Needed: experienced Ruby, Ruby on Rails + React.js developer for ongoing development of Qwoted.com.

Qwoted is a global social network that helps media connect with subject matter experts and the PR/Communications professionals who represent them. We are looking for an experienced full stack developer. You will collaborate with the CTO and with the team to: write your own features, to review others’ work & expedite progress on features holistically, to use basic project management skills to triage incoming feature requests & choose the highest impact, lowest effort ones to build.

Qwoted is built with Ruby on Rails & React. We use a mix of ERB templates & React, depending on how user facing and important the feature is.

Must have senior-level proficiency in: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, jQuery, RESTful APIs, Sidekiq, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Heroku, Github, and Minitest. Candidate must be able to understand a large and complicated codebase (over 300k LOC & 100 models), to create new features quickly and efficiently, to be strongly opinionated about development methods in our domain, to review others’ code thoroughly and tactfully, to expedite the progress of features by pitching in, enumerating problems, resolving problems, etc.

Some skills required in: Bootstrap, database architecture, database design, Devise, Pundit, Rails Engines, UI/UX design and product management.

Bonus skills: Algolia, Stripe.

If you're the ideal match, you'll be independent and driven with a passion for leadership and coding. You will reach beyond your job description to do what needs to be done because you are a natural leader. You will excel at taking on high-level assignments, often with only roughly-outlined requirements. You'll understand problems, find the most efficient solutions, and go for it. We help each other as a team when necessary, but we aim for a high independence level.

You'll be successful if:
* You deliver high quality, working code. You love to code, and you love to lead others to develop excellent code.
* You look at your work as only a part of the effort of the team, and realize that if the team doesn’t all achieve their objectives, then you too have failed.  You have a deep sense of responsibility to the team and for the team to achieve excellent results.
* You are disciplined yet creative and nimble, in the areas of clean code/refactoring, proper documentation, following and developing procedures, etc.
* You creatively and iteratively build features that can be combined to solve larger problems. You look for areas of opportunity to improve our code base as you work on your assignments. You proactively document them as enhancement ideas for the future.
* You communicate clearly and can take on a conceptual feature idea, doing the necessary research to bring it to life.

This role is an excellent opportunity to get involved with a growing startup and tackle interesting problems.

If you are an independent and driven technology leader, and think this is the perfect role, we can't wait to meet you!
