The Authors Guild: RUBY ON RAILS SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Location: New York
URL: www.authorsguild.org

The Authors Guild has successfully completed a preview of a combined e-commerce and event platform site, and is preparing for a full, aggressive launch in the first quarter of 2012. We are looking to hire a freelance Ruby on Rails Software Engineer. 

The site includes e-commerce and event sign-up components, referral/affiliate tracking, and a robust set of back-end administrative tools. Notable technical features include three integrations (payment gateway, tax computation, CDN) and extensive decisioning logic in the public site. The site is built in Ruby on Rails (Ruby 3.0.5/Rails 1.8.7) with Nginx configuration on a Platform-as-a-Service cloud hosting environment. 

The part-time Ruby Software Engineer (up to 25 hours a week), who will work with another full time Software Engineer and Project Manager, will help implement new features to the site. 

We use an agile process with Stories and Defects managed in the Rally collaborative development tool.

 

To apply: Send resume and cover letter to Jobs@authorsguild.org. Please reference either Software Engineer in the subject heading of your email.
