are expanding their development team in Manchester so require a Ruby on Rails Developer who can hit the ground running. 

Our client is designing the 21st-century renting experience, and they are really getting somewhere. Their residents love their awesome service and amazing properties, their owners are delighted with hassle-free, risk-free rental income and they have grown the team to 27 people across Manchester and London. They want to add a couple of new faces to the Manchester product and engineering team. They don’t have a long list of requirements – all they look for is 18 months programming experience in a commercial, web environment. They are flexible on your technical background – they are a Ruby and JavaScript (React/Redux) shop but use the right tools to get the job done, and many of them come from different languages and stacks.

Non-Negotiable:
• 1.5-2 years minimum commercial experience (within web development)
• Product Manager mentality
• Can and will do attitude – it’s a small team so people need to get stuck in where needed
• No sponsorship required

The perfect candidate would:
• Have experience with interactive consumers
• Modern JavaScript exposure
• Ruby on Rails

Here’s what you can expect to be doing and learning if you join the team:
• Agile – they are an all-in and give our team the space to learn, collaborate, prioritise, refactor and improve
• Ruby and JavaScript – many of them come from other technical backgrounds and you might too
• Continuous delivery – they deploy several times a day and are passionate about automation
• TDD and BDD – they are not purists, but they like these practices and use them when they’re suitable
• Personal development – you’ll get regular feedback and opportunities to develop, at the pace you choose
• Pair programming – they support pairing and believe it helps build great teams
• Full stack coding – they go where the work takes us, from stylesheets to databases

Benefits:
• Equity in the business.
• Pension
• 25 days holiday
• Flexible working – working from home on Wednesdays
• Lovely Manchester City Centre Office
