[LRUG] [JOBS] Rails contractor for MVP - Remote but London based

[Wilson]

I've done £425, £500, £550 and £625 for a few months. My best and longest
gig was £700 for 3 years. Then I went to Thailand to start my own thing.
When I returned to Europe, during the Great Depression Of Ruby Contracts,
there were no contracts and I had to go permanent.
