Remote working for UK company
Start ASAP
The DeepCrawl Tech Team develops and operates the website-auditing product DeepCrawl, in addition to other products PublishCheck and Robotto. We want to place reliable, trusted, insightful data within the reach of customers for websites of all sizes, by building well-tested and scalable software. Everyone in the team works in more than one area of the product, be that frontend, backend, databases, or devops. Predominantly, we use Ruby, CI, various types and sizes of database, Puppet, and AWS.
We’re looking to contract two software developers with strong skills in Ruby and a good understanding of how the web works (analysing it is our product, after all). The foci of the roles are API/UI for one, and SQL/testing for the other.
Desired Skills—both roles
- strong knowledge of Ruby
- automated test writing within a CI environment (MiniTest, RSpec, etc.)
- good understanding of how the web works (you can explain what happens when you visit a webpage in a browser)
- experience with common databases (relational, document, etc.) experience with a VCS (Git, etc.)
- ability to work independently (with tenacity to journey through unknown code)
- excellent organisational skills
Desired Skills—API/UI role
- experience working with RESTful JSON APIs
- strong knowledge of major Ruby web frameworks (Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, etc.)
- HTML/CSS/frontend JavaScript (as developer, not designer)
- experience testing API and UI code (MiniTest, RSpec, etc.)
Desired Skills—SQL/testing role
- experience working with and interrogating data warehouses, including writing and optimising non-trivial parallel-run SQL queries (AWS Redshift, Hive with Hadoop, etc.)
- experience testing code across all types of services, including API, distributed job-processing systems (you can identify potential improvements for coverage, quality, and maintainability)
