Experienced Ruby/Web Developer - Full time
At itison, we believe life is about experiences. We connect our members to over 5,000+ top businesses, create Scotland’s biggest events, own some of Glasgow’s leading venues, and run our charity, itison us, to help those in need. We also believe great experiences start with us — with an amazing culture, benefits, and workplaces.
We're looking for a talented Ruby on Rails developer to join our team.
What's the role?
This is a full-time position for a UK based developer who can make at least annual trips to our Glasgow office, or can choose to work from there full time.
This role will see you working within our six-person Development team to improve our existing products and develop new services for our users. The team's focus is the itison.com e-commerce site and the associated apps, which process thousands of transactions every day and help businesses across the UK reach our users. We also develop a suite of internal tools to help run our company.
You'll work closely with the rest of the team to produce high-quality, tested code for our products and be expected to take ownership of projects from planning through to implementation and launch.

* Develop our internal and external web applications
* Develop new services for our members
* Provide technical assessments of tools/platforms
* Improve our team processes and workflows
What we're looking for:
* At least two years experience with Ruby/Rails
* Experience with automated testing - we use Rspec but any framework would be fine
* Experience working on non-trivial commercial or open projects
* Experience with common stablemates of Rails such as Nginx, MySQL, Elastic, Redis, etc.
* Ability to efficiently manage your own time and work without close supervision
* Experience with Linux server administration
* An interest in iOS/Android development
Benefits:
* Competitive salary of £35,000 - £55,000, depending on experience
* Learning/Conference budget for ongoing training
* Weekly allocation of time towards training
* Salary exchange smart pension scheme
* Enhanced maternity/paternity benefits
* 15% itison discount and 50% discount at all itison-owned venues
* Birthday day off
* Paid company socials & free tickets to all our major events
* On-site gym and lunchtime Pilates classes
* Charity day – paid time off to volunteer for a charity of your choice
* Fantastic work environment with an unending fruit bowl, cereal bar, and full bar set-up on the office for Friday Prosecco, or a healthy drink if preferred
About us:
Our Development team consists of four Ruby developers who work on our apps, one DevOp who wrangles our servers, and one Front-end developer. We have stand-ups and use automated testing, but couldn't claim to work to a strict methodology like Agile. We aim for an open, grown-up culture where everyone has an equal voice in discussions.
If you have any questions about the role, or would like to discuss it further before applying, please email gavin.montague@itison.com. No agencies or recruiters, please.
