Job Description - Ruby on Rails Developer

Work activities will vary by project, but may include web application development, system architecture, database design, and converting custom apps to products with wider applicability. Development groups function autonomously, so employees should be able to estimate development effort and time frames, take tasks/requests from start to finish without frequent supervision, and actively identify where requirements are unclear or where questionable assumptions are being made. If employees have an interest and aptitude in managing client relationships, that will be encouraged.

The ideal candidate: - Is a graduate from a 4-year college or university - Feels that he or she can become a uniquely valuable team member - Is a talented coder with the ability to learn quickly and work across multiple technologies and projects - Has technical experience which includes some web interface coding using technologies such as PHP, Python, - Perl, .NET, JSP, XML, JavaScript, or AJAX (Ruby on Rails experience not required) - Possesses talent in data structure or user interface design - Brings additional disciplines to the team beyond computer science and software engineering

If the candidate is experienced with Agile methodologies, he or she may also take a leading role in mentoring employees, shaping SciMed’s methodology, and improving the efficiency of our development efforts.
