Scotland | £45,000 - £70,000 | Permanent
Consultant
Max Malone
Scotland
A Scottish based start-up is on the search for an experienced Software Developer, ideally with a strong background in Ruby on Rails, to join their team. They are a remote company (with occasional meetups) so are ideally looking for someone already in Scotland.
Their market leading product has been a massive success in the UK and following a successful round of funding, they are looking to grow out their Dev function to help with the next expansion phase. As a company they're very product-driven and place a really big importance on modern development practices.
You'll work in their core Development team alongside 2 other Devs (with guidance from the CEO and CPO). They have strong knowledge of Front End & Mobile Development within the team already so are looking for someone to bolster things in the backend. Knowledge of AWS Infrastructure would be a massive plus as well.
As it is a startup, you'll be contributing to design meetings and leading feature work so they're hoping you're at the level where you feel comfortable doing this independently. They have said this role would suit someone who has been working as a Mid-Level Dev for a few years, or a Senior Dev.
In terms of tech, their stack includes the following: Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, Stimulus, React Native, AWS and more. They're looking for someone that is strong Back End Developer that has lots of commercial experience with Ruby. As it is a start-up, you will wear a few hats, but time will be provided to upskill where needed.
You should be an experienced Ruby Developer that's excited about working on end to end solutions with modern practises. Although they're a start-up, they're starting to focus on scaling so it's an exciting time to join them as one of their early employees.
The interview process for this one is fairly straight forward - you'll have a quick intro chat with the CEO to go over fit and some technical questions. You'll then move on to a take home Tech Test, with a final interview to review this with an in-depth chat surrounding your experience, the company, culture and the role.
The company are based in Scotland so are ideally looking for you to be based in Scotland as well. Fully remote is on offer here with occasional meetups. Salary for this role is in the range of £45k to £70k, with a strong benefits package as well.
