Hello,

I'm a Ruby developer, not a recruiter, but I am trying to help my current
client to hire someone...

Barts and the Royal London Trust are looking for an experienced and highly
motivated Ruby developer with proven knowledge of Rails 4 and PostgreSQL to
assist in the development of a multi-site application aimed at unifying and
simplifying the administration of renal medicine.

The project will ultimately be open source and made available to several
sites within the Barts and Royal London NHS Trust, this is a rare chance to
work in the digital transformation of public medical systems, and a likely
precursor to a wider transformation of NHS digital services. It's a great
opportunity to produce practical and hugely beneficial software.

Working directly with highly experienced clinicians you'll be expected to
define behaviours and requirements and use your experience of application
development to deliver features which modernise, simplify and enhance the
significant administrative burden of complex renal medicine. The ability
self-organise and apply experience of agile principles are essential.

The project is already under way, built with Rails 4 and PostgreSQL, it
uses industry standard technologies you'd expect to see in a modern Rails
application.

You should be comfortable extending conventional Rails patterns, eg.
Service classes for persistence logic, custom validators, backgrounding
libraries, and have solid experience of asynchronous messaging, this is how
medical systems tend to communicate.

Knowledge of API design and interaction would be a bonus as there is plenty
of scope for SOA to deliver some of the larger features required.

A solid understanding of infrastructure requirements and best-practices for
a modern Rails app, Capistrano deployments, Nginx administration experience
is desirable.

It's essential you have the ability to self-organise, manage your own
workflow and help steer decisions on priority and delivery using your
experience of agile processes. A good understanding of developing stable
data management applications is required, graceful degradation, practical
stuff like that.

Good renumeration and flexibility in working terms, what you'd expect for
an experienced Ruby developer, more details available on request from Dr.

Thanks!
