[LRUG] [JOB] Rails Developer

[Jason Langenauer]

Hi,

I've been a lurker on this list and at a few LRUG meetings, but to
introduce myself, I'm the director of engineering (grand title, though
still a small team!) at TradeMobile, a startup located in Mayfair.
We're currently looking for 2 permanent rails developers to start with
us in the new year.

I've included the position description below. Any questions or queries
can be sent to me at this email address, and if you wish to apply,
please do so to trademobile.jobs at gmail.com. No recruiters.

Cheers

Jason Langenauer
