Ruby on Rails Contractor
Job Description
We are a small software engineering company based in London. We are looking for a Rails contractor as an addition to our team.
We work on several different systems for a range of Startups at any given time. This means that the tasks the developers encounter are varied and range from system architecture and requirements engineering to development, testing and deploying production systems.
The team works remotely and meets via video chat every day. You have the freedom to manage your time yourself, we don't mind when you work as long as the work gets done. You will regularly meet others from the team and the project managers face-to-face in London, depending on where you are based. We are all developers so no frustration with non-technical managers. bitsilk has flat hierarchies, we just get together as a team, discuss and find a solution.
You will lead development on complete projects together with a project manager who deals with the customer and manages the requirements.
We are looking for someone who feels comfortable deciding core implementation questions autonomously.
Overall it is a very flexible and varied position that will put you in front of a range of technologies together with a great team.

About bitsilk
bitsilk was founded by two developers in '08. Over the past years we developed our buiness model, market niche and identity.
We focus on startups and our mission is to provide a complete service from idea to launch and then on to continuous iteration.
Developers know under which circumstances they can do their job best - for ourselves and for the project. That is how bitsilk operates.
bitsilk is flexible and a great place to work (if we may say so ourselves) but we have big ambitions and a vision to take it much further. Since we have flat hierarchies and short ways everyone can have an impact on how the company operates and in which direction we go.
Besides working on client projects we get together to work on fun side projects from time to time. Currently we are building a strategy game using WebGL and NodeJS websockets whenever there is time.
We meet up regularly - virtually and offline - for a beer or a dinner and are planning a retreat in Denmark this winter.
