Recruiters: please don't contact us at this stage.

-- 

Starting April/May 2013, full time, permanent
Salary: from £45,000 to £50,000 per annum

At amee, we are looking for an experienced developer to fill a permanent
position ideally starting end of April 2013.

You will be working as part of a 5 person scrum on a number of Ruby on
Rails and Java projects. We follow agile methodologies and expect you to be
working from our office in London’s East End with the rest of the team and
product owners.

Your main focus will be on ameeProfile, our environmental business
directory written in Ruby on Rails, and interfacing via a RESTful API with
a back end application written in Java/Groovy using Spring; as a minimum
you'll need to be comfortable working in these two environments.  We're
looking for someone who's happy to work across the full stack, including
learning new technologies if necessary - of course the team will help with
this as much as possible.  There's plenty of scope for involvement in the
direction of our technology, and if you're the expert in something, you'd
be expected to take the lead.  You don't need specific experience with all
our tech, but any you do have is a bonus.

The RoR web stack includes:

Ruby 1.9.3
Rails 3.2
Rspec
Cucumber
Haml
Sass
Elasticsearch

The platform stack includes:

Java 7
Maven
Restlet
Spring 3
Hibernate
Jetty

It uses libraries like Jackson, Mockito and Logback.  A good understanding
of REST is essential.

We also use a variety of other technologies in our products and experience
with any of these would be beneficial:

Groovy
Gradle (we're considering a switch to this)
Cassandra
RabbitMQ
Lucene
JRuby

Projects are currently deployed with Capistrano to an AWS instance and are
served by MySQL databases (Amazon RDS).  For the near future, we are
looking to migrate some of our applications to Heroku. Source control is
done using Git (GitHub).

About us
amee’s mission is to provide credible environmental data on every
organisation in the world, starting with 2.1 million in the UK. We believe
that providing free access to this information will enable businesses,
governments and consumers to make better decisions about the use of our
