[LRUG] [JOBS] Required: Rails craftsperson

[Olly Headey]

Hi LRUG

I haven't posted a job for a while, I hope you're all well 😊.  We're
creating a new, small team of Rails craftspeople, and I thought people here
might be interested (or know people who are interested!). A bit of context
first...

FreeAgent is a Ruby on Rails application (running Rails 6.1, Ruby 3) that
has been serving happy customers since 2007. We have 110,000+ customers.
Over the years we have seen a number of approaches to our front-end code,
from the early days of Prototype.js, through to jQuery, a bit of React
once-upon-a-time and, latterly, Stimulus.

I believe the Rails front-end ecosystem has entered a new era of maturity
and we want our new "Front-end Architecture" team to help us consolidate
our front-end tech around modern Rails standards – ES6, Webpacker, Stimulus
and Hotwire – while working closely with our Design System team on our
home-grown design system, FreeStyle.

The team will focus on things like removing jQuery (in the first instance),
while crafting our many views and controllers to take advantage of Turbo
where it can help, write beautifully minimal Stimulus controllers (and, to
be honest, removing all JS where possible!), writing semantic markup and
helping to integrate new components from FreeStyle.

I think this is a rewarding role made for Rails craftspeople.

If you're interested, please drop me a line (olly at freeagent.com). Happy to
chat! Thanks a lot :-)

Olly
