[LRUG] [JOBS] Senior Developer - Permanent Position

[Sam Barton]

Morning all

Smart Pension <https://www.autoenrolment.co.uk> is an established and
funded fintech based in West London. Our platform is built on a
purpose-built API that serves our customer facing applications (built in
Ember) and our partners who have integrated with us. See our API docs here
<http://developers.autoenrolment.co.uk/>.

We've been running for two years, the code is very clean with full test
coverage and no legacy Rails upgrades needed.

We're ideally looking for someone to work alongside our London based team,
but we're used to people doing some remote days.


More about the job below:

In simple terms, we're looking for an experienced Ruby developer to join
our growing developer team based in West London. Someone with a commercial
background in designing and developing applications but also someone who
can lead a team.

About Smart Pension

Smart Pension is an auto enrolment service for businesses. All UK
businesses are now required by law to set up a workplace pension scheme for
their employees. We aim to help businesses become compliant with their auto
enrolment duties as fast as possible, to allow business owners to get back
to their day job.

So why Ruby & Pensions?

We are an experienced team with 10 years of RoR under our belts working in
an industry that previously didn't welcome technology. Enter Smart Pension!
Our platform is built using a variety of APIs and contemporary best
practices meaning our customers can get set up in under half an hour
compared to some of our competitors who take days. Pensions may sound dull
on paper, but our goal is to make this process swift and easy to understand.

How we work

We don't cut costs when it comes to developing the best application for our
customers. Alongside our great team we use a number of contemporary tools
such as AWS, GitHub, Circle Ci, New Relic, to name a few. Our approach to
code is simple, keep it clean and ensure it has good test coverage. We
don't ship code just to hit a deadline. At Smart Pension you will work
along side experienced developers who will review your code and you will
review their code, everyone is treated equal when it comes to a PR. This
approach has helped us maintain at least 96% test coverage of our
application meaning we can focus on features rather than bug fixing.

Our Roadmap

We are constantly innovating, developing new products for the future to
support the needs for small to medium sized businesses. We are developing
new tools to make it easier for the financial community to use our services
for their clients. Using our own API, Financial Advisors, Accountants and
Payroll companies can now push their clients directly to our application
<https://www.autoenrolment.co.uk/payroll-support/partners>. This is an area
we want to grow. We have have plans for a number of mobile applications.

The Job

Smart Pension require the very best talent to improve our already industry
leading pension platform. Our platform is already sleek, easy to use and
fast. But we know that it can be better, and we need your help to achieve
this. If you are motivated, eager to learn and have a keen eye for detail
then we want to talk to you.

Your overall responsibilities will include:

   - Developing new user facing features.
   - Working with the team to engineer a better code base.
   - Help design new tools building upon a micro service based API.

Your day to day responsibilities will include:

1. Working with the CTO to design new projects and plan work for the rest
of the team.

2. Work on tickets assigned to you, this includes writing code and specs
(tests) and checking that new code passes other test coverage.

3. Review Pull Requests from other developers.

4. You don't have to know about pensions, but confidence in numeracy is
helpful.

5. Be awesome at what you do best, code!

Below are the key skills that we are looking for:

   - Understanding of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
   - Solid understanding of object-oriented programming, with some
   real-world experience.
   - Web technologies: HTTP, Javascript, CSS, HTML.
   - Domain Driven Design.
   - Other skills: Git, Redis.

Salary will reflect skills and experience.
