[LRUG] [JOBS] Freelance RoR for DiS

[Matt Spendlove]

*Hi all

Drowned in Sound <http://drownedinsound.com/> is one of the UKs largest
independent music platforms. It’s an extremely active site with around 20k
uniques daily. Between the editorial (mostly record reviews and interviews)
and the messageboard, the site has around 420k unique users and racks up to
up 2.5m pageviews a month.

I’ve been working directly with Sean Adams, who founded the site back in
2000, for the last couple of years maintaining and enhancing the existing
site. We’ve started to build a new version of the site, based around new
GUI designs. We needed to refresh the tech stack which has involved major
Ruby & Rails upgrades, a port from MySQL to Postgres, and a move to Heroku
hosting.

We’ve completed some new features but require a resource to help us
complete the outstanding work and get the site live this year. I’ll still
have an active role but my schedule/commitments don’t allow enough time for
me to complete the build alone.

Tech wise, the new site is on Ruby 1.9.3 / Rails 3.2.2. We’re using
Cucumber to document acceptance tests / RSpec for units on all new features.

The rate/terms would be negotiated directly with Sean, under my
recommendation but I’d imagine around 10 days work at £300 per day would be
a decent guide. I’d imagine the work would need to be completed by the end
of October, remote working a given.

If you’re interested please contact me asap.

Best

Matt*
