Hello LRUG!

We are looking for mid-level (£40k - £60k) and senior (£65k - £85k) Rails
Developers to join our London office

*Who are we? *
Unboxed has been around for just over a decade. We do Ruby on Rails web
development and early stage product development with an agile consulting
offering. As an example of the kind of thing that we do, you may have
signed a petition on parliament’s petition website (
https://petition.parliament.uk) … we built that! Read more here:
https://unboxed.co/project-stories/petitions/

*How are we changing the world? *
Our people build solutions for customers trying to solve problems that
matter to society.

We take our clients from an initial idea to a fully scaled digital product
whilst simultaneously coaching and training their teams, leaving them with
a self-sustaining business. The work we do is in both the public and
private sectors

*Who are you? *

   - You develop and maintain complex Ruby on Rails applications and make
   informed decisions quickly, drawing from experience across a wide technical
   stack
   - You involve your team in discussions on progress of stories as you
   turn designs and wireframes into functional applications. Ideally you are
   experienced in pioneering the way people work in an agile environment
   - You have strong object-oriented design skills, experience in setting
   up and maintaining UNIX systems and the use of JavaScript tools
   - You understand the benefits of TDD and CI and are delivery-focussed


*How we roll *
Expect to do these things: Learn. Innovate. Deliver. Share.

How we do that is by:

   - Learning from the only UK based Rails core team member
   - And working with one of the organisers of LRUG
   - On interesting and varied project work
   - We do co-location and collaboration with customers
   - And offer 10 Innovation days per year
   - With potential for equity in an Unboxed product
   - We have a conference budget (recent blog links below)
   - And do biannual reviews
   - With a peer-to-peer mentoring programme and control over the areas
   that you grow in
   - We destress with weekly games, reflection and drinks
   - And get visibility of the finances at a company social meeting
   - Go on 25 holidays days a year (plus bank holiday allowance) - with an
   option to flex


*What happens next? *

   1. Send your CV to iwantajob at unboxed.co and, if we like what we see, we
   will ask you to complete a short coding exercise. This is an opportunity
   to see your approach to solving problems and some of your code on a clean
   build project. Although the problem is simple, we specifically ask that you
   treat these as real feature requests.
   2. We expect that you will return a submission within one week. Your
   submission is used to support the full recruitment process so take as long
   as you need to showcase your best skill.
   3. Within one week we will give feedback on your solution - even if we
   decide not to progress with the application. If we do progress your
   application - you will be invited into our offices within the week to talk
   about the choices you made and pair with one of our developers on your
   solution. Here we are looking for you to either extend the functionality or
   incorporate changes suggested by our feedback.
   4. During your time in our office we get a couple of other people
   involved to meet you and talk through how we work. This is a time for you
   to explore how you might like the idea of working with us.
   5. We all share our thoughts on working with you with the person who
   interviews you in the final step. It is at this point that we will
   potentially make an offer.

>From start to finish we expect this process to last about three weeks, can
be quicker if necessary.

If you are still unsure but would like to come in, have a look around and
chat further, please let me know and we can get you in for a coffee/tea/hot
chocolate and biscuits (tell me your favourites and I will order them in)

As promised, here are a few recent conference blogs:

Looking forward to meeting you!
