[LRUG] [JOBS] Full-time Ruby developer

[Ketan Patel]

Are you a Ruby developer who'd relish the challenge of working for one of the most exciting human rights charities around?

Survival is the leading organisation supporting tribal peoples around the world. We're radical, uncompromising in our belief that tribal peoples should be able to take their rightful place in the 21st Century, and innovative in our use of technology. Our website is a vital campaigning tool, and we're now looking for a developer to drive its evolution in the years ahead.

We currently run a monolith Rails application that will be rewritten from the ground up as the objectives of our site have changed dramatically since its creation.

This is an exciting time to get in on the ground level of some exciting greenfield projects, most of which will be open sourced – so it’s a great opportunity to get your name out there in the open source community.

Being part of a small team, you will not be pigeonholed by your job description. Your voice counts and we welcome your ideas.
