We are currently seeking a Ruby on Rails Developer. Experienceworking in front-end frameworks like React and Angularis also desirable (although the emphasis here is on Ruby/Rails). This is a remote position.

The ideal candidate is analytical, highly organized, and self-motivated with a proven track record in deliveringmodern application solutions (particularly Ruby or web-based technologies). Beyond strong technical skills, we are looking for someone withmature communication skills and the desire to be a part of a cooperative development effort.

Initiallyyou’llbe part of a dedicated project team configuring and developing a custom health science platform for drug trials. This rolewill grow intoopportunities to work on other tech stacks and other projects – as a small company you’ll always have opportunity to work on new challenges.

• You consider yourself adaptive and enjoy wearing multiple hats

This probably isn’t a good fit if you:

• Need a lot of structure or oversight to do your best work. Our remote environment requires team members to be able to tolerate ambiguity andbe assertive and communicative when tasks are unclear.

• Are really keenly interested in justone specific technologyniche (nothing wrong with that – but you’ll probably get frustrated here)
